    Can someone please make an app for meeting people that doesn’t ban me or require me to enter all my personal data?

    I feel like its so hard to meet people these days, since all the apps have turned into data harvest and selling machines :(

      Haven’t done it using an app. Pick an activity. Find a club that does it. Meet in person

          Pick an activity. I’m into the outdoors, so looked at local Sierra Club chapters and cycling clubs. Joined a couple. Met a lot of people.

            ?? How do you find a club???

            Let’s say I want DnD, I look at Facebook, into the library and then searched for a website and found nothing

            What should I do now?

              Check your local game store if you have one, you can ask around there.

              You can also create an lfg post on reddit in the tabletop RPG subreddit for your area, or find the Lemmy equivalent

              I searched Facebook, found a group related to my activity, and all I found was bots posting ads trying to get me to buy things related to the activity.

                I didn’t find either group on social media. Real groups have some other way to reach them.
