Taimi Expands Its Reach as an Up-and-Coming LGTBQ+ Dating Platform

The Short Version: With over 13 million users, Taimi fosters an active dating scene for the LGBTQ+ community. The app has smart features that can help users mingle one on one or in social groups, and many friendships and romances have sprung from its match list. In 2020, Taimi released video livestreaming features to allow LGBTQ+ singles to arrange socially distant meetups and dates from home.

In 2017, Alex Pasykov drew from his background in information technology to launch Taimi, which is now one of the largest LGBTQ+ social networks in the world.

The Taimi app’s mission is to unite people of all ages, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations.The team advocates for a culture of acceptance and love. Over the years, the Taimi network has inspired many meaningful relationships and gotten great reviews.

The Taimi app supports a culture of inclusion and acceptance.

Alex is a straight ally who is passionate about providing resources to support and empower LGBTQ+ singles from all walks of life.

“Allies are a crucial component when it comes to driving change forward,” Alex wrote to LGBTQ+ people and allies. “To me, being an ally just makes sense. But it’s more than words, it means that in your daily life you have to speak up for equality.”

Taimi is a well-rounded singles network that distinguishes itself from the average hookup app by offering more interest-based social groups and a frequently updated newsfeed. This allows people to express themselves and get to know new friends and potential partners.

Jake Vygnan, Taimi’s co-founder, said the coronavirus pandemic has created a need for online connections outside the dating landscape, and Taimi evolved to meet those needs.

“Just like all companies, we had to adapt, adjust, and change,” Jake said. “Our product became a full-fledged LGBTQ+ platform, which means Taimi featured both a social network and a dating app.”

Taimi fosters a diverse, popular, and open-minded space where anyone can jump into the conversation and see where it takes them. The app’s colorful layout includes a Digest section where users post ideas, opinions, photos, and stories, and a Finder section where singles can browse compatible profiles and send Chat Requests or Rainbow Likes.

The Taimi app is free to download, and users can access premium features by upgrading to the XL subscription.

As a new independent dating app, Taimi faces stiff competition in the online dating world, but its team has risen to the challenge and promoted community-driven features.

Verified Taimi users can search for matches.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Taimi’s online networking tools have become a popular alternative to socializing at bars, clubs, or house parties. The Taimi user base has doubled in size in the past six months, and it is on track to surpass 9 million registrations by the end of 2020.

What’s more, Taimi’s social groups have grown by over 60%, and its livestreaming videos have never been more popular.

“Communication is still key,” Jake said. “Actually, it’s more important than ever to be able to stay in touch despite isolation. People want to be connected — they want to chat, see each other, and feel involved.”

The Taimi team is constantly coming up with new features and projects to entertain, inform, and support its fast-growing audience of gay singles, bisexual singles, queer singles, and everyone in between.

Taimi has recently launched several initiatives to keep users feeling engaged and optimistic. Its streaming series Taimi Talks has featured LGBTQ+ celebrities and athletes who share their insights on important issues affecting the community. The topics of conversation range from health and fitness to dating advice, and new episodes stream on the app every weekend.

The #TaimiInfluencer program has further helped raise the dating app’s profile and spread the word about its services in the LGBTQ+ community.

The coronavirus pandemic effectively changed the way singles approached the dating scene and created high demand for video dating options. The Taimi team was quick to switch gears and prioritize video features in 2020. The app now offers video calls and video streaming for LGBTQ+ singles seeking socially distant dates and friends.

Taimi users can initiate a video call simply by clicking the Camera option in the chat window. Both users must be online for the call to go through. There are no time limits on video calls, and the videos will not be saved on the app.

A Live Duet gives users the opportunity to create a dynamic and engaging event.

The Live Duet feature has gotten a lot of traction among Taimi users under covid lockdown and stay-at-home orders. It provides an easy avenue to connect with a new friend or love interest by setting up a livestreaming event where members join via video.

“It’s swiftly gaining ground as the hottest feature on Taimi,” Jake told us. “Taimi is now known as a place where people can share content, follow each other, and be inspired.”

During the era of social distancing, many LGBTQ+ singles became more interested in chatting online than arranging in-person dates, and Taimi has adapted to accommodate them in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. The app can facilitate online relationships with its streamlined text and video chat features, and it can take the pressure off meeting new people.

Jake told us that Taimi users have been chatting longer and more frequently during the coronavirus pandemic, and the dating app doesn’t put a time limit or character limit on these conversations.

Taimi is the new dating app on the block, but it has already collected quite a few success stories and positive reviews from people in the LGBTQ+ community. The app currently has 4.4 stars in the App Store and 4.2 stars on Google Play.

“It works like a social media app with its Facebook-like scheme,” Dylan said in a five-star review. “I am very satisfied with it because I am finally able to find someone that I really like. We’ve been dating for more than a month now and recently became official.”

The Taimi team is passionate about helping LGBTQ+ singles.

“Thank you for creating a space where we can feel free,” Antonysm1997 said on Instagram. “Since I started using Taimi, I met wonderful people.”

“Taimi is the most useful app I’ve used. It helped me find the love of my life,” said Stem_Kayla in another glowing review. “I think everybody in the LGBT community should give this app a try.”

“I never expected to meet him, but after hours of silly conversations, late night phone calls, and time spent with someone I think is really amazing,” said a transgender man who lives in a conservative area and used Taimi to branch out. “I’ve got my first serious boyfriend in a healthy and non-toxic relationship. I’m so much happier and can’t stop smiling.”

Taimi can offer a beacon of hope for singles who feel alone, judged, or marginalized in the mainstream dating scene. The team’s mission is to bring more love into the world and fight against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia in society, and every new LGBTQ+ relationship is an important part of that journey.

“We want to make sure that people are treated fairly and equally. We want our users to have a safe place to connect,” Jake told us. “And we want to see a better world.”

Taimi made a big splash in the dating industry because of its sleek features and high-brow ideals, and its membership base has grown rapidly over the last few years. The online dating app offers something different from its more established swiping competitors. Taimi has gone outside the dating box and encouraged all types of relationships to flourish on its open-ended platform.

Millions of LGBTQ+ singles have joined Taimi to chat, date, and socialize with like-minded people — without feeling pressured to meet or hook up in real life. Taimi helps singles to stay in their comfort zone and stay true to themselves as they seek new connections.

Whether you’re searching for true love or a platonic friendship, Taimi reviews the potential matches and puts worthy folks within reach.

“It’s important to remember that, even if you don’t end up in a romantic relationship with the person you’ve connected with on Taimi, you may end up with a great friend,” Jake said.
