A good advice: start learning how to self host, specially a matrix instance.

How does that help me hook up on Grindr?

There's no fediverse replacement for Grindr yet? I'm honestly surprised.

There should at least be an OSS one though right? Like an OpenGrindr? Or a LibreGrindr?

We were looking into federated+floss MatchGroup alternatives last week, and didn't find much of anything.
Most compelling was that some people are using matrix spaces to facilitate dating/hookups, but I imagine those spaces have similar pitfalls to Discord "dating".
Something akin to OkCupid back when it was owned by Humor Rainbow would be pretty popular, imo.
