Is Lymion a dating app?

It can be, but it doesn't have to be. Lymion's Rencontre mode is a subscription dating mode, similar in spirit to a traditional dating app.

Outside of Rencontre, Social and Influence modes have nothing to do with dating. They're about messaging and creator payments, not matching.

Someone can use Lymion purely for the Influence side (getting paid to reply to DMs) without ever touching the dating mode.

The three modes share one account but function independently of each other.
