Are you using Swell categories?

Hi, everyone. It's Rachel. So we have a question for you all who have been using Swell. Are you finding the categories easy to use when you're creating Swells? Are they useful? When, when you've been searching for any interesting content, or are they something that really hasn't influenced your experience? Anything you have to share about how you've been using or not using categories in the app would be so great to hear about

Let us know! #feedback #app #categories

But at the same time, it's still good to hear something and to have some type of conversation, even though we need to really have a more honest discussion than what we're doing now, because the discussions we're having now is not really honest. There's a lot of lip service being paid, a lot of business decisions that are being made by different sports leagues and stuff like NASCAR banning the Confederate flag. But we'll see how everything plays out

If I go to the search field, it seems the only options are to search for specific swell or to search for users. And I think if there was just a way to search for categories, that would be extremely beneficial, maybe this is just me being new to the app and not really knowing how it works. But the only way I found so far to browse through different categories is to scroll horizontally on that top toolbar area manually, kind of see what categories I'm scrolling past again

Category nav

Yeah. I second this idea of making categories more accessible, easier to search for, easier to navigate. I love this idea of being able to subscribe to an interest group and then kind of just on my way to work just listening to the different threads, like a podcast. I think that's a really cool feature for me. I think I would love that opportunity

I second that I think it would be really nice to listen to stuff by categories that's it. As someone who posts on Twitter, sometimes I can't find the category that I really want to find and I want to to throw in a custom category. I can't think of a very specific example. Sorry, but I've had that happen. And also should we be able to tag as well with multiple categories? Worries

That's a really good point Shami about being able to potentially tag in multiple categories because I know for me I've had a couple where maybe I've wanted to have it fall under politics and activism or education and tech. And so I think that's a really good suggestion. So thank you so much for that
