So I've been a user on here for a day or so from the Reddit move over and a problem I seem to notice is if i want to view all the posts on a specific hashtag (i.e. #science). Sure I could go from my feed to clicking on #science to all #science posts but that seems like a long way to go for a relatively simple task, however it may be just me.
Maybe a possible solution to this would be on the side under the discover row to put a "my hashtags" or something to that extent to make navigating around the site better. Seems like it would be simple enough to code as well with just another </div><div class="bottomcoltop"><span class="leftmaintitle">Hashtags</span><br> (keep in mind I only have a basic understanding of web design so that may not work) and then coding in the individuals followed hashtags, all assuming the want for a feature like this was high enough.
Unless of course there already is a way to do this which I am completely unaware of, which I would greatly appreciate knowing about.
I think one of the goals of Hubski is to move away from the idea of content-based browsing and onto user-based browsing. The first is more likely to lead to the glorification of the masses and the second more likely to lead to... well, whatever you want, not whatever everyone wants.
For instance, on Reddit if you want to know about politics then you subscribe to r/politics and whatever makes it to the top there is what you're likely to see, regardless of whether or not it's good, original content or just whatever people have forgotten about for long enough that the repost is worth karma.
On Hubski, all I have to do to make sure I'm seeing interesting political dialogue is follow a user who seems active, intelligent, and focused on politics! Sure, I'll get some of his other posts as well, but they're more likely to be submissions which I'm interested in rather than what hundreds/thousands/millions of users are interested in.
I'm sure that over time some of the more popular users will end up basically being "subs" unto themselves, but the user-follow system is much more likely to please each person individually by avoiding democracy in favor of a sort of information-bubble.
