This was my article and I did it because I really enjoy Hubski, which surprised me. I am a Metafilter refugee who moved to Reddit a few years ago and have been looking for more long form interaction which Reddit seems to be losing.

I still love Reddit for the sheer wealth of stuff they cover, but I'm finding less and less incentive to spend long periods on there, even in the subreddits. The /bestof and /truereddit seem to be closer to my ideal, and that's where Hubski dovetails in for me really.

I find that moving to the smaller, niche subreddits really improved my overall experience. Also, if more in-depth content is what you're after, try /r/askscience, /r/askhistorians and /r/depthhub.

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually do use /r/bestof as my main feed, since it seems to pull in some great stuff from /askscience/historians etc. There is good stuff out there, no doubt. :)
