Telegram’s People Nearby allows users to connect with others close to them. Each Discord group has its own server. How to get people to notice you on Instagram and TikTok.
Making yourself visible on Telegram
Meeting new people is not particularly easy for anyone, but especially introverts. Almost 45% of introverts who responded to a recent survey about the best ways to meet people said they didn’t have a clue.
Telegram is worth mentioning in this context. Globally, the platform has 950 million monthly active users as of 2024. Its “People Nearby” feature works similarly to how dating sites allow users to discover potential matches in the area. It promotes local connections and paves the way for friendships, meetups, and more.
Due to privacy considerations, Telegram doesn’t automatically make profiles visible to others nearby. If you want other users to find your profile, you must activate “Make Myself Visible.” Other Telegram users can then reach out and initiate a conversation.
Still, be careful. Telegram dating scams are on the rise. In the US, people lost $1.3 billion collectively to romance scams in 2022, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
Each group on Discord has its own server
Discord online communities are transforming how people connect and form relationships. Each group on Discord has a separate server. As of December 2023, the platform had 19 million active servers weekly, up from just 6.7 million three years prior.
Discord dating servers transcend geographical boundaries, offering opportunities to foster interactions, meet like-minded folks, and form lasting relationships. Among the communities are gaming groups, customer support, workplace communication, and staying connected with friends. Discord users can communicate over voice and video, create channels for different types of discussions, send private messages, react and comment on messages, set permission levels, and create and promote events.
Your profile settings must be public to meet people on Instagram
Back in 2015, Instagram partnered with Tinder as users began to recognize the social medium’s advantages for dating. The platform provides a wide variety of communication features.
The largest demographic is males between 18 and 24. 14% of men between 18 and 35 say they use Instagram to find dates.
You might have the most adorable pictures, but other users won’t be able to view them if your settings are private unless you’re connected as friends. State that you’re single in your bio and use location to narrow your search and find people near you.
Use popular singles hashtags to find other singles and follow any you’re interested in. These include #single or #singlelife. The search will yield the top reels and posts with those tags.
Reels and posts tagged near you are also a good way to find eligible singles. Tap the Search icon and search for your neighborhood, city, favorite bar, nearby landmark, or any other local venue where singles spend time. Tap Places to narrow down the search, then tap a location to see photos users have shared from it.
Pay attention to your TikTok bio
TikTok has become a behemoth on the social media market with 1.04 billion monthly active users worldwide. 170 million people use TikTok in the US, and a lot of people use TikTok communities to meet others.
It’s possible you already have an account. What does your biography say about you? Is it just a general description? Potential romantic interests should get a feel for what you’re like when they read the bio. Upload content that reveals your personality and use TikTok dating hashtags so other singles can find it. These include #Dateme, #Followme, #Love, #Relationshipgoals, and the somewhat desperate but honest #Someonedateme.
