This is definitely similar to how I feel. When I first joined reddit back in 09 it felt a lot more like a community. I'll still continue to contribute to the few communities i care about on there (r/gamemusic mainly) but the vast majority of the site just feels stale and cold now.
I didn't see it in your tribes list, so I'll recommend /t/videogamemusic. Partly because it's picking up steam, and partly because I just made a contribution there so I guess this is a shameless self plug!
Haha, thanks! Just thought I'd share the tribe with you, as you said you'll contribute to r/gamemusic, so why not /t/videogamemusic as well? Let's help grow Snapzu into the place we want it to be!
"Picking up steam" is the only thing that Snapzu lacks, for me. What I mean is, the few subs I participate in on Reddit are the reasons I'm still there. They just aren't here yet, so I can't fully enjoy Snapzu. However, the feel and communal feeling of this site does make me feel like I belong to something. Since the communities I usually participate in aren't all here, yet, I've found some new places to hang!
I feel its because Snapzu is still in the construction phase, as new users and refugees are starting to build up a community. The best thing about it though is that you have an opportunity to become a part of that. Can't find your favorite type of tribe? make your own! Is a community sparse on content? provide it! Your efforts will be appreciated as you are contributing to make Snapzu a better, more lively place.
We also have to keep in mind that Snapzu is still invite-only at the moment. There simply won't be much community-building done without the population boom that will come once the invite system is replaced with a public registration one, no matter how many sites like Reddit experience a mass exodus.
I agree. A lot of the default subs cater to a single archetype - anything that falls even slightly outside of that realm gets downvoted to hell. It really depends on the community, there are some subreddits that have a healthy environment and promote valuable conversation. Because of those subs, I will not leave Reddit.

Not cool that someone downvoted you. I will check out that tribe for sure!

That's a cool tribe! I joined up and posted one of my favourite video game tracks.
Just saw it! Bastion is an excellent choice of soundtrack.

I joined in 06. Before subreddits. Back then the communitu feeling was amazing.
Now, it's gone. We don't have that same shared sense of belonging.
Do you still remember the old secret redditor passphrase? :)
Something about making bacon out of narwhals? :P
"The narwhals bacon at midnight." :)
Yep I remember.
I will never forget frozen shower soap.
