Nope, not at all. There's zero urgency to reply within a minute - it just comes across as desperate and kills the vibe. Reply when you feel like it and have the time, like a few hours later is already solid, and it shows you've got a life outside the app. People who always reply too fast tend to end up getting ghosted because it gets annoying for the other person, who can tell they can keep you hooked easily.
The thing is to respond when you actually have something interesting to say, not just to avoid letting it hang. If you reply after two days with a message that's worth it, that's way better than sending a "haha yeah" within 30 seconds.
What matters is not watching the clock like your life depends on it - replying the same day or the next day is plenty! The thing people often forget is that a quick but bland or desperate reply does way more damage than a slightly later response with actual personality. Give yourself time to think about what you actually want to say, instead of forcing yourself to type something just so you don't look uninterested.
Personally, I think it's mostly about vibes - if you feel like chatting right now, go for it! But if you reply two days later because you were busy or just not in the mood, that's totally fine, it already filters out people who are too impatient!
