reddit refugee orientation
Hey y'all. I just joined up today after awhile on reddit and at this point I'm glad I did. So tired of the drama. However. In realizing that this is not just a recreation of reddit and is instead it's own unique thing, I feel a bit uncomfortable in participating. I don't yet understand the etiquette and culture of the community. Knowing that I am nowhere near the only person to make the exodus, I thought it would be very helpful if there was some sort of orientation for newcomers. I'd like to be a positive part of the community but I don't think I'm alone in the want for some sort of crash course to learn about snapzu and it's culture? Any thoughts as to how that sort of thing might come about?

Have you gone through the Prologue, What is Snapzu? and some of the FAQs? Those will go a long way to giving you an idea of what Snapzu culture is like.
Other hints and tips:
- The downvote is much more like a "report" button here. When you downvote a snap, it'll ask you to pick a reason why, and thus downvotes are much more functional here. See potential reasons for using a downvote in this image.
- The culture is very much about quality of content and discussion. On reddit submissions were just a link and a title. On Snapzu, submissions can be incredibly multifaceted. You can submit a Snap that's a recipe on a blog, and then include on the snap itself a video module, a list module (maybe for ingredients?), and a source for the original recipe. Other users can come to your snap and add additional links - perhaps similar recipes? Or maybe a wine that would go well with it? And so on.
Lastly, there are a ton of new tribes looking to thrive. Don't be shy - go find some interests and participate. If you're unsure about something, go see which users you're following. When you signed up, Snapzu automatically had you follow some people on the website who have a TON of experience, and they're all very friendly.
Hope that helps!
