When you dive into Terra Incognita, you’ll notice one thing right away—tags. A lot of tags. Sure, tags are nothing new in apps, but we’ve taken them to the next level. For us, tags aren’t just a tool—they’re a philosophy. They organize content, create connections, and help build a home and safe space. Think of them as a map: a way to set boundaries, share your interests, or express yourself without overthinking it. Ready to explore how they work? Let’s break it down step by step.

Let’s face it—figuring out what you want (and don’t want) is half the battle in finding the right connections. That’s where emotion tags come in. The better you understand your feelings, the easier it gets to navigate the world. We’ve created a Diary feature where you can reflect on your experiences—both in the app and with other people. Jot down how interactions made you feel, and our algorithms will take note. The more you use it, the better Terra Incognita will get at bringing you joy (and dodging the stuff that bums you out).

Interests are cool, but shared values? That’s where the magic happens. Meaningful tags help you connect with people who align with your worldview. Our team of psychologists and sociologists have identified nine relationship archetypes to guide you. Each archetype comes with its own set of four tags that sum up its “personality.” As you explore the app, these archetypes will play a big role. We’ll help you identify yours when you start, and as you grow and evolve, your archetype might shift too. It’s all part of the journey—discovering new sides of yourself while you’re here.

These are your go-to for: Fine-tuning your search to find like-minded people and potential matches. Sharing your vibe in a compact, no-fuss way. You’ll use search tags when filling out your profile, setting up Chat-Roulette filters, or posting on the Bulletin Board. They’re pulled from your profile by default, but you can tweak them anytime to suit your current mood or goal. Oh, and a heads-up: we limit the number of search tags you can use. Why? To make sure the ones you pick really stand out and do their job. Special shoutout to Kinks & Interests Tags here. They’re all about matching you with people who share your expectations, desires, and (yes) fetishes. No need for awkward guessing games.

At the end of the day, tags aren’t just a feature—they’re your toolkit. A way to express yourself, navigate connections, and create meaningful experiences. We hope our tagging system brings you moments of joy, clarity, and discovery. Welcome to Terra Incognita. Let’s tag this adventure together.
