Post Collections, Linked Accounts & a lot more! 🎉

🥂🍾 Happy New Year, Similar Worlds! 🎆✨🎊

It's been a while since our last announcement, but we'd like to give you an update of what we've been releasing in the past few months.


[big]Post Collections 📒[/big]

With Collections, you can organize your posts into sections, series, favorites, topics, indexes, etc... This is your area.
Anyone who can access your profile will also be able to view your collections, but they can only see the posts they have access to, based on each post's privacy setting.

Your collections appear above the posts in your profile:


If you haven't set up your first Collection yet, you can go on your profile, scroll down to any post, and press "Add to Collection" on the bottom-right corner of that post.



[big]Linked Accounts 👥[/big]

Users are usually allowed to have more than one account, as long as none of the accounts cause conflicts with other users.

If you have more than one account, you can link them to make it easier to switch between them, without having to Log Out and Log In every time.

To Link or Switch accounts, you can open the Header menu and then select "Linked Accounts":


You can unlink accounts at any time.


[big]Suggested Posts 📑[/big]

We have added some Suggested Posts at the bottom of some pages, like Posts and Groups.

This will make it easier for users to find related posts and older posts to get a bit more exposure (= views/comments).


[big]Translate & Feed Language Preference 🌍[/big]

You can now Translate posts and comments between English and Spanish, and there is a new option in the Feed to give preference to either language.

This is still experimental. It might change in the future and we might add support for more languages.


[big]Recent Gifts 🎁[/big]

To make it easier to find new Gifts that have been added to the Gift Store, we have added a new section that shows Recently Added Gifts. You can find it in the first tab:


Keep an eye in it!


[big]Recent Searches 🔎[/big]

Your recently searched terms will appear to you when you open the Search dropdown.

You can remove them at any time:



[big]New Sign Up & Log In interface, and updates to the Front Page 🚀[/big]

We have greatly improved our Sign Up & Log In flow.

This should resolve some of the issues many users (or potential users) were finding with the interface.

We've also added the menu to the SW header bar, to make it consistent with the rest of the site and easier to navigate.

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, 🧡
