Anyone else overwhelmed by this new app? Feels like tumblr and perhaps parts of 'Feeld' had a baby.

What about this app makes you feel overwhelmed?

I’m new here but I don’t feel overwhelmed. Yet.

For me (i guess each feed is somehow algorithmically optimised) the endless feed of cute shirtless 20 somethings, and the odd gay tumblr pop culture/mood board aesthetics, paired with the faux gifs. Not that many people in my city joined yet. Havn't quite figured out the insentive to connect with people yet. (I'm somehow pleased we aren't flooded with AI slop, yet.)

@fiinn I totally get it because my feed is the same (and I guess I’m just following the same type of content 🫣). So I kinda understand now what u talking about, but maybe trying to follow people you have similar interests can help. And yeah, I hope people never brings AI here.

Also, I find the matching system to be a bit, not that intuitive yet? (Oh boy I hope the muscular dude in Spain with the 20 shirtless gym selfies like me bacl 😍 ). But other than that happy to play with something that is not Tinder or Grindr ❤️ #goodvibes #questioningwithlove

Lol ok I realized if you scroll to the bottom of a post it will try to show you similar photos 😂 . Wished you could search for #tags

@fiinn you can tune your feed more if you click on the X under posts and press not interested it’ll turn down the amount of shirtless pics in your For You feed lol Other than that Match is mostly if you and another follower want to connect/chat and you select intentions and if they select the same ones back they’ll like to chat too. Its less of the traditional match and more friendly (who knows, muscular dude in Spain might follow you back with intentions if they like to get to know you 👀)

Tbh I mostly match the people that follow me first and people who spam like my posts 🙈

What’s missing is a story section

In my feed everyone here just looks the same? Dark hair, little beard or mustache. In their 20-ties. No variety.

@g.erardo so I realized that this app has a kind of "show images that are similar to the one you are looking at"-engine. I think my suggested profiles to follow and the ones I myself chose kind of look like models hahaha. Question is how one should find people that are not similar to the ones already attached to your profile.

It kind of feels ( in my opinion) like a mix of Reddit and instagram 😅. I kind of like it tbh.

Why are you overwhelmed, we ask, and proceed to overwhelm him 🐬

After some time to reflect, i guess the two rows vs instagrams one row feed is the most overstimulating. I also decided to X and unfollow everyone that posts studio ghibli selfies and AI slop. We've got enough of that crap on the meta platforms. Thx for tips y'all ❤️
