Weekday evenings, roughly between eight and eleven. Activity around Fort Wayne 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.

Are there enough active members near Fort Wayne to make this worthwhile?

That depends far more on your radius and filters than on Fort Wayne 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.

Do I need to pay to send the first message in Fort Wayne?

On some platforms yes, on others no, and it is the single most useful thing to check before investing time. If a site covering Fort Wayne will not let you start a conversation without a card on file, treat that as information about how thin its local membership probably is.
