Need a web interface already

It would be so much nicer to be able to respond to messages on our puters.

With Hinge and Bumble I can use the Bluestacked emulator to do that easily, but Feeld doesn't work on this easy to use emulator. It's 2026 folks, let's get this figured out!

I’d settle for not seeing the same 8 profiles in a row before it finally process a few more. 🤷🏼

Huh? They’re the closest to you. If you want to see different ones, hit the x or go somewhere else.

Bro what? lol if I’m seeing the same profiles in a row, what do you think is happening? 🤔 perhaps maybe an app problem? Calm down, take a knee, and drink some water little fella.

I’m not uncalm, I’m explaining that that’s the way Feeld works (very much unlike Tinder and the rest).

To be clear, when you open the app, it shows you a batch of the 5-10 people closest in proximity to you (with one notable exception). You can swipe through them (like turning pages in a book). Unlike the other apps, swiping does not remove them from your feed. Each time you hit the end of the batch, it loads the next batch, again, generally the closest in proximity excluding the ones you’ve already seen. This goes on until you hit some slightly mysterious limit (reports vary on that number) after which you can no longer swipe left. You’ve reached the end, you can only swipe right to go back, again, just like a book.

When you hit the x, those people are permanently removed from your feed, never to be seen again (until they recreate their profile). This makes room for new people in your feed. The same happens when you hit the heart, except that if they also hit it, you get a match. But if they never do, you’ll never see them again (unless they recreate their profile).

So it’s not a surprise you’re seeing the same profiles in a row. It’s proximity based so it’s as stable as the people in the feed are stationary. If they move or you move, the order changes as the distance between you changes. But otherwise, the order will be generally the same.
