# Browsing The Community The Browse screen helps you find people you might want to write to. Wusoup isn't trying to show you an infinite slot machine of faces. It's trying to help you find a few people worth actually talking to. ## How browsing order works Browsing order changes over time, but may consider things like: - Whether the user is active/recently online. - Whether you share interests or profile tags. - Whether the user has a positive [[Usage/Reputation|community reputation]]. - Whether you've already seen, skipped, pinned, blocked, or chatted with them. - Whether the user has enough profile content to give others something to respond to. The exact ordering isn't meant to be a game to optimize. It's meant to keep the community feeling alive, fair, and worth your time. ## Skipping users Skipping someone just means "not now / not for me". It's not a downvote, and it doesn't hurt them. Skipped users may not show up again for a while. That's intentional: if you skip someone, Wusoup assumes you probably want to see other people next. If you skipped too aggressively, you may be able to **reset skipped users** from the browsing controls. ## How to browse well Slow down. Read profiles. Don't machine-gun through people like this is Tinder with better grammar. A good rhythm: 1. Read enough of the profile to get a real sense of the person. 2. [[Usage/Pinning|Pin]] them if you might want to come back later. 3. Write only when you have something specific and friendly to say. 4. Skip if there's no obvious fit, no guilt required. And if someone's profile is low-effort, creepy, aggressive, or otherwise poorly aligned with Wusoup, use [[Usage/Reputation|reputation tools]] appropriately.
