Our review
★★★★☆ 3.5
Lex revives newspaper personal ads for the queer community: text posts first, photos second, in the lineage of the beloved @personals Instagram account. It has drifted toward friends, community and events as much as dating. Entirely free and proudly low-fi — the opposite of the swipe economy.
Pros
- Personality-first text format
- Free, no paywalls
- Strong trans and NB inclusion
Cons
- Small user base
- Dating intent is diffuse
- Sparse outside big queer hubs
