This thread focuses on LGBTQ+ friendly matching, serious-relationship goals. I asked the same thing because it is hard to tell whether a platform is actually active or just full of empty promises.
The big issue for me is always the mix of real profiles, hidden fees, and how fast the site pushes upgrades. Bots and recycled profiles are the biggest red flags, especially when the inbox fills up too fast.
If the platform cannot prove it has active users, I would rather move on and compare it with the more obvious options.
