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 sma...

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.
Thank you for answering! Replying to a few things you said:
- Finding a thread in reddit is like finding a needle in a haystack. All I can say, is that it was in one of the drama threads. However, Snapzu has been mentioned in /r/redditalternatives. Most people on reddit who have heard of Snapzu are pretty much in consensus that this is where they'll end up after reddit falls.
- I'm in complete agreement with you on numbers 5 and 6(sooo much.)
- As for number 9-- you belong on that list, too!
I'm really liking Snapzu so far, so I think I'm going to stick around. : )

Ya, drama threads tend to be littered with people throwing around alternatives.
I'd like to think I'm one of those top posters but I'm not haha. Maybe one day :p
And glad you're sticking around. Enjoy your stay!
