I'd like to announce some new features released recently 👍
Hide Posts from Feed 👀
As requested by our users, sometimes there are posts we don't want to keep seeing in the Feed, so we provided you with an option to Hide that Post.
Press on the "Report/Flag" button located at the top-right corner of the post in the feed, and then select the option "Hide Post".
The post will no longer appear on the Feed.
If you are subscribed to the post, however, you may still get notifications. The post will continue to be accessible through the user's profile.
Share or Bookmark Posts 💾📡
We now provide two new buttons on the Posts:
1) Share Post
Share a link to the post in your favorite app. For example, if you want to easily send the link as a message to some friend.
2) Bookmark Post
Saves a link to the post in a private collection. You can have multiple collections created by you, with your favorite posts you saved for later. Only you have access to these collections.
You can access your Bookmarks here:
Social menu -> Bookmarks
https://similarworlds.com/bookmarks
You can also disable the Share and Bookmark buttons for all your posts, in your Privacy Settings.
Please Note: The 'Share Link' and 'Bookmark' buttons do not impact your privacy: - Private or Limited posts remain private/limited. - Sharing or Bookmarking a post does not create a copy of the body of your post. - If you ever delete a post, it will become inaccessible even if it was shared or saved in the past. - This is not different than someone manually copying the link or bookmarking in their browser. - Please note that no website can control whether someone copies the text or takes a screenshot of your post.

Thank you for your support and we hope you continue to stay with us.
We are constantly listening to your suggestions, so please keep giving them to us, as they are very important to the future of Similar Worlds.
UPDATE: For those who requested, it's now possible to Hide Post (and Comments) directly from the Post page. Just press the 🚩 Flag icon and the option will pop out. Thank you for your feedback.
Though a change or two in the past, may not be something I'd choose, I appreciate your dedication and best efforts, in all your hard work.
You certainly can't please all the people all the time, as interests are diverse, and I think people should appreciate how hard you and your team have worked, from EP, to our SW site. I don't feel other sites could ever match this, however, strictly as my own personal opinion, I feel simple design, is better design, and makes for much better navigation. Meaning, the easiest to understand and navigate, as I feel the more bells and whistles added, the greater the chance for site overkill and confusion. But...that's just me.
I have to be honest. There's only one change I do not like to this day, and never will, and WHY it was changed, I'll never know, because it was absolutely perfect the way it was. It didn't Need fixing. Now...I really hate it, I'm sorry. I find it an extremely irritating mess. That's why I truly even hate going to the questions section now, and can't get used to it. I used to enjoy it. Not anymore. I know many prefer all the glam and glimmer. Being old-fashioned, 😂🤣 yes, I admit it, but only as far as a couple things in life, I prefer what I call the "basic, clean, bare necessity format", in thinking of newcomers. Yet!! I can't deny you've done a great job. Thus, I sincerely thank you, as you have our best interest heart, and it shows.
I like the direction your going here. My own complaint is that it doesn't feel right to report a post when all one wants to do is hide it from their feed. But it's nice that it's an option.
@Nuno But you have to press the report button to get there. I'm generally reluctant to click anything labelled report or flag in case it has some immediately negative effect.
That’s awesome. Can we have two top comments? Sometimes we assign a BC and then after a while somebody else gives a better/more informative answer on that question; but reassigning BC sounds v rude.
SW-User
@Vivaci Just give BC to you lol on your posts!🤪 Just kidding Viva!😂
@Nuno hey administrator, when are the games and avatars and equipment/accessories coming out , these features have been mentioned in the coins section since the beginning of SW so why have y'all waited so long to include them , why have you been inventing new features when y'all have old features that were promised to us , I think that the games would be fun and bring people together more than any silly new hide post or down vote features personally I think the down vote feature will tear people apart and cause tension between people instead , a new feature should make people happy and want to stay and bring people together not cause tension between them and make them want to leave the sight because they are not satisfied with the new features , I know that not everyone will be ecstatic about all the new features but still why don't y'all give us the people of SW a chance to vote on new features instead of just creating them because someone mentioned it and it sounded good give us all the opportunity to at least have a say in whether the feature should be apart of our world or not.
@dirge When Biden's China-like Social Standing Scoring gets Implemented Then you'll be Judged according to Guidelines that Suggest What you should Like, Accept, Confirm & Adjust to ... Blocking Post that follow the Party Thinkspeech will be Detrimental!
Just now I noticed people starting to talk in a moths old post, which I don't like. Obviously I can't get the original post back in my feed. Does that mean I can't mute that post?
Awesome changes! I don't understand the first one though: Why would we need to hide a singular post from our feed, that we already saw? Wouldn't it be better if we could just hide all posts from some users (without completely blocking them)?
I also wanted to ask, about the post collections! Why not make it so we can choose to make them public? It would be really cool to be able to see other people's favorite posts! ☺️
@SW-User I logged on and saw the admins had added a new feature and you know how this place is. Put it this way - I could hear the angry queefing of SW before I even read what it was about.
@Lackwittyname When I click on the post to read it, I do not have that option. The only way I have those options is from my feed/home. I have to click on the flag from there without opening that post.
