From Reddit to Snapzu... Questions about differences.
Hey, there are a lot of features that could be noted as good features that are on reddit, that I don't think I am seeing on Snapzu. I could be missing some of these things and I am asking if anybody knows where they are, but this post also might be good in /t/ideasforsnapzu because they might not exist (yet).
1: Flairs
A very important factor to subs on reddit is the flairs. In some subs it gives you more of a meaning and purpose on the subs, in others it could be more important to distinguish the users who are more or less experienced/important. Is this feature on Snapzu?
2: Modmail
Another important feature having to do with moderation. Modmail is a great feature (even thought it is so poorly executed on reddit) that allows the members of a tribe (or sub) to message all of the moderators of the tribe. It's important for busy tribes so that all of the mods can read a message and reply. It saves the users sending messages asking questions a lot of time so they don't have to send a PM to each of the mods individually. It also releives stress from the mods who may be wondering if someone already answered their question in another PM they sent to the other mods. Is this on Snapzu?
Thank you all for reading! Though I can't find these features (of a few), I can tell there are a lot of other special features on this site that reddit doesn't have.

I have no answers but I did want to piggyback a couple of questions I had:
My Snapzu homepage is more like /r/all on reddit. Is there a page that only shows my subscribed tribes?
Also, how do I view my own comment history other than scrolling through my notification list?
edit: Also, how does following other users work? It turns out I'm following 17 other users, but I never explicitly clicked a "follow" button. What determines this?
There is a column on the right of the main content column. I never saw it at first because my browser wasn't wide enough. You can zoom out if you can't see it. It lets you change the feed. There are all sorts of options in that column if you scroll down.
If you click on your home button right near the top then you'll get a black bar below your banner. Click on the word Tribes and you'll get stuff from your subscribed tribes.
Everyone seems to get those when they start. Not sure why. They all seem to be very experienced users. Maybe it helps get you into the culture. Maybe so they can help acclimatize you. It's kind of like reddit meets twitter.
It's some of the highest rated users who post in the areas of interest you stated on sign up. It's so your feed starts off with a good flow of relevant content.
Hey, nice post. However, please read the rules next time.
