[c=#004A59][big]• "Show Less" from a user[/big][/c]

If you would like to [b]stop seeing comments[/b] in you home feed [u][b]from particular users only,[/b][/u]
instead of [b]Muting or Blocking[/b] those users, you can now use the "Show Less" option.

[u]How to find this option:[/u] [b]Click on the Flag/Report/Mute icon[/b] which appears in the user's Comment in the home feed - (We'll likely add this option in profiles very soon as well.)




[c=#004A59][big]• Hide your Comments from appearing in Feeds[/big][/c]

If you [b]don't want your post comments/replies appearing[/b] to others in the [b]home feed[/b], you can use this new privacy feature to prevent that.

https://similarworlds.com/settings-account
» Privacy Settings
» Allow other members to see your Comments (Latest Replies) in their feed


Please note that Recent Comments did always appear in the home feed even before the recent changes (on desktop version of the site), although not as prominent as they are now.

We understand that some may feel uneasy about their comments appearing in the home-feed, so we have made this feature to resolve this concern some may have.

Having your comments appear in the home feed increases the amount of activity/replies/hearts your comments get, as they will be more often seen by those who may be relevant to you.

[c=#004A59][big]Other recent improvements to Similar Worlds:[/big][/c]

• Further Dropmenu improvement to support visually impaired users and those who have difficulty with auto-opening menus.

@CallmeJenny69 Hello, please see this announcement: https://similarworlds.com/100-Admin-Announcements/1719485

@CallmeJenny69 Hello,

We do act 100% like an App on Androids, with Push Notifications and standalone usage (without having the browser around it).

Unfortunately, iPhones still don't support these modern technologies, but that should only impact the Push Notifications. You can still add Similar Worlds to the homescreen, and it will open without the browser around it.

See more in the post linked on the comment above.

@Nuno Sorry to say this Nuno but push notifications are nothing like an app. Personally I purposely have that turned off because it is not like an app. And yes I am on an Android mobile device. Compare push notifications against Facebook's or even lesser known apps and anyone can see the obvious differences.

@DeWayfarer Hello. Sorry, but your reply doesn't really help us understand what's your experience. I, personally, am very happy with the push notifications. If you are not, we want to hear your feedback, but please be more specific about how it is different. Thank you.

@Nuno Do the comparison. It's obvious. And list the multitude of differences.

An app will always be better just because of the browser's user interface is taking away the real estate. And that is just one of many.
