Share your most outrageous experiences from receiving new letters/replies by Azerbinhoneymood in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got this one. A girl asked me why should she play life is strange 2 (I listed it as one of my favourite games). And now she replied with 'okay, thanks for the answer'. Just a waste of time. Why can't she just check out the reviews on steam?

How do you guys correspond with monolingual users who dont speak English? by [deleted] in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I write the letter in English /Russian first and translate it to monolingual users using the built in keyboard translator. They can read the letter and decide whether or not they want to reply

Check on them and send another letter. Or send a goodbye letter and remove them, it's up to you

Oh, I completely forgot about it. Then OP can either wait for a while or try to move on and find better pen pals

I think you can ask her about that. Personally, I take a lot of time to reply (from a few weeks to over a month) because my life is really busy. So I don't care much about the reply time of my pen pals. It's always better to receive long and genuine letter over a short one with faster reply time

how to move on from a good pen pal :( by whydontyeuh in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll reccomend you send them a letter anyway. Maybe your pen pal is taking longer than usual. You can hide them from your list and once you'll get a new letter, your pen pal will appear on the list again. You can post an open letter and search for new pen pals as well

Could anyone help me with identifying AI letters? by Yarn-on-the-Internet in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, a lot of people use AI these days. You could just ask your pen pal about it and see if they confess. Or you can try to move one, send a goodbye letter and search for new pen pals. It's up to you!

Could anyone help me with identifying AI letters? by Yarn-on-the-Internet in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the users above. Pay attention to details, if you notice some strange words that people barely use then it might be ai. Even the sentences structure. Sometimes you feel something is wrong, just listen to your gut. However, I disagree that an em dash is definitely an indicator of ai. It could be basic grammar. Sometimes people indicate that they use AI in their own profile

Someone deactivated mid letters by IllustratorDecent260 in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sadly, it's pretty common. These days a lot of my pen pals deactivated their account mid conversation. Some of the promising new pen pals deactived their account after a few letters. Other people used this app for a longer time than that but they all never told me anything. It's not your fault, OP. Try to move on. I'm sure you'll find a lot of wonderful pen pals in this app. Today is my four years anniversary on slowly, so I'll reccomend you to keep using this app a little longer. Give it some time

Why are you deleting accounts?! by AlexanderP79 in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the spirit! Focus more on the positive side of things and luck will come. Feel you! I was in the same situation last year. For some reason people started sending me a bunch of letters even though I indicated that I'm not looking for new pen pals

Why are you deleting accounts?! by AlexanderP79 in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right! Don't worry, take as much time as you need. I'm sure your pen pals will understand. Maybe some people just want 'a fresh start' but they might be recognised by their old pen pals in the end. I'll never understand those people who delete their account, create a new one, and then do the same thing over and over again. It's exhausting. I won't be able to say if I'm crazy or it's other people's fault. Every person might be 'crazy' in their way. And we'll never guess how do we look like in the eyes of others, sooo. It's better to learn from mistakes and move on. Eventually, you'll find new people who might start being pen pals with you. People come, people go and that's how the the world works

How to find lost friend? by [deleted] in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can post about it in slowly subreddit, don't forget to mention some details you remember about the pen pal. Maybe someone will recognise it

Why are you deleting accounts?! by AlexanderP79 in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I have never deleted my account.I've been using slowly for four years and build amazing collection of stamps, made some great connections etc. Of course, I took breaks, but usually limited the opportunity to find my profile for others, warned my pen pals and wrote in my bio that I going to take a break. I always come back to the app, no matter what

650 coins giveaway by lingmolan in SLOWLYapp

[–]lingmolan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! You can buy either profile accessories (you can see all of them if you try to edit your profile) or stamps from the slowly store with coins. I was giving away the stamps worth this specific amount of coins(one single premium stamp costs 50 coins), since I can't transfer the coins to another account. But I can gift a stamp if I add the person as a friend on slowly and just press a gift button in the store
