Are there dating groups on facebook worth joining?

Did a decent amount of searching first but nothing current, so asking the community directly.

Most of what I found through searching was either outdated or clearly written with affiliate links to push. Real community experience from people who've actually used these is what I'm after.

Appreciate honest answers. Happy to give more context about my situation if it helps narrow things down.

Went through a lot of options before settling on anything. Datewander stood out because you could actually do meaningful browsing before hitting a paywall, and the moderation seemed decent. Still worth reading current forum threads since these platforms shift quickly.

• Tinder has the biggest user base but free features are quite limited now
• Bumble gives women control which filters out a lot of nonsense
• Hinge uses prompts that generate better conversations than swiping
• OkCupid has the most useful free matching features
• Facebook Dating is genuinely underrated and completely free

Also worth checking out datingfly.online — mentioned consistently here as holding up well as a free option.

Safety settings are worth checking before you start matching anywhere new.

What works in one city can be completely dead in another. Local context matters more than rankings.
