Seems like the problem is in the advertising. I, too, came here from Reddit, but it doesn't take more than a few minutes to recognize that calling Hubski a "better Reddit" is like calling a motorcycle a "better dog." In short, apples and oranges. Or I don't know, apples and fishsticks. I'm of the opinion that- not to beat a dead horse (too many metaphors/analogies?)- Hubski has more in common with Facebook than it does Reddit. Mainly due to the fact that Hubski bases its interactions just as much on interpersonal development as it does on content-sharing. Reddit, that's a place to post a picture, throw a sloppy jab in the comments section, and then never talk to any of those users ever again. It's a place to waste time.

In regards to the content- speed of filtration, range of issues- ain't nothin' wrong with that. After all, stuff filters down through Reddit so quickly that there's no time to separate the wheat from the chaff. You're as likely to see sensationalist nonsense, or worse, misinformation on the front page as you are to see real breaking news. And there's such a confirmation bias within the community that you'll only see certain issues arise, and only from very particular viewpoints.

Yeah, the range of content here is narrower, but it's also generally deeper. Difference between a wide creek and a deep well. Really though, I am on a role with the metaphors.

If you discard the Reddit comparison, Hubski is very much enjoyable on its own merits. And no need to relate if you don't feel like it. It's enough to just engage.
