The strongest Lahti profiles say roughly where in Lahti the person spends time without naming an address, because specific but not identifying is the balance in Lahti.

A distance filter tight enough that every match could realistically meet you in Lahti.
Enough context in the photos that a stranger in Lahti could start a conversation from them.

Before you meet in Lahti

Meet somewhere public in Lahti the first time, tell someone where you are going, and keep the early conversation on-platform until your Lahti match is consistent.

Do not move to a private number in the first few messages, and if a Lahti match pushes for that, treat it as information about them.

— Victoria Barnes, RuneDate member
