First off, as someone who has been around various forums for years - it feels wrong for me to be posting in a thread that is (as of now) 801 days old, but from what I understand that is not unusual around these parts. I'm Stephanie. I signed up for hubski a few years back and have basically just lurked, as is my M.O. around the internet. I'm rather fond of Keifer, who introduced me to this site in the first place. I'm not much of a contributor, but I have certainly enjoyed the quality posts that people make and the resultant discussion (without the reddit-style shitposting everywhere). It has taken me quite a while to understand the site layout, as it isn't particularly intuitive, even with the tutorial. Definitely still don't understand tags, but I suspect that will come with time.
You're not alone tags are more like twitter hashtags than subreddits They can be straight up categorical : #uspolitics They can follow a specific thread of events : #whiterabbit They can be shitposty: #weregretnothing They can be subredditesque: #askhubski There's no wrong way to tag.
