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?

I actually think observing your actual behaviour would be a better more honest way of matching.
And technically it’s all public info so it’s not technically a privacy issue; they’d get it over activitypub the same as all fediverse platforms already do.
But it feels wrong to do.
It would be, if it were comprehensive and applicable to match making, but I don’t think for most people that can be gleaned from fedi. Most people only lurk, few even directly follow communities, and the content people do interact with likely does not represent them well unless they put themselves out there like that.
Well put.
I guess I also don’t really know the average users behavior, or more specifically typical fedi behavior of users who would use a matchmaking service.
I’m just highly skeptical of compatibility quizzes, it feels like there must be a better solution.
