How can I reach more participants for my PhD research?

Hi everyone,
I'm a PhD scholar based in India, currently conducting research related to online dating. My target participants are Indian individuals aged **24–45** who currently use or have previously used dating apps.
One of the biggest challenges I'm facing is reaching a sufficiently large and diverse sample. I've already shared my anonymous survey through LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp, and my personal network, but it's been difficult to reach beyond those circles.

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on where or how I could reach more eligible participants. If you've conducted survey-based research before, I'd really appreciate any advice or strategies that worked for you.
Thank you!
