Welcome! Currently steve and I are working on a "welcome" video that should help. In the meantime, check out the Primer Page I know insomniasexx and _refugee_ have curated lists for #newbies that are #newtohubski Feel free to PM me with any questions not addressed here. Cheers!
You mean that gilded reminds you of the badge. :-)
Wow, that is really funny. I honestly had no idea Reddit's silly gold thing was actually (maybe not but they look so similar) modeled on your badges , which do something productive for the quality of the site. Allow me a moment to take my foot out of my mouth here!

-No foot in mouth at all. It could be, and likely is just a coincidence. There have been several such coincidences. It's all good. Without Reddit, Hubski would never have been conceived of, I'm grateful for that site and their contributions to the aggregation space and media in general. They've changed the way media is consumed, no doubt about it. That's powerful stuff. But yeah... we had badges first :)
JakobVirgil you're my heroTO be I think he butled for Chuffy I mean Lord Chuffington when he was trying to get american billionaire to buy Chuffnell Hall
I accept your hero worship but I don't understand the context. Is this one of those hubski time warps?
Thanks for the list! Hubski felt like such a small site when I first found it and was lurking. I'd pretty much just browse a few stories, whatever was at the top of global, and search a handful of tags but now the more I look, the bigger the site becomes.
Yes, that's actually why I've begun using chatter and global, and am starting to consider exploring the Land of Zero Shares (eightbitsamurai can that be added to the map?)
"The Land of Zero Shares is a part of Ignore Isle." "But, you never mentioned it." "Yeah well, that's because people give less of a shit about it than Mute Town and Canada, which is why it wasn't even on the map. But that's because nobody can shut up about Mute Town and Canada is just sort of...there? I dunno, I've never been but I enjoy ragging on it." "I see." "Yeah. What the hell are we doing in this comment section anyways. What the hell are you doing in this comment section? I've got shit to do. Get out."
I've just noticed that the Primer talks about notifications but doesn't tell you where to see them - although I'm sure it's found elsewhere, it could bear repeating here :
If the hubwheel next to your name is orange, it means you have notifications - click it, to see them. If it's blue, then there are notifications you've seen, but not yet dismissed.
