Would a federated dating site work well? What would it look like?

Jump

  • I tried it. Pretty cool, but the closest user to me was 270 km away. Maybe one day I'll meet her, but for now I guess it doesn't have critical mass for me.

  • When you say algorithmic dating, did you try multiple apps or just one? Did you have more positive experiences with any one app?

    I may do it, but I'm a bit shy about the account creation part, specifically having to take pictures of myself which are not terrible. I feel like I'm decently attractive, but I hate all pictures of me. I think this is honestly my biggest hurdle.

  • You know, I am single and have been curious about dating apps for a while. But I never really got over the hurdle of making a profile because of how much of a hellscape it seems. I may be curious enough to make a profile in this website tonight (fully expecting 0 users in my entire country)

    Computer... Erase that entire personal log.

    • What I like about lemmy is how often I come across account names and think oh I've interacted with you before.

    Jump

  • Nah I don't comment often, I often write whole essays and then end up deleting them because I feel bad about it hahaha

    Jump

  • Yeah, me too. I may not be comfortable speaking a lot so this is all one directional, but running into Stamets and Picard Maneuver outside of Star Trek subs always makes me go "hey! I know this person!"

    • One of my favorite Star Trek tropes in any series

    It looks more like the bottom picture than I'd like to admit.

    • Looking for game recommendations

    Jump

  • Good games? He's excluding pretty much all games!

    • What obscure thing you enjoy do you never get to talk about?

    Jump

  • Oh! I also love that too! And thinking about maybe having seen some of my current best friends before we ever met - like we were both at a mall at the same day when we were kids or something.

    Basically that one episode of Community!

    • would it be simpler for people if we said "server" instead of "instance"?

    Jump

  • If you tell me I have to choose a Lemmy provider I'll immediately assume you have to pay for it

    • What is a story from the internet that will remain in your mind forever?

    Jump

  • I see *******

    It just turns it into asterisks for other users. That's why while you see hunter2, all I see is *******.

    • What do you feel optimistic about?

    Jump

  • I was going through my old comments and realized I had commented on this earlier.

    How's September going so far?

    • [How is your day going?]

    Jump

  • It's really fine, I can't complain! The doctor told me to do the exams and not dwell on them as the probability really was low.

    I get a follow up appointment on the second week of October.

    Thank you for the support! How did it go for you? Fine, I hope

    • [How is your day going?]

    Jump

  • I'm waiting with a 1.5L bottle of my own piss outside a cancer center to see if I have cancer

    I probably don't, though, so I feel for the other people in line with me

    • What is the most universal name?

    Jump

  • Everyone is saying it means "gift" but Wikipedia (as well as an embroidery my grandma gave me when I was young!) says it comes from Yohanan/Johanan יוֹחָנָן‎ (Yôḥānān), which means "YHWH (Yahweh/God) is gracious", with gracious being used in the form of "merciful" or "forgiving".

    Which can kind of mean the same thing but is also different enough. Johnathan, however, does mean "God has given".

    TIL that John and Johnathan are not different versions of the same name!

  • Console, and it was perfectly fine. It's in third person, which helps, and there are powers which don't need to be aimed in real time. I never felt like using a mouse and keyboard would make me significantly better.

  • Finished Mass Effect 2 and loved it! I want to start ME3 but I think I should give it a bit more time.

    Since everyone is talking about Starfield, I decided to play a bit... Of No Man's Sky. And I'm completely lost since I hadn't played in almost a year maybe? I don't remember anything, what I was doing or even how to play. But since I started I already started one of the quests related to the settlement and I'm doing it now. It's fun, I missed this game.

  • Everyone is agreeing with you on the first point, but I have to agree with you on Risa! It's my favorite part of the fediverse so far, by far.

    • Is there something like infinite scrolling on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Or just go to these alternative interfaces directly and log into any instance:

    There are several instances of Mlmym (yes, instances of a UI!). Here's one: lemmy.bolha.one. Tesseract you are supposed to self host, their github has a demo instance but you should probably look into hosting it yourself.

    I love Alexandrite myself.
