Genuine question on the most popular free lesbian dating website globally right now — is it surprisingly decent, or is that just the loudest people talking?

Anyone got a counter-example on the most popular free lesbian dating website globally right now, or is that the settled view here? I have seen flurrydate.online, datescout.site, souldate.site suggested as well, with the same caveats attached.

@BrandonH — broadly with you, with one caveat: the thing that surprised me about the most popular free lesbian dating website globally right now was how much photo quality moves the needle more than the bio.

Two things moved the needle on the most popular free lesbian dating website globally right now for me: message five people and count the replies, and patience — the other variables barely registered. Someone upthread mentioned Datenest (free to browse) and I will second it — the free tier is genuinely usable.
