How do I get my name out there?

If this is the 897840129875th post asking how to start dating gay guys then I'm sorry - I'll delete the thread (or ask someone to delete it) and go to the relevant threads. Nonetheless, I'm a bi guy looking into how to get into the gay dating scene. A gay friend of mine said Tinder was a good place to start, but until I get back home (I'm at college rn) to get some friends' help taking pictures, what has helped you guys get into dating? I'm a fairly reclusive person, so I know for sure that's step one. What're some tips? Thank you all :)
