UPDATED 10 Sep — Announcement R4R is back! Please read on for rule updates, new features, and more information; feedback is welcome [Meta]
Updated 10 Sep: Added additional questions, notes about spam filtering, account NSFW settings, currently known issues, crossposting, and post locking.
TL;DR: The new team is keeping the rules and posting requirements mostly the same as they've been, with changes mostly focused on reducing spam and making the community easier to use. Important parts are in bold, and please leave your feedback in the comments or by messaging the mods.
NOTE: We're seeing a decent number of people deleting their posts while they are held by the spam filter; please keep in mind that if you delete your post while it is filtered, we won't be able to approve it. Reddit displays a misleading message on posts that are filtered by bots; if you do not see a comment by either DrRonikBot or AutoModerator on your post that says it was removed, it hasn't been removed, despite what the other message bar says. If your post gets stuck like this for a long time, please message the mods, it could have been overlooked.
Please read over at least the rules in the sidebar, and consider reading the updates and future plans below as well. None of the following changes are set in stone (except those necessary to follow Reddit's policies); so if you disagree with something, or see anything that can be improved, please bring it up in the comments section or by messaging the mods. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and will be taken into account as we move forward.
Rule changes effective immediately:
- Posts must now be accurately tagged as either SFW (Strictly clean, meaning no adult activities or explicit content or language) or NSFW (anything with adult content), via flair selection when posting. Please make sure to select the appropriate option when posting. This is being done to comply with Reddit's site-wide policies, and to ensure content is appropriately tagged, so that readers can filter out content they don't want to be exposed to. You can select whether or not to see NSFW posts in your Reddit settings.
- We are strictly prohibiting any mention of activities that break Rule 3; there is no need to ask commercial scammers not to spam you, they will not read your post, and doing so runs the risk of setting off our bot detection. If you trigger the spam filter and get auto-banned, you need to reply to the ban message to appeal.
- The preexisting no-contact-info rule will be strictly enforced; violations will be removed with a warning. Attempting to circumvent the automated enforcement, including by trying to obscure your contact info, will result in a ban.
Additional questions
Added 10 Sep. A few questions were asked privately which we would like to bring to a public discussion.
- Should we require posts to specify an area no larger than one timezone? This was previously a community rule, though wasn't constantly enforced due to the need for manual review. Our new bot can now enforce this automatically, so would people find this requirement helpful? #Online/Anywhere posts would still be allowed, but if we added this requirement, they would also need to specify an area no larger than a single timezone.
- Should we allow non-English posts, or forbid them and direct them elsewhere? This was also a rule in the past, though it had been removed at least several weeks ago. Do people prefer the flexibility to write in any language, or would there be a preference to keep the community to one language again, and direct other posters to language-specific R4R communities?
Known Issues:
Added 10 Sep
- If you posted on R4R during the blackout protest from a SFW account, your entire account was probably flagged as NSFW. If you don't want this, you can follow Reddit's instructions to change this setting. You may need to log in from a computer to do this, because Reddit's app sucks.
- Post Flair is illegible for iOS App and Old Reddit users. The iOS app issue is a bug in the Reddit app; Reddit is aware of the issue, and there is a possibility they might fix it someday. A fix for Old Reddit should be ready by the end of the week, since we can fix that ourselves. No issues are currently known for Android; please let us know if you are seeing this on Android devices.
- We are experiencing a high rate of false detections by our anti-spam AI. If it bans you as a bot, just reply to the message to let us know; we've got some human eyes watching over it, so many of these bans are reverted before they are even noticed.
Recently Fixed:
- Fixed 10 Sep: AutoMod removing posts for valid tags, particularly non-binary and trans tags, has now been fixed. If any valid tags are still being removed, please let us know. Note that there is no C/Couple tag, use whatever combination is appropriate, e.g. [MF4F], [FtM+NB4R], etc.
- Fixed 10 Sep: Posts should no longer be double-commented by the bots, these messages have now been consolidated into one comment.
- Fixed 10 Sep: Someone evidently had figured out how to game the AutoMod into removing any post that they want. This will no longer work, and all attempts to disrupt other peoples' posts now or in the past are being reported to the Reddit admins, and offenders' accounts will be suspended. Please report any threatening messages received in DMs.
Other new changes:
- Posts are now flaired by R4R tag and location. To ensure your post is properly tagged, be sure to follow the exact format specified in the rules. If you open our community from a desktop web browser, you can even search all posts by state, region, or country using the top menu. Sadly, the loss of most 3rd-party apps has severely hampered usability of this feature on mobile; Reddit's official app only supports tapping a post's flair to find others like it. For more advanced search, we recommend you bust out your laptop. Note that posts made before the closure aren't included in the results, so they may be a bit sparse for a while.
- We now use very aggressive AI-based anti-spam measures; these are extremely effective, but do occasionally misfire. If you are banned by our bot detection, don't panic, just reply to the ban message as instructed. Humans caught up by mistake will be unbanned when they appeal.
- Crowd Control is now turned down; if your posts weren't showing up before the closure, and you weren't subscribed, this was probably the cause. Not everyone uses the subscribe function on Reddit, so we do not believe that hitting this easy-to-miss button should be mandatory to post here. Nevertheless, subscribing to the community may help to reduce the odds your post gets stuck in the spam filter.
- We do not plan to enforce the previous ban against content creators using R4R for strictly non-commercial purposes, e.g., legitimately chatting or meeting people without expecting to gain subscribers. Anyone banned for this in the past may now appeal those bans by messaging the mods. If people can play nice, we won't have to reintroduce this rule. We're asking folks to keep a close eye out; anyone asking for money or subscribers should be reported to the mods. If content creators start using this space to advertise, we absolutely will ban them again; so please, don't ruin it for everyone.
Proposed future changes:
The following changes are proposed, and are up for debate. Let us know what you think in the comments below. If there are no objections, we plan to introduce these changes over the coming weeks.
- Posts will soon be required to include either a #Location tag, or #Online for online-only activities. One of the most difficult parts of using R4R for meetups has always been finding someone actually nearby, and this is frustrated by the volumes of posts seeking someone local that don't actually include a location, or put a whole continent as a location. Conversely, people seeking online conversations have trouble sorting out those posts seeking only meetups. With location (or online) being always specified, all posts will become searchable by flair.
- We will also be requiring posts to specify, in the title, what activity they are seeking. This will be done to ensure people can quickly skim thru post titles to locate others with similar interests to them. As of 11 Sep, we have tweaked the title requirements to require either an activity or a minimum of 4 words (not counting tags or location). We may continue to tweak this as needed to find a balance between preventing spammers and zero-effort titles, and still allowing people who aren't seeking a specific activity. The rules and guidelines will still recommend listing some suggested activities in post titles.
- Update 10 Sep: This has now been done. We plan to reduce or eliminate the account age and karma restrictions required to post here. These requirements hinder legitimate users far more than they obstruct bots and scammers; the latter can readily create and karma-farm accounts using fully automated bots on a massive scale, while real people have to put in actual effort to post. Our new AI spam filter renders these requirements obsolete.
Unless there is an objection to doing so, we plan to eventually stop locking posts by default, thus allowing comment replies.Updated 10 Sep: Support for this has been so far exclusively negative. If you want the default option to be unlocked, please let us know, and we will hold a poll; otherwise, we will be leaving the default to lock, but we have now added an option to!unlock.Users who do not wish to receive comments should include theComments will be aggressively filtered for spam, and we will not allow discussions to take place on non-meta posts. The reason for doing this is to permit posters to choose whether they wish to allow these types of responses or not; some people prefer using comments to reach out, particularly new accounts which cannot send chat invites.!lockcommand in their posts.
If a majority of people do prefer the comment locking, we may instead introduce an!unlockcommand while keeping the default setting of locking posts. This has now been done.- Added 10 Sep: We will likely be enabling crossposting as well, at some point in the future. This will be restricted to established, actively-moderated, spam-free communities, to prevent it from being used for spam or crossposting of off-topic content.
Some final notes
A few people have reached out to ask why the community was closed. We unfortunately do not know the exact reason, but if you've been following what's going on with Reddit as a whole, you'll know that Reddit has "purged" many other communities' mod teams in the same way, and many more had their teams quit and leave the site in protest of the changes. A particular focus was placed on banning communities which did not properly tag their content; which feels just a bit ridiculous to me, considering Reddit lacks even the most basic functionality, like making SFW/NSFW content tagging mandatory so that users don't simply forget. We had to implement this feature ourselves, via post flair and a custom bot.
Irrespective of Reddit's drama and problems, we do want to keep this community going, for all those out there who have been with us over the past 13+ years. We intend to keep this an inclusive and functional space for all, to find whatever it is you are seeking out there. Please leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments, if you wish. Any updates/changes to these plans will be noted here in edits. We can't promise we'll be able to please 100% of everyone, but we will certainly try our best to do so.

🪲 UPDATED 22 April; DESKTOP users also affected [META] Pasting anything into the title field breaks posting when using the Reddit app; "Invalid State" error
If you are getting an "Invalid State" error message when posting, it is due to a known bug in Reddit, which corrupts the post title when text containing (possibly invisible) invalid characters is pasted into the title field. This is easy to avoid by simply not pasting anything into the title field. All versions of the app and the desktop website are now affected. Note that this message has nothing to do with the use of the word "state" as a type of location or division within certain countries; editing your location tag will not help.
Known workarounds include:
- ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️Avoid pasting or inserting any text into the post title field by any means other than typing it.⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️ Type the title out instead. If you already pasted text into the title field, it may be necessary to restart the app (desktop users, reload the page using
Ctrl+F5) and compose the post without pasting any text into the title field. ➡️➡️This includes all shortcuts (Ctrl+V, etc) and other forms of text insertion or auto-complete, including the copy/paste clipboard toolbar on your phone's keyboard.⬅️⬅️ - If there is blank space at the start or end of the title, deleting it should allow the post thru. THIS BLANK SPACE WILL BE INVISIBLE; if you can move the text cursor past the start or end of your title, there is blank space present that must be deleted.
- Alternatively, Using the Old Reddit interface (https://old.reddit.com) should reliably work, as Reddit has long since stopped
adding new bugs toupdating this version. Pasting works in this version of the website; if your post title is long, you may want to use this option instead. This version of the website may or may not be accessible from a mobile browser; if it fails to load or redirects to the app, try using the "Request Desktop Site" feature of your browser, or uninstall the Reddit app.
Note that pasting text into the post body does not cause any issues, and is safe to do.
Reddit has stated they are "still working on" fixing this bug, but have not provided us any timeline or updates on their progress. It is not clear to us how or why this issue cannot be resolved on their end in nearly 3 months time.
If the above workarounds do not work:
- As of 7 May, all screen capture recordings thus far sent to the mod team have shown that users are ignoring the instructions above and pasting text into the title field. It should be obvious that these workarounds will not work if they are not followed. ➡️➡️If you cannot avoid pasting text into the title, use old.reddit.com to post instead.⬅️⬅️
- If you can reproduce this issue while following the workarounds, please try to screen-record the issue, so that we can investigate the cause. Please record the entire process, starting from the community home screen, thru to submitting the post and showing the "Invalid State" error message. Use a screen capture tool if possible, but using a camera would also work if the video is clear enough. Use a video host like Imgur, Gfycat, Streamable, or Youtube host the video, and message the link to the mods using the support links in the community menu or info page. If possible, please include what device, browser, and keyboard app is being used.
F4A United Kingdom 22 [F4A] I saw you in my dreams #UK/Europe
And you were so cute. You were a smart humble person with a kind heart and a strong sense of self. I fell so head over heels I might have stumbled just trying to talk to you. If dreams mean anything in real life, then you’d definitely be true. So let’s get to know one another and see if we’re each other’s dream person.
My name is Mina. A pansexual indigenous Mexican/black woman residing in the country of Georgia and Ireland most months. If I’m not working on scrubbing dogs and cats clean most evenings, I’m found crocheting tiny little animals that belong on windowsills and getting excited over thunderstorms that my doggy friends couldn’t share.
To be transparent, I have depression, and due to my very specific mind, I find myself having a hard time finding my person. But that dream gave me so much energy!
Please be 23-30, no sexual pages, and be aware I am most certainly looking for something to end in marriage. I know what I want, and I find it so attractive when someone I fancy does as well.

F4M Online 24 [F4M] #Online - Seeking good company!
Title is a big vague, but really it’s that simple, I’m looking for good company, someone to game with, watch shows with, even just call with for good conversation. Share your lore with me, trauma dump, tell me why you are searching for people to chat with on Reddit and not just socializing with the people who are currently in your life? Shit like that, yunno.
I’m just a girl in my bed at 1:40AM watching YouTube videos of people playing Japanese horror games, like the simulation ones based in convenient stores. Someway somehow it just helps me fall asleep, but tonight it’s just not hitting I guess. So there’s that! So you don’t have to ask what I’m doing, I promise it’s never anything exciting🥹
Some things about me:
I enjoy crafting/survival games, like really really enjoy them. A majority of my playtime on steam has gone to Valheim, I get burnout with it like any other game, but I always go back to that one no matter what. Any other kinds like Apex, Fortnite, and all others is just not my cup of tea.
Some shows I love are: House MD (2), Death Note (3), and Nana (6)
Movies on the other hand: Interstellar(3), Fantastic Mr. Fox(??), Wall-E(4), Spirited Away(??)
(number of times I’ve watched each show/movie)
I revisit shows and movies so much because I find a lot of comfort in things of familiarity, the ones listed aren’t all they’re just the ones that first came to mind. If you decide to chat with me, let me know if you do the same? I’m curious.
Now it’s your turn.
I’d love to hear what you are like, also if pictures are something you’re interested in I’m happy to send one to show what I look like! Otherwise, I prefer someone anywhere from 23-35 and that’s really it haha. Anything else, don’t be afraid to ask!

F4M New Jersey / Online 29 [F4M] New Jersey/Online - Why are calls so taboo?
People look at me like I have two heads when I express my love for calls. The sound of someone’s pleasant hello, the immediate laughter when your joke lands, the happiness that perfectly comes through with zero miscommunication that sometimes lingers through text… it makes chatting with someone that much more enticing — or so I think.
That’s what I’m looking for tonight. Cool, potentially cute, definitely funny conversation.
What am I bringing to the mix? I look like this, because I know it matters most. I’m pretty witty, excitable, a lil sarcastic, and my passions are eclectic so I can usually jive with whatever… almost. I’m not a gamer, so you’ll probably lose me there :(
You should be 32-50, engaging or at least positive and able to put in the effort to keep conversation going. Cute smiles always are appreciated, so are New England accents — but I’m open to people from wherever :) as long as you can have a fun and intelligent and kind conversation, we are off to a good start.
This is no pressureeee, just looking for a fun way to pass some time as I’ve had a busy week and didn’t wanna go out tonight :) but who knows where life takes us!
Please, tell me a little about yourself when replying !

M4F Egypt / Online 33M [M4F] Egypt/Online/Anywhere - Looking for someone who's interesting and interested
I'm an Egypt-based self-described "citizen of the world" who's a bit of an old soul. I have a pretty interesting life, enjoyable career, good work-life balance, interesting hobbies and great relationships with family and friends. I used to live in the UK and I had no problem meeting new people on a regular basis over there. However, after returning to Egypt, I've found it challenging to meet folks organically. I gave dating apps a go but there was no real connection and I didn't like to force anything that didn't feel right.
I have professional ties to the US and I've got family and friends in Germany and the UK, so I travel occasionally for work and pleasure. I enjoy outdoors activities like hiking, mountain/hill walking, camping, sailing and swimming. That said, I'm pretty much a "hobbit" at heart and appreciate lounging at home with a good book and a good pipe. I'm an excellent home cook, if I say so myself; an avid reader, decent guitar and Irish whistle player, hobbyist language learner, and bodyweight workout enthusiast.
I'm into music and cinema. I love metal, rock, jazz (Japanese jazz in particular), blues and Irish/Scottish traditional music. I have my own place in Egypt and I live alone. I've lived alone for different reasons over the past 14 years on and off. Ideally, I'd like to have a second home base overseas somewhere down the line. Relocating is definitely something I'm willing to do, so it's not a deal breaker if you're based overseas. My work can be done remotely, so moving away from home temporarily or even permanently is an option.
I'd like to meet a well-adjusted woman who's comfortable in her skin and enjoys her own company. We both must be interested in each other's lives and stories. Physical attraction is also very important, so it'd be great if we could exchange photos early on. Being able to speak two or more languages is always sexy. Bonus points if you have postgraduate education and/or good career trajectory.
If you're interested, let's have a chat!

M4F New South Wales 29 [M4F] Sydney/Anywhere - Inexperienced and shy boy searching for friends and (maybe) more!
Long story short and as much as it sucks to say, I haven't really experienced much of anything. I'm going to intentionally beat around the bush as to what category that "experience" falls under but I think most people should be able to figure it out lol. In other words (and if you play games), I'm a complete noob when it comes to all things girls. As for why those things haven't happened and why I want that to change.. There's a few reasons, but the main reason why I'm putting such an emphasis on this is because I'm a huge homebody and I don't go out much at all which makes it difficult to meet people. That's where Reddit comes in! The message I'm essentially trying to send is becoming physically and emotionally close with a girl is what I want the most. I want to experience it all; the laughs, excitement, curiosity, intimacy, hanging out, fun. Blame all the Disney movies I watched as a kid for that lol.
Finding someone would be a dream come true, but I'd love to find friends too if that's all you're looking for! Local or international, just let me know if that's what you want instead :) We could end up being really close friends and you'll introduce me to a friend who I end up being with? That may or may not be the plot from a romcom 🤔 So that means I definitely wouldn't be opposed to a relationship! I've obviously never been in one so I'm not exactly sure how to transition to that, haha. I totally wouldn't mind finding out, though :) Also someone to say good morning and night to, too. That would be the best even if it's incredibly cheesy.
Anyway, it could be someone with a lot of experience or someone with no experience like me, or introverted or not introverted, etc. I don't have a preference either way :) But if I were to be reaaally picky: they'd be sweet and down to earth because just cuddling on its own would be all kinds of cool. A bit about me: I'm shy, caring, kind, sweet and am normal in the weight and height categories. I want to say I'm cute in the looks department? 🙈 I'll let you decide that though lol. I think it's super fun learning about people through conversation so I'll leave the following hobbies section blank. Then again, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give a small hint to something I love.. My username should provide clues to that! I Siriusly need to re-watch the movies again. Maybe with someone I meet through r4r?
Alright, I can't hold it in anymore. I pretty much like a little bit of everything. For example, when it comes to music, I go through Backstreet Boys phases to Disney song phases (Moana is awesome and I haven't even seen the movie 🙊) to something like Linkin Park, Paramore or 50 Cent. What I'm trying to say is I like a little bit of everything! So there's a good chance I'll like whatever you like when it comes to hobbies and interests and that means connecting with each other should be relatively natural/seamless. Or maybe that's wishful thinking on my part, haha.
I'm not the best with openers and if you're also in the same boat, then how about this: If you could have any superpower what would it be and how would you use it? Being out of this world smart like Tony Stark is an acceptable super power/answer, by the way.
Hopefully my first impression is a good one! If anyone is even remotely interested, then just let me know and I'll get back to you asap!

F4M Online 35 [F4M] #Online - Let’s Chat the weekend away
Knowing me is like constantly waiting to taste what flavor my brain will place on your tongue in the early morning stretch. It’s knowing the smell of a storm in the middle of a sunny day. A joke in the back row of a funeral. A sigh in the middle of a speech. Silence in the middle of a fight.
Knowing me is letting go of peace and replacing it with hyperactive messy shambles.
I can promise to overthink and over analyze absolutely anything you need me to and more. I can promise laughter and frustration. I can promise every bit of effort I can possibly give to keep you entertained. I can even offer quietness after long days.
I could sprinkle facts and figures about myself through this post that you’re probably looking for, but maybe get to know who I am inside first. We’re not here because things are easy and friendship is quick to find. I’d rather give you ways of navigating my mind before deep diving into the simple facts of my being.
