Tbh, maybe someone should try making an open-source dating app.
You know what, being a dev myself that’s something I’ll try as a hobby project. We’ll see how it work out.

Honestly, dating apps are one of the cases for a federated system. Use whatever frontend you want, no one person owns the backend so they can’t sleazily monetize you. Probably would need to be a bit more cryptographic than something like lemmy or mastodon though.

With activityhub gaining traction, I actually think it’s possible. You essentially self host your profile, which gets federated around. You swipe left/right, thereby accepting federation from a match of blocking.

Making a dating app is easy. Getting the users is not.

Yuck with the penises and all that? How the hell you supposed to fuck a penis anyway? What’re you supposed to do, dock em or something? I ain’t going near no gross dick. I mean sure, if she looked hot and I went to pull up her skirt after I had a few drinks in the bar and suddenly there was a dick… Well I don’t need to look at that when I’m tapping that ass from behind. It’s not like I’m gay or anything though. Sheesh. Weirdos.

Depends on how it is used. But I don’t think it should be used for the matching process itself though. Maybe to help match interest (tags) between each other, like giving a connection score between two of them, but other than that, I see no other privacy respecting way to use that.
Moreover, on which data would we train on? I don’t think there is any anonymized dating app dataset around.

Keep us posted pls.
Will do, but don’t expect anything for at least a few month. 😆
I know about:
Alova
As always someone already thought of it 😂.
I’ll take a look.

This could work.
Could be a good idea to differentiate from exiating solutions.
IDK much about it, but this exists:

If you need machine learning to match people, send me a message lol

Forget dating apps. Is there a Lemmy community like R4R? If there is, I can’t find one.
Just did a search, and there are 3 with none active.
