    Dating is among the last things i expected to be brought into the fediverse and turned open source.

      I agree but thinking about it, it’s probably the service that should be open source. Tinder and tinder parent company is messing up dating for an entire generation

      Dating-like apps come up in fedi discussions quite often. They have interesting aspects, for instance where obviously privacy is a big concern and where current generation of federated apps aren’t adequate for dating. And how do communities / instances establish their trustworthiness? There are kinds of ‘dating’ were the requirements can be less severe. Like “Meet new Friends” kind of services where e.g. you seek folks for collaborative gameplay in some MMORPG or something.

        This is interesting, I struggle to see how/why it makes sense as a federated service. What does the person hosting the instance get out of it once they’ve found a partner? Seems like an open source dating app would be better suited to a p2p implementation.

    Is it some kind of rule that fediverse services must have odd or unpronounceable names?

      All the other names were taken, like on Futurama when the Mets retired every number

    Oh yay look at this another dating app. So we will have even more bots, even more horny men and MAYBE 10 woman that are actual woman and not some creep pretending to be one. Sorry man but making a dating app where mostly nerds will go will just end up with that situation.

    I dont think it matters where its at, dating apps suck. Not because they arent federated, but because realistically, most of the people using it wont get anything out of it. And limiting it to such a space where your userbase isnt the general populace makes it where youll only get a handful of times it may even work at all.
