Fediverse dating app? (kbin.social)

This is just a thought I had that I wanted to bounce off people who know more about ActivityPub/the fediverse— would it be feasible (and would it make sense) to build an open-source, ActivityPub-compatible dating app as an alternative to Tinder/Bumble/etc.? And if so, what could that look like? Obviously the small userbase would be an issue, but I feel like there's enough frustration with the mainstream apps that there'd be at least some migration if a good decentralized & non-commercial option existed. I know I'd use it. What do y'all think?

Thanks, I've seen Alovoa! Is it federated though? I couldn't find anything about that. I feel like having different instances you could join would add a lot, e.g. you could be on an instance for specific hobbies, identities, etc.

Yeah, it's another early development thing, and I don't think it's fully integrated yet with ActivityPub but last I heard that was the direction it was leaning but I have not kept up with it.
