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?

Let's not clone trash. Tinder sucks because it has no matching mechanism to filter out incompatible people. To find one interesting profile on Tinder I have to swipe about 500 profiles. To get more matches, I risk some false positives and like ~2% of profiles. Then I need to filter the matches in person. Very inefficient, a waste of time.

The opposite of that was OkCupid before Match Group destroyed it.

This could be a symptom of being corporate-driven. They suggest you incompatible people, because they want you to pay (to get better results). I assume you only tried the free version. I never tried the paid one.

I think this problem could be solved.

Even if you pay they have no incentive to get you to stop paying (i.e. find a partner).

If anything it's the opposite. They want user retention so they have an incentive to show you people that won't work long term.
