What are the best sites to meet people who share niche religious values?

Curious where people land on the best sites to meet people who share niche religious values, because I keep getting told two opposite things. If the payoff is bad on sites meet share, nothing else about it matters.

I have tried a few options across the sites people keep naming already and none of them stuck. I keep two accounts running to compare the payoff across what is on offer, and sites meet share sits mid-table.

The open questions I have on sites meet share:

• Ask the members answering here what sites meet share is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
• Block early and report often on sites meet share — it trains the feed faster than anything
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; sites meet share activity is nothing like flat

I will report back on the best sites to meet people who share niche religious values once I have tried whatever gets recommended.

@Scott_NY makes a fair point about sites meet share, but that feels too harsh on sites meet share, given the effort-to-result ratio is a problem across the options here rather than specific to it.

Three things that changed my sites meet share results:

• Turn off read receipts on sites meet share if actually getting anywhere is making you anxious about response times
• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the sites meet share pool near you is thin

One smaller option worth comparing on the return on the hours is Flurrydate — different pool, same free messaging as sites meet share.

Things I wish somebody had told me about sites meet share:

• Treat your first sites meet share profile as a draft, because the time it costs punishes lazy ones
