Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today, assuming you spend a decent amount of time online.
SOCIALMEDIA was what the theme of "Extremely online" made me think of first, and sure enough I found it right away, stretching from the top of the board to the bottom and then back to the middle.
This neatly cordoned off two words: TWEET and REPORT in the left-hand corners. In the bottom right, POST was almost locked in too, and it was easy enough to spot LIKE to its left. COMMENT snaked immediately above both of them.
Two words were left to find, both in the top right of the grid. When I found SHARE on the left-hand side, the final answer was clear: I connected FOLLOW and finished the puzzle rather quickly.
