Joining similar worlds was probably the best online decision I've made this year. The whole site just feels so welcoming. Whether you're into deep conversations or lighthearted memes, there's a place for you here. One of the things I love most is the way posts are organized. You can actually find content that interests you without having to dig through a cluttered feed. I've met so many like-minded people here, and the discussions are always respectful, even when people disagree. It's the kind of space that reminds you why you liked being online in the first place.

Honestly, this site exceeded my expectations. I joined because a friend recommended it, and I didn't think I'd stick around, but now I'm here daily. What makes it stand out is how much variety there is in the kinds of discussions you can have. From hobby groups to random debates about life, there's never a dull moment. The atmosphere is so friendly, and even when people disagree, it rarely gets toxic. I've also noticed how easy it is to stay connected with people—I'm always finding new posts and comments that make me laugh, think, or even learn something new.

I got put onto Similarworlds by a friend on Reddit. Apart was very littler replies to my questions the thing that put me off was Gangs. It has 2 main groups of users that think it funny to abuse or report very small mistakes in your question. Also, when someone from a group/gang steps off the line with abuse, it's a waste of time reported it.
The Moderators have favorite users it seems, those gang members can do what they want with NO action taken against them by the moderators.
It's just not a fair place I out in the 10 months I used it.

Needs a big change of moderation thinking to allow honest users a fair go.

As we replied on the other review site (not sure why you had to put the same complaint here too, when we already provided you with a way to resolve the issue): We are sorry you had this experience. We have been working over the past years in trying to resolve this issue, but unfortunately, this is a problem that no social website has been able to resolve yet, whether it's SW, Reddit, or Facebook.

Overall Amazing!
December 21, 2024

Been using Similarworlds for about 3 years now and I'd give it a solid 4/5. The community is amazing, especially in the photography and art sections - people actually give constructive feedback instead of just dropping likes. The admins are super responsive too, helping me recover my account when I got locked out. BUT... there are some annoying quirks that need fixing. The mobile version can be pretty laggy sometimes, especially when loading image-heavy threads. And the chat system needs work - messages should automatically update while in chat. Still, it's miles better than Facebook these days, and at least they're constantly making improvements. Just last week they fixed an annoying everyone was complaining about. I'll probably stick around for the long haul since the community makes up for the technical issues.

SimilarWorlds, a recreation of the old site Experience Project, brings together just anyone from anywhere. I've never met such a cosmopolitan group of users with people from all walks of life, political viewpoints, and parts of the world. It can be a weird place to get into but so many users are amazing people.

SW also has amazing community and administrator policing of exploitative content. The problem exists as it does on all social media, but people really band together to stop bad actors from hurting people. I've been there for years and hope it lasts for so much longer.

Similar Worlds Is Fun
November 4, 2023

I found Similar Worlds after "Yahoo! Answers" shut down. It's a much smaller community, so you get to know everyone well. It's a fun environment to hang out, chat, and laugh.

There are some poor reviews on here, but no site is perfect. There's always going to be a few bad people, no matter where you go.

It's good to have a sense of humor and not take anything or anyone too seriously.

The only one of its kind
December 27, 2021

This is an amazing site where you can give or receive support as well as make posts, comment on those posts or share private messages. You can happily surf the site too. It's under constant development and whilst not perfect so many here would miss it deeply.
Like the real world and the internet in general there are strange or obnoxious people but also decent and caring people.

Not so Similar Worlds
March 11, 2022

Don't be surprised if you find this site to be an unfamiliar world to you if you're normal.
You will like it if you like shallow conversation discussing your latest mental state. Depression is an often high point of discussion. Sexual perversions get good responses. Naked boobies pics are a highlight on Tuesdays.
If you like sitting at a bar drowning your sorrows away you'll have multiple chances for shallow conversations with the sad sacks sitting with you.
If you choose to open up and expand a conversation with a person from another country you'll probably be cut down openly by a wanna be expert that sits proudly amongst their participation trophy's from the high school debate team.
Low membership #'s will leave you talking with the same group of board house wives if you're into that.

Evaluation of SW
January 4, 2024
Updated review

The only redeeming feature of this online forum is the solid backbone of veterans from EP. Without their input and participation, SW would be nothing. Many refugees from EP have left. The admin(s) are of poor quality. Gangs of bullies travel this site causing mayhem and are allowed to cause trouble. The ongoing influx from other sites means a younger crowd who mostly is depressed and afraid and wanting attention with relationship problems. Quality postings are few. This site continues to deteriorate. It is like the lesser baby brother of a glorious star, EP. I spend time on SW only to see my friends and chat in pms with them. Limit your time here. You have a better life offline. Complaints are ignored. People are falsely accused of wrongdoings. Warnings are placed on profiles often incorrectly. That is all. PoetryNEmotion. 2024-01-04.

Date of experience: January 4, 2024

Let us face the fact that this site is so young and learning. The glory days of EP are long gone, but we remember well how wonderful they were. Many of the former EPERS found refuge on SW. Many familiar people gather there now. I cherish my inner circle. I have made some good new friends. The younger crowd comes and leaves regularly. Lots of fake people. I don't know why people cannot just be themselves. But that is the reality of online. People can pretend to the hearts content. There are some fine writers here and some fine poets too. And many ordinary, good people too. I think you get what you invest into SW. Be kind. Be real. Have fun. Watch out for trolls and negative people. That is about it.

DO NOT go on this website before you read this! So I was just needing another site to share my experiences, and I was asking my questions about why and how I'm curious about something. Guess what?! They were attacking me for being the "s" word! Even the admins and mods are doing their job the wrong way! Be careful when you sign up for this pred prone website! People there are fake! All they do on their profile pages for examples is lie about their "g" word, put false pictures that are not theirs and write up creepy messages when I never asked for them! AGAIN: DO NOT go on this website before you read this!

Like many websites, Similar Worlds can be a great experience with wonderful people, or it can be a playground for trolls. The admins are really dedicated to making it the former. Know that if you participate, you can completely block posts from deliberately offensive people, or you can have an email conversation with the admins about them.

It used to be for members of experience project but the got kicked to the curb adms admin nuno and Andrew deleted and deactivated all there personal groups. They could care less what there members want and just do it there way. Many e pets have left. Many just leave after a few days. If u have autism u are picked on Dailey. Only reason I'm there is I have friends there. I wish someone would start a good social media site

This website is possibly being run by amateurs with no customer service acumen.
I reported abuse of another site user and received I rather rude response from an administrator. No action was taken against the member...

You will quickly see on signing up it resembles a school playground.

This site has NO standard of fairness or enforcement of moderation.

For example:

I received threats from a user over her many multiple accounts, and because she and her various cohorts are fairly popular...

When I grew tired of being harassed and reported it. Guess what.

Admin turned it around. Defended them. Ignored my evidence and promptly banned me. Without question.

Apparently she's someone's favorite daughter or girlfriend. When it's like that...

Decent users don't stand a chance.

And insignificant. It's mostly a mecca for angry Trump minions and older men trying to groom young babes. The site works pretty good, but the quality of users is terribly lacking.

Having joined in June 2017 I have had nothing but a positive experience here.
I interact with many people worldwide which I find amazing, being a sort or hermit. My experience is only positive because I completely ignore those who attempt to ruin my time there.
By not responding to to those negative people at all then one is left alone to share wonderful experiences of life.
There are games to play, music to listen to, one can run quizzes and give gifts as prizes. You can follow members, have special friends, give advice, lament your life's experiences if that is your want.
Me? I truly love being able to post my wildlife pictures of Australia's animals, places, Sunsets etc.
To share my adventures(with pictures), my latest being a Hot Air Balloon Ride out of Northam.
Similar worlds is one of two Social Networks Sites I am a member of and I give it top marks.

Whoever said that those bad reviews of this cesspool are dishonest has no idea what they're talking about.

SimilarWorlds is absolute garbage. It is full of overly aggressive users and admins and mods who defend them at any cost. Before I left this horrible website I had several friends banned from there just because they got in arguments and fights with some of the admins's favorite users, who seem to constantly be in contact.
There's a huge mob mentality on this website... oh and a lot of diaper fetishes.

Similarworlds offers an open platform for social interation for people over 18. As with any open forum there is some misuse. The site is self regulating with a responsive admin staff should inappropriate content or behavior be reported. I have had the opportunity to interact with intelligent, humorous thought provoking people from all over the planet. There are mechanisms in place to block interactions if they are undesirable. It is what you make it! I find it enjoyable and light hearted. It is addictive but that's my problem not the sites. Like all things socially interactive you are empowered to watch it, read it, or switch it off. It's one if the better sites out there that I've seen..

I was on there during the beginning and last month after I deleted my account there. My first take on this is very depressing how many users act on there.

I don't like the fact that many latest lame EP members are there and only few good ones. To top it off with the same pedos. Same $#*!heads. Same Fake profiles and it seems like everybody gave up life and continue to complain about same old Blocking Drama as well. It never gets old to them because their life is nothing more than Mentally ill Patients who have nothing better to do or nothing better to post. Bunch of anti social $#*! roaches and they deserve to stay on this hell hole for the sake of this world. To escape from reality to Hell. I'm glad I deleted my account. Wish EP is back though without the stupid APP
