Came here because reddit was blocked at my school...
Can someone provide me like an intro on how to use it?
Welcome! everyone else did a good job introducing you, so I won't say anything that's already been said. Personally, I prefer Hubski for interactions and opinions but reddit for wasting time, which by the way have you tried using a proxy to access reddit? if your proxy is whitelisted so only google and a handful of other things work you should try using google translate as a proxy Came here because reddit was blocked at my school...
Hubski isn't really a replacement for reddit, the two are pretty different.
Agreed. Reddit is to Hubski like potato chips are to filet mignon. I come here for INTELLIGENT thought on what's going on out there.
My advice: lurk for the equivalent of a few hours (reading old posts, browsing global and your feed) to get a feel for what sort of contributions are appreciated by the community. Everyone has something to offer (like blob said - perspective). At the bottom of your screen are a whole lot of helpful links, including a faq. Welcome to hubski!
There's also the list of badges which includes all the posts and comments that people here decided were quality hubski contentMy advice: lurk for the equivalent of a few hours (reading old posts, browsing global and your feed) to get a feel for what sort of contributions are appreciated by the community.

Not really, but all posts have one or two tags, and you can curate your feed by following these tags. So if you want all the articles under #thehumancondition , you can follow that tag and the posts will show up regardless of whether you follow the user or not.
The closest thing to a subreddit here is a tag. If you follow one, you get all posts with that tag in your feed. There's a link to popular tags up top.

I think that he is America with a Latin background. To my knowledge, the majority of reddit users are from the states, Australia and some from the UK. For a school to block reddit specifically is special, which might mean that they do have a problem with many students spending time there... Which suggests that it's not a south American country. This is worth nothing if the school uses a typical list for "distracting and unproductive websites"
