What are your best SW hacks?

I log back in to see how my old SW friends are doing once or twice a year. Sometimes I connect and stick around for a bit. Other times I drift away more quickly. Do you have anything you do that helps you stay engaged and connected here? Maybe something about how you set up your feed? Or anything else? I would love whatever tips you might have.

Don't take much of the banter seriously
Do what helps you have a more pleasant time; if that means blocking a harasser, then do so.
You get to choose whom you engage with, and nobody has an automatic right to you.
I take short breaks from time to time.
On EP, I was once known for disengaging and coming back, but finally realized this didn't solve very much, and I missed the interaction here.

I’m an old school EPer who just jumped back into the ring a few days ago. I’m still trying to get the lay of the land myself. I’ll be interested to see what those who’ve been here longer in recent years say.

@BamPow I feel like it was easier to engage on EP. I sure miss that site. It literally changed my life.

@ShadowSister The original EP (before the redesign) was more focused on the experiences, and it was easier to connect based on interests or find people going through similar experiences as yourself. Plus, there were just more people and activity on that site to engage with. I think the redesign of EP really destroyed most of that. It seems you can find some of that here, but you just have to dig for it.

I will add that the most interaction I’ve gotten on my posts are a couple I’ve made about food. People might disagree on a lot of subjects, but I think the consensus here is that food is awesome.

Very, very old post that basically still works with some minor exceptions like length of the shortcut and names of the formatting options.

Probably should redo that post because the formatting options have changed a bit. As well has Gboard itself changed.

I still frequently use some of those shortcuts unmodified.

Its the subjects that I enjoy the chat with.
I find people who enjoy the same thing

ShadowSister · 51-55, F

@Midlifemale What kinds of things do you enjoy that you connect with?

My tip to you is be real, be yourself...

I correspond here with a few people and I also enjoy some of the word games, so those keep me here

Messages between certain people keep me sane.

It's because of the algorithm
