It seems like you would mostly be contacted by scammers and sex workers, right?
So has anyone ever met someone genuine from one of those hookup posts?
Tell us your story.

There was this Canadian au pair on Reddit once long ago that I ended up meeting in person. I swear she’s real!
Met someone from a hookup post once, and for a whole night it felt surprisingly real.
We talked about random life stuff, hobbies, families, even future travel plans, and it all seemed genuine and effortless.
The next day the tone shifted, links started showing up, and it slowly became obvious she was actually a sex worker fishing for clients, not a real connection.
It stung a bit, not because of the hookup part, but because it reminded me how easy it is to mistake a well‑practiced script for genuine interest online.on lemmy? no lol
i’ve had mixed successes on reddit, 4chan, and discord - seeking particularly kinky women.
There are women on 4chan? Tell us about it!!!
nothing much to say. the social board is mostly a gooner cesspit but you find some intelligent, offbeat people searching for human connection and extreme consensual kink there, too. gender ratio isn’t much worse than other platforms (it’s actually worst on fetlife, which is a whole other can of beans).
Don’t worry Lemmy will have that too one day
I’m sorry but I highly doubt that will ever happen. The vast majority of content on here is just dudes posting stolen/recycled nudes.
I might just be lucky, but it’s worked a few times for me. Short term things, nothing long term, but a few nights or weeks or months where we were both able to get what we needed.
And also a few scammers and a bunch of sex workers, yeah.
I’ve chatted with a few people who made posts. They seemed real enough but it never went anywhere so I can’t say for sure.
agree with you, after few time when in first something feel off
Not since Craigslist.
I thought hookup posts were not allowed here? Or is there a specific group?
I’ve messaged with some of the content creators but never spoke about hooking up, I think most people here are in the US anyway.
There are people saying hookup posts should be against the rules here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/34985903
which implies it’s not against the rules currently? I have definitely seen some on Lemmy but maybe it was on gonewild not AskLemmy?
That post is specifically discussing rules changes to the ask Lemmynsfw community, not the instance as a whole. This community is designed only to showcase users questions to the greater Lemmy, not for personals ads. There are plenty of spaces on Lemmy that allow personals(ignoring the fact that it’s a terrible medium for it), just not this specific community.
This is a question about Hookups, not a post asking for hookups.
Definitely not with that attitude sweety
I’ve made posts on hookup subs and communities a few times but they never resulted in anything. I’m not looking for one time hookups. I’m interested in a long term friendship with benefits. That typically takes more work.
I’ve had a lot of success over the years just taking to people in my orbit so legacy solutions like IRC, ICQ, BBSes, and things like Facebook Messenger (not to mention work email and chat services.) I develop friendships that turn into friendships with benefits.
So, I guess I’m not really interested in hookup culture so haven’t spent a lot of time on hookup sites. I prefer a relationship,.
I find a FBW thing very interesting. I can fuck a blowup doll any time, so what other reason would you want sex with a person for?
