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?

    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.

    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).
