Sniffies shows popular meeting places on the map. This page explains how those listings work and how to think about them responsibly.
What the listings are
Popular places are user-associated locations that appear on the map. Their descriptions changed in mid-2026, when live public message boards were replaced by AI-generated summaries.
Why users reacted
Many long-time users felt the live boards were a community feature, and the change drew criticism in the LGBTQ+ press.
Safety first: verify people before meeting, meet somewhere public first, tell a friend your plans, and never send money or verification codes. Read the full safety guide.
Respect the law and others
Laws on public conduct vary widely by location. Prioritize private, consenting, adult settings and respect people who aren't part of the scene.
Safety first
Go with your phone charged, tell a friend where you'll be, and leave if anything feels wrong.
