Subscription limit and comment history

I mentioned this is another discussion earlier, but I thought I'd create my own discussion for this specific topic.

I'm one of the many redditors (and I do mean many, judging by the invite code thread!) that have decided to give Snapzu a shot. I really like the organization of the site and the potential that it has, and I hope we end up being a good influence on the site.

My main complaint so far is about the subscription limit. I'm sure there's a good reason to have this in place, I probably just don't see it yet. However, if the intention of the site is to promote activity, I see this having the opposite effect. With the smaller userbase and less clutter, the official tribes look more interesting than many of the equivalent subreddits, and I would like to subscribe to many of them. In addition, I would also like to subscribe to the emerging tribes that many of the new members are bringing over from reddit, even if they're only just emerging and may not have any snaps yet. I want these tribes to succeed and I want to be active in them, but the subscription limit means I can't subscribe to them all.

Something else I feel is missing (or more likely, something else that exists but I can't seem to find) is a place to check my comment history. I fear that as I comment more, my older comments will be more and more difficult to find in my notifications.

I want to restate that I'm enjoying this site and don't want to turn it into a clone of reddit, but I also believe unlimited subscriptions and an easily-accessible comment history would be helpful to all users, not just those of us that are familiar with reddit. I'm interested in hearing other ideas about this and, if there's an important reason for the subscription limit, helping me understand it. Thanks for welcoming the flood of new names and the occasional hug of death with open arms!

    I'm seconding this. Is the subscription limit some way to limit the traffic load on the servers? I'm a lurker and I know that's half the problem (Yes, I need to get over my timidity), but it would be nice to to work just to get more subscriptions. I feel like I'd just end up posting for the sake of increasing my level to lurk at a higher capacity.

      I agree, while I intend to be active, I don't want to post meaningless snaps and comments just to increase my subscription limit. My limit just increased from 55 to 60 as I gained another level, but I still feel like I'm severely limiting myself to only a portion of the tribes I'm interested in.
