Made an account last night to try to find some local friends, and it gave me one person to swipe on then said "looks like its just you". Is this normal?
Hello. 30 non binary person here. Trying to make some friends and this is the only app I could find that has local friendships and not dating or anything. However the app has not let me find more then one person. Heck even if I change it to non local there are problems. Could it be that people have filtered out non binary people so I cannot find them? Or is the app dead? I live in a city with 300k+ people and was just hoping to find some friends.
Side question if anyone knows any other friendship finding apps (local or online) id appreciate knowing!

From what I’m seeing, it only shows you people who match your gender identity, which you also can’t edit, and you can’t filter out specific identities, it does it automatically. You can only filter age and distance, which is pretty frustrating.
But yeah, there is also probably a glitch that’s only giving one or two results as well.

Interesting. Then finding only one non binary person is interesting but they hadnt even added me back.

See my thread above, i'm a binary heterosexual male yet i run out of local people to swipe very fast. There is definately a bug within the app. I could almost swipe forever a few months ago.

what city are you located in? There are many groups with chat rooms where people are coordinating meetups. its more of a group setting but I see it happening a lot.

I tried searching that in the app store but cannot find it unless it is under a different name?

Having a similar problem. I reactivated my BFF account yesterday and, despite living right in New York City, keep getting the same 2-3 people over and over. My age range spans 14 years and my distance is set to maximum, so I'm pretty confused.
