Lived experience is now live! (updated)
Original post here
Sneak peak! We are in the testing phase and hope to have this launched soon, when it does you will be able to go to your Listener account settings
As you can see you can also select topics you are not comfortable with. These will not show up on your profile page and you will not show up in the browse listener search results should someone search for a Listener and that topic.
The stars indicated Lived Experience, and the topics with no stars indicate having comfort talking about the topic.
This is entirely optional, but we encourage everyone to fill this out to help Members and Listeners match up!
Updated 4/24/19: this feature is now live! Go forth!
Whew, nice update! Look forward to the launch. :)
This may be a good way to layout listener profiles :) I like it!
@Jill7cups
Can't wait!!!
I'm so happy that this is available for ALL the listed topics, and it's not just an option for mental illness. Thank you for altering that from the original plan!
Some listeners do have all the topics as lived experiences. I hightly doubt that is correct. Maybe a notification could be sent out to the listeners about what 'lived experience' is?
Also, I've noticed some listeners will come up using this search criteria, but they don't have any topics listed. Maybe things just aren't fully updated yet?
@AffyAvo yes I'm glad all the topics are included too!
Listeners have to opt-in, and it is definitely going to take some time to roll out to scale. When I last tested it, only Verified Listeners showed up in topic specific searches for lived experience.
