• Speaking personally, the boost system is the thing that decides it, though the swipe-based apps rarely say so
• The matching algorithm changed considerably since the last round of app updates, which is worth knowing before you sign up

• Though people disagree here, the step that matters most is to give it a full week before judging: the difference in reply rate is obvious
• Going by my own attempts, the moderation queue is the thing that decides it, even if the bigger platforms rarely say so

Going by my own attempts, the discovery feed is the thing that decides it, though the chat-first sites rarely say so. The block list and the age check pull in opposite directions, though it depends heavily on where you live.
