I came here from reddit the a couple years ago or so. There are a few things that a larger user base does better than smaller ones, so I retain accounts at both sites. Here at hubski, a smaller group of users means more sophisticated conversations than you'll see on the average subreddit. I do like the encouragement by hubski to subscribe to individuals, though I worry about a future dominated by a handful of users here. The subreddit scheme is something that I enjoy quite a bit. Hubski's tag pages are nice but they are defined by the hashtags that the poster lists at the time of posting. Therefore, less of a unique community grows around and idea like at r/birdswitharms or r/knifeclub.
You can't dominate Hubski if one can also follow tags and unless one follows tags completely dominated by a single person (which is what #russiabynatives turned into: I was certain when creating it that there are more people from Russia signed to Hubski). Also, for as long as I've been here, some tags have been pretty solid, like #hubskioriginalmusicclub or #askhubski/tellhubski. They're not unlike subreddits but are more fluild. On an unrelated note: These turn into Reddit links and their /r/ brethren don't? I don't know whom to shout out to for this particular matter, so - mk? thenewgreen?r/birdswitharms or r/knifeclub
We don't have markdown for subreddit links, but it could be done. You have to do the regular markdown: /r/ImaginaryCastles
I just used the mark up tip with linked [text]...(linkedtext.whatever)
