I made my Hubski account awhile ago when it was first mentioned on Reddit. I never put too much time into it. I figured I could get the same experience over there as I can here.

Lately, I've been getting back into Hubski. I've been lurking a lot for the past few days trying to get the feel of things here. I didn't want to be one of those guys who joins a community without knowing about it first.

I'm still trying to get the hang of things. It's weird following people, it kinda makes me feel like a stalker.

All "following people" means is that their posts show up in your feed, but there are many ways to join the parties besides "following."

I get that, I started tracking various tags that fancy my interest. It's still probably going to take a awhile to get the flow of things.

Ha. I get that, I really do. It's sort of like going to a party or a function when you don't know anybody. Everyone's got name tags on and is in little groups scattered about the room in conversations. You never want to interrupt a conversation but really you just need to jump in and introduce yourself. That's when the party gets fun.

Nice analogy. Take this as my introduction then.

thenewgreen has wonderful analogies and metaphors for everything. Now that I've pointed it out, you will smile every time you see a new one. Welcome to the community. It's the tiny details that make us special.

Welcome friend. (wow, that sounds cultish)

There isn't some sort of initiation ceremony involving hooded robes is there?

not yet. But I like the way you think ProtrudedDemand.
