Okay, try this:

You just described three top-down hierarchies. Order is externally imposed. Hubski is a bottom-up hierarchy - order is internally imposed. Whereas Reddit requires categories for content to be posted, Hubski allows content to be categorized after the fact. Whereas Reddit has gatekeepers curating subjects, Hubski has tools for monitoring subjects regardless of who posts it, and posters regardless of their subjects.

I see. That's close to what I suspected was the idea behind it, that Hubski was a single giant, raw RSS feed that can be filtered, split up, and organized in whatever way the individual wants. Like how a single text can be analyzed through many different critical theories or read in many different ways.
