Are there enough active members near Shymkent to make this worthwhile?

That depends far more on your radius and filters than on Shymkent itself. Before concluding the area is empty, widen the distance setting, loosen the age band by a few years, and check whether the platform is showing you recent logins rather than dormant accounts.

How far should I set my search radius around Shymkent?

Wider than feels natural. Most people searching in Shymkent start at ten or fifteen miles and see very little. Pushing that out to thirty or forty typically multiplies the number of active profiles without meaningfully changing how far anyone is willing to travel for a first meeting.

What is the best time to be active on dating sites in Shymkent?

Weekday evenings, roughly between eight and eleven. Activity around Shymkent is noticeably lower on weekend afternoons than most people assume. Messages sent midweek tend to get replies faster simply because fewer people are competing for attention.
