Are there any decent apps for finding friends these days?

When I get back from working overseas I want to put some effort into finding new friends - since while I've been away I've enjoyed socialising, and hadn't realised how little I've done at home since covid.

This would be for regular friendship, I'll keep my other activities to grindr or feeld. I also plan to try and find meetups for socialising purposes (language interchange, casual munches, LGBT groups).

Okcupid used to be good for this, I was a super early user of their website. 15ish years ago, I traveled for work a lot and I added where I would be to my profile. I met a lot of super cool people, went to concerts, and ate lots of good food in so many places. But I’ve heard that place has been enshittified pretty badly.

Is Bumble any good anymore? How about HER or is that more focused on dating?

This is the thing, I used okcupid ages ago, too, but for dating. And I met some nice people ... but it turned weird at some point and I started getting loads of messages from Arabic men, and couples looking for a unicorn. And the connection with genuine women trailed off.

I gave up on it, and then promptly met my now-wife through a hobby meetup, lol

Yeah, I started using it at close to launch 20ish years ago. It used to be great for dating and finding friends, but I’ve heard it’s terrible now. I met my partner there about 13 years ago, but it was already starting to get crappy.

I’m looking at ways to socialize more too. I hope you find something!

Thanks, I hope you do too!

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
