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...
