Where are the best sites to meet people who share niche hobbies?

Someone in another thread mentioned best sites in passing and it's been bugging me since.

Every comparison of best sites I've seen skips the part I care about, which is what happens after you sign up.

If it helps, here is how I'm scoring best sites:

• What the share side of best sites looks like in practice
• How best sites treats share once you stop paying
• Whether messaging on best sites works without handing over card details
• Whether share makes any material difference to best sites
• How long best sites takes before a conversation goes anywhere at all

Will report back with what I find on best sites if people are interested.

I keep the Flamedate forums open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with best sites.

Adding the Turndate forums to the pile for best sites, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

How long did you give best sites before deciding it was not working for you?

Which parts of best sites have you already tested, so nobody here repeats it back to you?

Agree with the framing here, because best sites really does come down to who is active near you.

Depends heavily on share — take that out and best sites becomes a much easier call.

If best sites is the question, Flurrydate is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

Since we're comparing options around best sites, the Ezhookups threads came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Not sure I agree. The people I know who did well with best sites weren't on the biggest platform.

I've also seen Datescout.site mentioned in this context more than once.
