Discussion about the SoloLearn update 2.2 on May 20th
Is it me or with this new latest update sololearn is becoming more of a social media platform? similar to like Facebook and Twitter and whatnot? With the previous update we were able to create statuses directly to our feeds and now with this update from today, you are able to attach photos from your gallery or even from your camera too said statuses. In addition, you are able to select a background to fit your mood while you write your status honestly the only thing I see beneficial from this update; is the added security patches to the known bugs and quality of life improvements. I'm sure the discovery option in the learn section will come in handy as well not just for myself but for new members as well as old. Ace: Off-topic tag removed

Yeah I see what you mean. I agree, images arent really needed for status upgrades. It strictly said "share anything coding" which people wont do now.
I thought that way too. I thought it would be learning + basic stackoverflow Q&A.
No friends, no chatting, no following. Just strict learn, ask, answer.
And i was wrong xD
Sorry if I went way off tangent with my first post. Didnt realize it was general.

5 mins lol good enough for me.
Yes the messaging finally arrived!

This platform was going that direction anyways if you think about it..
The statuses were made to control spam and off topic in the Q&A, or i'd like to believe so.
Didnt work quite as intended but oh well :p
Its a nice feature the devs worked hard on for us so lets just enjoy it.

Michelangelo haha doubt it as well.
Same I saw this app as complete, just needed the kotlin course to be 100%, but I joined ~2months ago.
Yeah followin is cool; I meant i didnt expect it from an app about coding.

When I started SL the courses were already available offline (up to what you finished online) and it was removed! Glad its back though ;)

Still don’t even have feed posts. But the good thing is, we’ve still got no ads!

Well i dont think thats the direction sololearn wants to head.But when you come to think of it,this feature has a tendency of being "the most abused feature on sololearn".if youre following sololearn,the images they upload are always related to the content they share.That being said,somepeople are not sololearn,i see more hardwork from the mods,theyll start having to pull down selfies and crap like that....
All in all,lets enjoy the moment and hope for the best

the every people in the app want to celebrate their achievements so you don't think if they offer a separate place for that with awesome update of posts
but learning is still on on Q/A section so it's better than any social media like facebook

「HAPPY TO HELP」 Yes that is exactly where I'm trying to get at when the status feature was implemented it clearly stated share anything coding. I mean I suppose if people are using this feature correctly it could be used for screenshots of code but I seriously doubt it and I just don't want anyting to go awry with this feature. I am already seeing the worst with being able to post photos. I joined about 4 months ago and most of the features were already established from the old model. I have no problem with following. In fact, I find it to be very helpful when it comes to people you admire in coding. Mohit the coder (M.S.D) If SoloLearn implements an algorithm in which you are able to be rewarded such as COTD for a status update; I am sorry but the developers have lost all respect from me.

We don’t even have photos yet, though, from what I’ve heard, people are using it only to post memes. 😕

I'm still not certain if the exploit of using a VPN the ads will not appear on sololearn but still to this day I have not encountered an ad on my account but I see a lot of people posting photographs of ads and now with this sololearn Pro subscription to eliminate the ads I'm not sure if the exploit will still work.

Wow, they’re really skipping over us IOS users

Today's update let's you have app shortcuts

I find this interesting how some MODs are promoting unsafe links (according to my AT&T internet provider) and sharing memes? This update is going to being so many problems that could have been avoided if it wasn't implemented in the first place. I comprehend the intention but I just don't want any issues with people mistaking this for something else.

Today's update includes the following... a new filter that involves today's hottest posts in both the code playground and the discussion boards; I actually really enjoy this new feature. As well as you are now able to zoom in on photographs; which I still find completely pointless. Because everybody's utilizing it for memes. Finally, whatever known bugs have now been fixed and are now quality of life improvements. What do yoi guys think about it?
