Post Drafts & Group Suggestions (based on what you Type) 🏅
Hey Similar Worlds 🌍🗺️,
Based on your user feedback indicating that selecting a Group for a Post can be a tedious process for some, we have finally released some improvements.
[big]Group Suggestions (based on what you Type) 📝[/big]
The system will now look at your Post, and try to suggest a number of Groups for it.
Example, if you post: [b]"I'm [c=BF0000]listening[/c] to [c=BF0000]Michael Jackson[/c] songs in this [c=BF0000]St. Patrick Day[/c]!"[/b]
You will be presented with some Group suggestions such as:
If you are not happy with the suggestions (or didn't get any), you can still find your Recently Used groups by tapping on the "Search" field, and/or manually look for another Group to post in.
[big]Post Drafts 📔[/big]
It is now possible to save Posts for later.
If you [b]save[/b] the post, but you don't select a Group and a Post Type, the post will safely be saved as a [b]Draft[/b].
You can find and manage your Drafts by pressing the button above the New Post form:

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, 🧡 - The SW Team

Other social media sites used to allow users to see the activity of others. The posts they liked the comments they made. Any replies between followers. This unfortunately lead to serious stalking. So that feature was removed. Previously you could accept messages from anyone. Now there are settings that allows you to filter messages from people you don't follow or words you don't want to read, this automatically sends them to request. The same goes for tagging previously those websites allowed you to tag people and it automatically linked you to the photo or comment now you have to accept the request for it.
This was to deter cyber bullying, stalking and online scamming/fraud.
When people like your posts you also don't get to see who likes it unless one of the followers is mutual, it now says a followers name and others.
I'm not sure if this information helps but it's effectively to create anonymity. Many people don't want to be on social media for the likes!
This website is supposed to be different from the others.
The sole purpose of this website is the anonymity so that people can be their authentic selves free from judgment. The moment you start visualising likes or dislikes. Forcing people to see content and messages they don't want. Posting material with all these additional tags it kills the vibe.
I personally can say that I don't have a lot of complaints about this website anymore. Except I personally feel the pandemic has had a massive impact on people's motivation.
I no longer see adult material against my will. I no longer see messages I didn't accept. I also don't really need to know who likes or downvotes my or others posts (not unless they are my friends)
I'm more interested in the genuine engagement I have with others.
It's nice to see that x number of people liked the post as its useful to know I'm still connecting to like minded people but I feel that there are some people here that specifically make comments just so the user knows exactly what they thought and that opens the lines of communication.
The encouragement for people to be kinder to each other has also really helped things because the trolling/arguing has been reduced significantly.
Maybe it would be useful if you could consider revisiting the orginial idea behind sw and think about it's impact of the gdpr and safety of the users.
It might also be useful to have the mood and the groups on posts optional so you have to pick at least one for it to be posted.
Drafts has definitely always been needed.
But thank you for listening and trying to make this work for us.
