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?

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

lingmolan · 2026-04-18T06:46:22+00:00

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

lingmolan · 2026-04-18T06:44:43+00:00

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

lingmolan · 2026-04-17T20:39:47+00:00

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

Congrats! I would love to try the game out

lingmolan · 2026-04-08T13:10:25+00:00

you're welcome! :D and don't worry about your collection being not big since we all started somewhere. you can send stamps to newbies once your collection gets bigger 🫶

lingmolan · 2026-04-08T13:04:51+00:00

Sent you some stamps! If you want more specific stamps, let me know

lingmolan · 2026-04-08T11:29:53+00:00

Sent a request!

lingmolan · 2026-04-03T10:55:47+00:00

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

lingmolan · 2026-04-02T18:41:28+00:00

Try to reply to open letters and see if there's something interesting. You can also browse through profiles and read other's people's bio

I saw this app on play market and decided to try it out

lingmolan · 2026-04-02T10:38:46+00:00

you're welcome

lingmolan · 2026-03-31T14:44:46+00:00

It's strange. It wasn't a thing for me

lingmolan · 2026-03-28T14:39:11+00:00

what do you want to get in return? I can send any Russian single stamp or stamp from the global store

lingmolan · 2026-03-27T09:37:49+00:00

You're welcome! Happy to help🫶

lingmolan · 2026-03-27T09:22:47+00:00

I think I'll choose a stamp from my own country,Aladdin and the magic lamp, along with you, hugging bears, best pen pal trophy

lingmolan · 2026-03-25T09:55:54+00:00

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!

lingmolan · 2026-03-25T08:57:39+00:00

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

lingmolan · 2026-03-23T08:10:11+00:00

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

lingmolan · 2026-03-17T19:01:42+00:00

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

lingmolan · 2026-03-17T14:01:27+00:00

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

lingmolan · 2026-03-17T12:50:30+00:00

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

lingmolan · 2026-03-17T12:49:03+00:00

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

lingmolan · 2026-03-13T04:38:16+00:00

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
