We noticed that "matchmaker" is the term used for a marriage broker, or remind people of dating, which is (usually :P) not what we're going for here.

Do you have other name suggestions for a bot that connects you randomly to other fedi accounts that follow the bot, with the goal of having a chat and get to know each other better?

We think we'll be ready for a trial run pretty soon! So we have another question:

Imagine the bot would initially match you once per week. At which time should the bot ideally send out the DMs that you've been matched with another person?

Which downsides/upsides would these different times have for you?

(These might be other times of day for you if you're not in a European timezone.)

We're ready for beta testing! yayblob

Turns out that the basic functionality for the Fedi Matchmaker bot didn't take a lot of code to implement.

We're now looking for ~10 beta testers, to gather feedback and prioritize the remaining features!

The bot will match you with another participant every Friday evening. The idea is that you then schedule a call or a chat, and get to know each other a bit!

Send us a DM if you want to be a beta tester! You may drop out any time.
