One habit that helps: no forced photo verification before you can look around Oakland.
Nothing about the Oakland listing is pay-to-appear — placement is not sold.
In practice: search by interest as well as distance, which matters in a place the size of Oakland.

Do this early: set your distance filter wider than feels sensible for your first week in Oakland before you decide the pool is empty.
Cheap test: update your photos every few months if you are dating in Oakland long term.
Write a bio that says what you want, not just what you like, before searching Oakland.
Worth knowing: add three to five clear photos before you start browsing Oakland.
Small thing: check at different times of day, because activity in Oakland is not evenly spread.
