    sort of like subreddits, but dynamic, meaning there's no particular "section" reserved for them, people just tag them whenever they make posts, as they do now, but this allows for an easier organization of your interests and feeds.

That seems to be the way tags already work. How do you think they should be expanded?

Yeah woops, I did pretty much describe them. What I meant is that they could be a bit more emphasized, as opposed to emphasizing the following users thing so much. But maybe I'm wrong, I haven't been here long enough to really say, but theoretically it sounds like it would be easier.

Hey, thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. What I would suggest is following a few tags to begin with. Once you notice certain users that post content you enjoy, follow them. Eventually, you're feed will be comprised more of people you follow thank tags. In my opinion, aggregation can function similarly to actual relationships. I may meet someone at a concert for a band I love, and become good friends with them. Overtime this friendship will revolve around more than just that one band, and perhaps more than just music. I think Hubski can work this way too.

But if you're interested in a more focused experience, perhaps just following tags is the way to go. Hope this helps.

I think that's a great idea, thanks for the analogy you made! I'll give it all a shot, either way I'm happy with the site so far!
