What's a good Android app for chatting with people nearby without getting spammed by fake profiles?

Lumi seems alright. Set up was quick, and I didn't get hit with a bunch of fake profiles, which is a win in my book. Had some decent conversations.

Look, I'm not gonna lie, I'm always skeptical of these 'meet new people' apps. Usually, it's a total waste of time, full of bots and people trying to sell you something. But I gave Lumi a shot, and I gotta say, it wasn't bad. The setup was quick and painless, which is always a plus. More importantly, I didn't get bombarded with spam or fake profiles right off the bat. Actually matched with a couple of people in my area and had some pretty decent conversations. It's not as crowded as some of the bigger apps out there, but honestly, that's kind of a good thing. Feels more laid back and real, if you know what I mean. Might be worth a shot if you're looking to connect with people nearby without all the usual BS.
