In the time i've been posting here the regional platforms have moved the useful bits behind a subscription, and nobody warns you about it. My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then read the last few pages of a thread before asking, though it depends heavily on where you live. Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to say what you actually want up front: it filters out the time wasters fast. What surprised me was that the distance radius matters slightly more than the moderation queue, which changes the whole experience.

Going by my own attempts, if you have limited time in the evenings the answer is usually to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them rather than avoid opening with a compliment. My advice would be to keep the first message short and specific and then check the free tier limits before you commit, but it is not the disaster people claim. The block list changed considerably in the past six months, which is worth knowing before you sign up. Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to read the last few pages of a thread before asking: the alternative is a dead inbox.
