Tinder-alternatives for the Fediverse (feddit.org)

Hey there!

Last year, I fell into the Fediverse-rabbithole and I really like it so far. We already have alternatives for Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit and so on.

But today I realized, there actually isn't an alternative for tinder. But I think there could be a huge demand for it. This could also motivate people to change platforms, since no one wants to buy tinder premium for a lot of money.

But I think I'm maybe not the first one coming up with this idea. What do you think about this?

Let's not clone trash. Tinder sucks because it has no matching mechanism to filter out incompatible people. To find one interesting profile on Tinder I have to swipe about 500 profiles. To get more matches, I risk some false positives and like ~2% of profiles. Then I need to filter the matches in person. Very inefficient, a waste of time.

The opposite of that was OkCupid before Match Group destroyed it.

This could be a symptom of being corporate-driven. They suggest you incompatible people, because they want you to pay (to get better results). I assume you only tried the free version. I never tried the paid one.

I think this problem could be solved.

Even if you pay they have no incentive to get you to stop paying (i.e. find a partner).

It has already happened to me. Too bad I can't afford a plane ticket to Canada.

EDIT: I didn't meant that part about the plane ticket seriously. And I didn't leak any DMs between us, because I never replied to her.

Every app is a dating app if you use it wrong enough.

A few weeks ago there was a screenshot going around "I met my wife in a github issue thread".
