🛠️ Smart Feeds v2 Now Released ☀️ Secondary Custom Feed 🌓 Coming Soon 📢

We are happy to announce that our [b][u]Version 2 of SW Smart Feeds[/u] has now been released[/b] and is available to all users! 🙂

We believe that these recent improvements made, should allow users better control of their Default Home Feed.
In addition, each user should be able to accomplish their preferences more easily.

The variety of customizable options should benefit our user-base as a whole,
where each user can have some greater control over what is shown in their feeds,
rather than all users being subjected to one or two feed formats only [i](as it used to be - which may benefit some, but also inconvenience many)[/i].

🌓 [big]Secondary Customizable Feed Coming Soon[/big] 📢

We also intend to have a Secondary / Alternate Customizable Smart Feed, located next to the default Home Feed.

This will allow users to specify up to TWO highly customized Feed Layouts/Profiles, per their liking,
where they can easily switch between these two, Custom-defined Feeds, in just One Click!

We hope that these improvements to SW will provide a better experience to everyone. 👍

Thanks for the feedback and support.
Kind regards!
[i]- The SW Team[/i]

I just want a button on the homepage that allows me to view the posts of the people I follow, in chronological order, and another button which allows me to see posts from all users, in chronological order.

I don't wanna see "more" from the people I follow, I wanna see only them and then have the option of seeing everyone when I want to with the click of a button.

Coming to SW when we had the feed set to the people we're following was like entering a room full of friends, without having that option it's like entering a room full of strangers and trying to spot the odd friend here and there. It's not the same vibe.

The settings shown here, should provide what you are asking for:

You can already do this, for the most part, using the "New" Tab on the main feeds:

You can mostly already do this, with the current options we have made available.

Otherwise, when we release the "Secondary Customize Feed", you can also place custom settings saved for that feed, to your preference.

(Turning the "Other Users" slider to Maximum, all others to Minimum)

So you should be able to accomplish more or less all of what you are asking.

We understand.
Every user has different preferences.

For that reason, we are doing our best to accommodate all preferences as much as we can, by offering this variety of customization options.

@Andrew oh give me a break I got confused just reading half of that no wonder nobody likes or uses the site any more
If it wasn't so sad it would be funny

@TheGoodGuy yes that's what I want also
TheGoodGuy · M
@Andrew It works!! Thank you!! Finally I feel like everything is pretty much back to normal now. Muchos gracias 🤗
TheGoodGuy · M
@ExtremeNext Use the setting Andrew suggested and you can have your feed set to how it was before with just the people you follow.

@TheGoodGuy I want to see everything that's posted by everybody and then decide what I want to reply to and my friends posts also I have kind of given up to be honest I have lost interest in the changes and the site next week it will be something different again
TheGoodGuy · M
@ExtremeNext you can see all posts by everyone by clicking the "new" tab.
