If you are reading this, and you are new, then welcome to Hubski! Let me know if I can be of any help. I've been told that Hubski can be a bit confusing at first, which is hard for me to recall after being on the site for so many years. This is why feedback from new users is so valuable. Let us know what your fresh eyes see, what is confusing etc. Also, I'd be very interested in knowing how or where you heard about us? Also, #didyouknow?...
BWAHAHA! Once you are in, you can never leave. Bottom right hand corner of your screen. See you soon, I hope. AND WELCOME!
So is this website largely discussion or is it also picture friendly?
It depends on what you mean by "picture friendly". Images inline when you use a direct link so it's inherently more picture-friendly than other sites. However, a majority of content that gets shared is more indepth and discussion-focused. A post with a single image is unlikely to get shared around like a photo on /r/pics does. A single photo (probably with some text) that broaches a topic, instigates a discussion, asks questions probably will. Hubski has been referred to as the "Third Place of the internet" meaning that you get your low-fi content from other places, your socializing with your friends in other places, and you come here when you are looking for something a bit deeper, a bit slower, a bit less vitriolic, etc.
