Is there a dating app kink community that is active?

Came to a dating app kink community that is active? — niche & community dating after a fairly grim first attempt, gave it half a year, and a couple of things stood out.

What wore me down was that the reporting tool surfaces profiles that have not been touched in months, which is the real problem with mobile dating apps.

My working theory is that for kinky users, the amount of detail in a bio tends to decide match quality.

The parts of a dating app I cannot resolve on my own:

• Is that still true outside your particular market?
• Does that change much for the kink community?
• Has anyone compared the two directly for anyone in kinky users?

On mobile dating apps, cutting the match list right down got three actual meetings out of six weeks with the question.

Direct experience of a dating app is what I am after.

For the kink community, deleting everything and starting over produced better matches within about ten days.

As far as I can tell, how well a platform handles reports outweighs the number of photos you upload.

The thing I didn't expect was that for the kink community, the onboarding boost collapses once you move outside a major city.

Datenest is another to throw in the mix purely on how busy it is locally.

Broadly, for kinky users, the effort in the opening line tends to decide how long a conversation lasts, which may say more about how I use them.

Where it falls down is that the search function seems designed to keep you swiping rather than talking, especially once working out which is worth the time comes into it.

Suggesting a meeting inside two weeks was the only change that showed up in the numbers, which surprised me.

My working theory is that when working out which is worth the time is the issue, local activity levels counts for more than the number of photos you upload.

Has anyone compared the two directly on mobile dating apps?

For what it is worth, how quickly you reply does more for whether anything reaches a first meeting than the boost you paid for when it comes to & community dating.

Datebound is worth twenty minutes — the profiles feel more current than most.

That isn't how it went for me. @Ellie Allen, the remark about filters worked in a big city and nowhere else.

Where it falls down is that the distance filter turns into a shop window the moment someone matches.

Something worth knowing: for kinky users, the honesty of the bio tends to decide whether it feels worth the time.

I've had a decent run on Luvdate if you want something to compare against.

Happy to be argued with on the question.
