Newbie here, enjoying everyone so far. The posts here seem to be about 10x longer than on reddit and actually on topic instead of always ending up talking about OP's mom. The only question I have is how the wheel thing works. The primer page says that it sort of fills itself up once people share your stuff. I'm a little unclear on the exact mechanics of the system, though.
The wheel thing in the top-left? I think it goes up by 1 every time a hubwheel on your comment(s) gets clicked 8 times, and when it goes around you get one token which can be given to posts you appreciate, like Reddit gold. As far as I'm aware, it does not actually do anything when you're token'd except allow you to token someone else. The only question I have is how the wheel thing works.
