Anyone else remember using Facebook to find out if your new crush was available?

I mean besides rating women, that was the initial purpose of FB.

I think Lemmy dating would work much better for people living in North America. Americans seem to be the biggest demographic by far.

I live in Northern Ireland, the chances of finding other people from here on Lemmy are already slim, let alone a girl from here who is a similar age to me and up for a date!

Dating apps are bit like voting in Northern Ireland in the UK general election. Technically you're taking part in choosing the next PM but in reality you're just squinting hard at a small list of munters that'll do nothing for you.

There's a lot of European users! In fact, I recall an entire community of folks centered in.. maybe Scotland?– sharing local news and going-ons with each other. So it can definitely be so with other areas!

Though, yeah, I think it may be less efficient if you're looking for folks who are local. May be more for folks just casting a net for someone, anywhere.
