I usually think of us as Snapzites.

[This comment was removed]

First, I'd like to ask how you found us. Obviously reddit, but what reddit thread?

1)I have no clue really. Active? I guess I'd say theres around a group of 10 really active people generating a lot of content, and it looks like about 100 people who are moderately active. Small but growing.

2) Virtual Reality because I made it.

3) I'd say snapzu is content based. More than reddit imo, Reddit is more discussion, which this website does have a decent amount of for its small size. However, here, I feel like the content is more important than the discussion. You can kind of see this by our "front page' where it is a grid that highlights the content instead of the post.

4) The future? Thats a very hard question to answer in a start-up community. Of course we all have hopes of growing. Personally, I'm not sure if snapzu will ever overtake reddit, but I do see it possibly becoming a heavy-hitter in the industry in the same way vimeo is to youtube.

5) Definitely the networking aspect of it. With the following/followers system, as well as being able to "x-post" to multiple tribes, everything has a much more interesting way to network throughout the site. It feels like less of anonymous people posting on random threads and more of a community posting in a community.

6) While I love the level system and the gained abilities, I find some of the things they hold back kind of stupid such as amount of people you can follow. I seriously don't see the point in holding back the number.

7) I don't think we've quite developed a hivemind yet. It will eventually form just like it does on all sites. However, opinions here are pretty free right now.

8) I personally haven't been around long enough to answer this. More people I guess?

9)Off the top of my head I can think of drunkenninja, gladsdotter, and splitfish. All above level 40. Basically, if they have a high level, the probably are pretty well known.

10) I love it. More than reddit. The only downside right now is the smaller userbase.

11) Splash images. When creating your snap, make sure the splash image is the right size. If your article/video/etc. doesn't come with one, I usually just use google images for a relevant image. If its the wrong size it might now show up correctly.

12) Not that I can think of.

13) An intuitive approach to aggregation.

14) Slowish. A post every hour or so. So joining ~20-30 major tribes should give you around 10-20 posts an hour.

15) Ok. I personally haven't had much contact with them, but for what I have had, they have been nice.

16) Though the site on the surface is almost the same to reddit, behind the scenes it works completely differently. Networking is actually slightly important on this site in order to make it work for you. Of course, you can always just join tribes, but there is a network behind them too. I don't mean networking in the same sense that you network for jobs. I mean it more in the way that tumblr works. In fact I'd say that while on the cover this site is close to reddit, the community behind the scenes functions closer to how tumblr is set up. All in all, in order to really understand it, you are going to have to join the community like gladsdotter said. Like I said, on the surface, it will work like reddit and thats fine. But starting to understand how the community works behind it will make it so much more.

17)Snapzu members I guess. I have seen snapzites posted like 2 or 3 times. Maybe that will actually catch on. We don't have a nickname yet.

Good luck have fun.

TL;DR We are tumblr-reddit,

Hey IridescentOak, welcome to the site! I figure I will join in and try to answer your list of q's...

1. Judging by the /u/teamsnapzu account, there are over 7k profiles, not sure exactly how many active users there are, although I lean towards about 100+, and another 300-400 being possible lurkers. Tiny compared to reddits army of millions.

2. I personally frequent /t/science, /t/technology, /t/technews, /t/interesting, /t/books... actually, there is a good way to quickly tell what tribes people are most active in. If you visit my profile /u/drunkenninja, check out the left area... Those tribes have little battery pack style bars on them... referred to as "tribe mastery". Those tribes are sorted by most activity, I guess its self explanatory beyond this point.

3. I think snapzu is generally content based as it focuses on visually pleasing ways to present to you the content we all find and post. But as the community of us posters grows, I hope we can have busier comment areas for each snap. As for now, I see growth and that is always a good thing!

4. Its hard to say, but for end game I should hope its a fun and interactive community that loves to share links and create discussions around them.

5. I would say its the visual presentation and creative approach to content, and caring about how our shares are presented to others and how others can interact and even contribute to those shares.

6. Feature clutter, there seems to be a bit too much stuff all at once, it can be a bit off putting and intimidating at first.

7. I don't believe there is yet a hive mind, its the wild west in this biatch.

8. Over the last couple of years (has it been that long!?), there have been countless improvements to functionality, design, flow and ease of use. I hope the trend continues. Here is a good place to keep informed on the updates /t/blog.

9. Best way to see some of the most active and contributing members is to check out /u/teamsnapzu, and click on the fo...

9. Best way to see some of the most active and contributing members is to check out /u/teamsnapzu, and click on the followers section. Use the different sorting methods to get the results you're looking for!

10. Hell ya, its an extremely addictive and rewarding experience. It feels a bit like the wild west, where things are still volatile and change is thick in the air.

11. Nothing comes to mind.

12. Just the common stuff... Don't repost, dont spam, don't be a dick. Generally everyone seems to follow these three, but then again those who don't just get down voted to oblivion and never come back. It's like a small town right now, much more resilient to trolls and spam.

13. A visual delight for content seekers and a great environment for people that love a good close nit community.

14. The tribes definitely need more active members to post comments and create discussions about the content being posted. Having said that, they are actually quite active when it comes to the shared content.

15. Small team, blog posts with updates. Helpful with bug reports and generally seems to care.

16. Generally when looking at what the site has to offer from the outside, I can imagine people can think its just a fancy reddit clone, but as I dug deeper into the site's functionality I realized this is not the case. Once I created a profile I noticed a lot more features that expanded on my ability to personalize the site to how I want it to work for me... I choose the people I follow, I customize my feeds and my profile, I pick what to post in my snapzines, etc. The general feeling I got after a couple of weeks was that the functionality is designed to serve me as an individual, and not the general hivemind. I think the biggest thing I realized is that there will always be features that reddit has no matter what site we visit, we just need to have the open mind to look past those core functions and into what makes it unique.

17. The two I've seen kicking around are Snapzuites and Snapzites, I think I prefer the ladder.

Hope my answers are of use to you and anyone else that cares to read them. It's been a pleasure so far, and I intend to find out where the hell all of this goes in the future!

I'm from Reddit,but I like this site much better. I do not like the way people often treat each other on Reddit..It's just too big and too much childish nonsense is allowed for my taste. People are much better behaved here and seem to hold others to a higher standard of conduct,which I think is important.

i came from reddit and i still use reddit but contribute more here. on reddit i look at my feed and visit some individual subs but here i also post articles/videos/comments/etc. i like, as photos said, the smaller community here. here are answers to some of your questions.

1. i have no idea. look through the tribes and you might get a good idea based on the ones with the most members?

2. i don't look at the tribes individually but i like tech-based stuff and there's lots of tribes for that.

5. i like how easy to use it is, the UI, and the points/levels system. (it's like motivation)

6. i have yet to discover a tribe like /r/worldpowers (which i really like on reddit)

10. OF COURSE! why else would i be here?? ;-)

11. hmmm. . . not that i know of.

12. i'm pretty new so i've been wondering the same thing

13. it is awesome.

welcome to Snapzu! :-)
