We don't want to be a better Reddit. We are happy to be Hubski. Welcome!

Yes, but what I mean was that you could be a better Hubski if you incorporated reddit's one policy of letting you post right away, because that what the other folks are here for. I understand fully that you are a more refined and polished reddit, and I think that tremendous, but if you leave me hanging, I won't come back. Sorry -- I hear you, believe me, but I urge you to think a little more deeply, because it directly affects your ability to make dinero's. It what is stopping you from entering the big boy's arena, the only one. Think carefully.

Welcome. It seems you've already been allowed to post. The no posting for new users is relatively new to prevent the flood of spam bots we've gotten before it was put in place.

Hubski isn't here for dinero's. There are no ads, self promotion is allowed, and the only allusion to money is the inconspicuous 'donation' option near the bottom (and the not labeled progress bar). If that's the message you received from the content set in place to get you familiar with the culture, then I'd advise revisiting them.

That point and your prior notion of Hubski reaching to surpass reddit kinda confuses me as to your own intentions. Granted I have no doubt they are in the interest of the site, or I'd imagine you wouldn't have bothered. That said, since yesterday you've shown a significant interest in posting about AI. Its a very hot topic! If there's any advise I'd give aside from the first, it's this: explore the site through mediums other than posting. Establishing connections on Hubski with other users, by commenting, sharing , or otherwise, is the easiest way to draw interest to your own postings.

You're already off and running to a great start. Just some thoughts on how to shoot for er... greatness! But what do I know, I'm just a kid from suburbia thats been kicking cans on here for a year.

Thanks, I'll certainly do that. Can you give me some pointers -- I will try an implement them as soon as I can, and you will get to see the result. I don't have any plans except in concert with Hubski, so anytime you want to help me, feel free. And thank you again for the interest.
