Coming from Reddit here. Tried it once before, decided to try it again.

I have... issues with Hubski.

For instance:

* The whole follow/ignore system doesn't work for me, for various reasons. For one thing, I don't know who/what to follow, and if I did, I'd just slap a feed in my RSS reader and be done with it. It's too... binary. There's no way to say "hey, this is something that I don't generally like, but you know, if there's a really highly voted post on the subject run it by me anyways".

* Don't like the interface much. Fixed top bar, popovers all over the place, inconsistent text sizes, unclickable gaps in places, too little contrast in dark mode, etc.

* Public lists of who follows what is... frustrating.

* Formatting seems incomplete. Case in point: no way that I can see to make lists, which is something I often do.
