[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.

» 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]

• Improved Navigation Dropmenus, which now auto-opens upon Hovering.

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

• Friends Only and Friends/Groups now also have the "Comments in Feed" option.

• Show "Edited" date on edited Comments.

• More relevancy of the users we show you in various parts of SW.

• Don't show Blocked users in the Search Friends results when sending a gift, further improving relevancy.

I was wondering if there was any thoughts about a "thumbs down" or similar to go alongside the "Heart"
Andrew · Admin
@naturegirlUK We do have plans to develop a "Reactions" feature, yes.
Which will also include "Thumbs Down", "Happy", "Sad", etc...

It's one feature we are very interested in developing in the coming weeks or months.

@Andrew thank you for the amazingly fast response, I wish my Banks call center were as quick instead of "Please Hold your call is important too us"

@Andrew Thanks for all your great work but beware the “thumbs down” reaction feature. I spent many years at Answerbag which had down ratings and there was no end to the crap that rained down on admin by butthurt users who couldn’t stand their feelers being hurt. Cries of trolling and conspiracy theories on a regular basis. And so incredibly tiresome to see the whining on the boards.
Andrew · Admin
@LyricalOne Thanks for your feedback! We will definitely keep this in consideration.
