You should read the primer page: http://hubski.com/primer And here are a couple of threads to start you off: http://hubski.com/tag?id=newtohubski Welcome, I hope you like it here :)
In posts, when you click on the wheel you "share" it to all your followers (you can see all your posts and shares when you click on your username). With comments, they are just upvotes. Next to your username at the top, you have a wheel that will gradually fill up as people share your submissions and upvote your comments. Once you've filled it up once, you're allowed to tag other posts with a community tag and each time you fill it up you get a badge that you can give away to a really good comment or post. Stick around, it will all become clear pretty fast. Any suggestions for the tutorial? You can shout out mk (the leader our little sect) or post in #bugski if you do :)
Only suggestion I would have would be to point people to the primer at the end, unless I missed that.. Thanks for your help, one last thing, the only way for me to know that people were replying to this post was to actually go to the post and check the comments.. are there any kind of inbox/notifications? or is that all in the feed?
