Even having some sort of list at the top or side of special group tags (just regular tags with the ability to pin them to the side bar or whatever) would encourage people to interact more similarly to reddit subreddits - for special interest things like book clubs/film clubs/blowing leagues etc. Reminding people they are there even if they don't check hubski every day and may miss a post.

I don't know if it is a good idea to go into that direction YET...but something to think about.

"Blowing leagues" is the most awesome typo I've seen today. Thanks :-)

It wasn't a typo.

I kid.

The idea of pinning tags to the side bar is interesting. Not sure about that exactly, but the function of bookmarking tags is something to think on for sure.

There definitely is space for it on the left. But pinning tags or even establishing groups starts to wander into 'topic' territory. For me, I'm not sure if that's the best thing to encourage, even though I think it would be used.

Exactly my thoughts. Especially as we are growing...established communities like reddit might become the norm, etc.

Communities are a double edged sword, IMHO. There are definitely plusses to having communities, but the one thing I can't stand, is community membership becoming a proxy for anything that would otherwise need to be personally earned.
