How to Find Creators Who Share Your Interests

Sharing an interest with a creator is a different match than simply liking their content style, it is about what they actually talk about in their bio and captions, hobbies, topics, specific things they mention posting around. Reading that detail directly on a profile is a more reliable way to find this kind of overlap than relying on a general content-style search on the MALOUM directory.

‍

Why This Is Different From Matching on Style Alone

Two profiles can have a similar visual style or tone while having completely different stated interests, and two very different-looking profiles can share a specific hobby or topic mentioned in their bio. If shared interests specifically matter to you, reading the actual text of a bio is more useful than judging from a thumbnail or general impression.

‍

Where to Look for This Detail

Bios are the most direct source. A creator who mentions a specific interest, a hobby, a topic they enjoy talking about, gives you something concrete to search on. From there, captions on recent posts often reinforce or expand on what is in the bio, giving a fuller picture of what a creator is actually interested in beyond their content style.

‍

Using One Match to Find Others

Once you find a profile that shares a specific interest with you, that becomes a useful search term for finding others. If a creator's bio mentions a particular hobby or topic, searching that same term is a reasonable way to find other profiles that mention something similar, rather than starting from a completely open search.

‍

A Realistic Expectation to Set

Not every profile will state its interests in detail, and some bios are quite brief. This approach works best as one method among a few, alongside browsing by content style or reading recent posts generally, rather than the only way to find a match. Combining a specific interest search with general browsing tends to produce better results than relying on one method alone.

‍

A Misconception Worth Addressing

It is easy to assume a profile's visual style tells you everything about what a creator is actually interested in. Style and stated interests are related but separate things. A profile that looks a certain way is not necessarily the one that shares your specific hobbies or interests, which is why reading the bio and captions directly matters more than judging from appearance alone.

FAQ

‍

How do I find creators who share a specific hobby or interest of mine?

Search for that specific interest or topic directly, then read through bios rather than judging by content style or thumbnail alone. Creators who mention a specific hobby or topic in their bio or captions are the clearest match. This takes a bit more reading than a general style-based search, but it is more accurate for this particular kind of match.

‍

Is content style the same thing as shared interests?

No, they are related but separate. A profile's visual style or tone tells you about presentation, while stated interests, hobbies, topics a creator actually talks about, are a different kind of match. Two profiles with a similar look can have very different stated interests, so it is worth checking both separately.

‍

What if a creator's bio doesn't mention any specific interests?

Not every profile states this in detail, which is normal. In that case, reading a handful of recent captions can sometimes reveal more than the bio alone. If neither gives a clear signal, this particular approach may not be the most useful method for that specific profile, and general browsing by content style is a reasonable alternative.

‍

Can I search directly for a specific interest or hobby?

Yes, using a specific term related to the interest or hobby you are looking for is a reasonable way to search. Results will vary depending on how many creators mention that particular topic directly, so it helps to try a few related terms if your first search does not return many results.

Finding creators who genuinely share your interests takes a bit more reading than matching on content style alone, bios and captions are where that detail actually shows up. Searching a specific topic and reading profiles directly on the directory tends to produce a more accurate match than browsing by appearance. For more on browsing the platform, see the MALOUM blog.
