Polyamory (from Ancient Greek πολύς (polús) 'many', and Latin amor 'love') is the practice of, or desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved.[1][2] Some people who identify as polyamorous believe in consensual non-monogamy with a conscious management of jealousy and reject the view that sexual and relational exclusivity (monogamy) are prerequisite for deep, committed, long-term, loving relationships.[3] Others prefer to restrict their sexual activity to only members of the group, a closed polyamorous relationship that is usually referred to as polyfidelity.[4][5]

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

Various caveats apply, ymmv, etc. There is a significant overlap between Poly, and pagans, furries, kink, leather, gamers, programmers, queer folx in my experience. I suspect others could add more demographics to the list. I've found that going to pagan gatherings has been a good way for me to meet like minded people, which can evolve towards relationships of various sorts. I'm not much one for dating apps, I could tell you a few, short, unsuccess-filled experiences. But that's me, and I'm sure if I put some more energy into it, other results would accrue.
