Secondary Feed & Presets 💫

Hi Similar Worlds 🏄‍♂️ 🥘

We've just released:

1) Secondary Feed

2) Presets for Customize Feed

--

[big]Secondary Feed[/big]

You can create a secondary feed by pressing "+ Add Secondary Feed" in the Customize Feed settings:


If you do that, you can select the configurations for each of the feeds:


You can also give names to your secondary Feed:


Once saved, you can switch between both feeds on your homepage:



[big]Presets[/big]

There are a number of desired configurations that are very popular, so we thought it would be easier to just have those as "Presets", so you can simply select by pressing one button:


Don't forget to Save!


--

[b]Tip:[/b] This "Customize Feed" can be found by opening the sidebar:


And then press the "Customize Feed" button:

Thank you for your support.

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.

Very kind regards, 🧡

Welp. For those still pining for the original chronological order, I finally got an answer:

@Nadie In other words, they aren't interested in catering to a whole host of people here.
@PirateMonkeyCabinet but ‘they listen to us’
maturedragon · 26-30, M
@TryingtoLava I think they have what you call 'selective hearing' maybe
PirateMonkeyCabinet · 36-40, M
@TryingtoLava Our feedback is important so long as it isn't "your pet project is undesirable to me", and so long as it is primarily praise.

Seriously, have seen at least one of them in other posts a little while back joining in with comments implying that those who didn't like the change introduced back then are just negative people.

As explained before, "Max Chronological" is pretty near "100% Chronological" in mostly all cases.


As I discussed with another user recently, who was [b]having a problem with Max Chronological overriding other preferences[/b]:

[quote]Because turning the Sorting to [b][u]Max Chronological[/u] (lowest level), is [u]very strong[/u], and [u]overrides[/u] the other sorting factors[/b] (such as "Prioritize Following) to a large degree.[/quote]


Because "Max Chronological" is "so strong" (near 100%), it tends to override ALL other sorting preferences,
such as: Trying to sort by Chronological, but giving a "Boost" to your "Friends-Only".

The reason why Max Chronological is "Near 100% strength", but not "Exactly 100%",
is to allow for these variable cases.


Once you don't have other slider values on "Max",
yet you have Chronological on its strongest value (Sort slider moved furthest left),

then you should almost Never see anything but purely chronologically sorted posts in your feed
(apart from those posts you viewed already in feeds lots of times, which causes them to be pushed down in ordering).

If this were a paper you'd get an F for saying the same thing a hundred times just to hit your word minimum.

@Nadie the settings do have their purpose when you want to filter the feed, I guess, but it seems many would appreciate a button to get a purely chronological feed. That would be the best of both (similar) worlds

Ok.
As long as the response gives an explanation to the issue you raised, that's what's important.
