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.

      What would the matching mechanism do? Look at your fediverse activity and match people who like the same things as you?

      Could be interesting but creepy

        Don’t make it a scratch-built, stand-alone Fediverse server app.

        Make it a third-party add-on for Hubzilla or (streams) or Forte that sources the profiles of channels that activate that add-on. I mean, you’ve gotta see the number of profile fields available on these three.
