I came over here from Reddit, completely expecting an influx of Redditors, but this thread (in the whole 10 seconds I've been here) seems like the only place, with a link to the /r/announcements thread. Edit: Removed a piece of idiocy that's I've already talked about more or less.
No wait hold on this is important. This comes up every time there's a whole bunch of new people from Reddit, and there's nothing wrong with that but the goal isn't to be a competitor to Reddit. Simply another site, with another community that is focused on good articles, original content, and making personal connections with other users on the site. I don't know, I'm sure thenewgreen or somebody more involved can sum it up better than I just did. Welcome to Hubski, by the way.Anyway I think this site MIGHT be the competitor (hopefully).
I too, am surprised by the lack of redditors here. I'm keeping a watch on this hubski thing, at least while reddit continues to suck shit.
My advice would be to check out the "badges" link in the upper right corner. -Some great content there. Also, Hubski as a newsletter that insomniasexx puts together. You can find past versions here: http://hubskinewsletter.com and could find people to follow via that. Also, you can follow tags. Also, also this: https://hubski.com/primer #newtohubski edit: WELCOME!
Welcome! You can check out this post as well which has some good advice: https://hubski.com/pub?id=129011 I also really like kb's comment here: https://hubski.com/pub?id=156804
Well I went here and I'm enjoying myself so far. I think I'm going to continue to go here even if reddit cleans up it's act.
It doesn't seem like Hubski really works on counts or numbers like reddit does directly. It seems to be a more nuanced/complex system that cares more about the amount of activity, views, etc, that come into play. Because of that, the direct number of comments/votes don't seem to be nearly as important as on reddit.
Hubski also doesn't have downvotes...or upvotes. They're just circle dots to the clockwise.
Came here from reddit, it's time for its inevitable downfall.
