Well now we have Reddit alternative (lemmy, kbin, etc) and a Twitter alternative (Mastodon). I just came across an idea of a dating app/making friends fediverse but idk how would that work but looking at how dating apps are these days which are a total shit show, I am kinda curious to hear everyone's thoughts on that idea.

So what I've seen, there are already a lot of home grown dating apps, the problem is that they don't have a huge user base.

For example I joined a nerd focused dating app and got one message a month later (I also reached out to a lot of people).

So I think it can be done but the real question is how to generate a large enough user base to make it useful...

Its a good thought, but I can't really imagine how that could practically work and be safe to use. Keeping it well moderated enough while also federating it enough for mass adoption to be viable seems like it would be very challenging.
