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?

Not exactly federated, but open source: https://github.com/Alovoa/alovoa

from the images on the front page, i get the feeling the userbase is tiny

I'm not sure if I posted this, but I figured out they have seeing 50k users, and 1:10 gender ratio - although that doesn't say how many are real people.

Cool, didn't know that one. Maybe it's a good first step. Since it's open source, people can work with it and develope it further.

The trouble is that with this sort of thing you really do need some form of moderation or quality control (of the users, not (only) the platform) because it will be inundated by fake profiles and nasty content.

As much as I'm cheering for Alovoa I don't see how this is solveable. 🥲
