How can we accomodate Reddit folks best?
I would love to see my little tribe /t/makeup grow and I think the drama at reddit is a good opportunity to get more traffic. So how do we make them feel welcome? I'm not creative but ...

Is there any way we can have an 'unread notifications counter' on the activity dropdown? It's a little annoying having to check it every now and then to see if anything new has happened.
Apart from that, I'm kinda hoping this doesn't turn into another reddit in some ways. Many reddit users seemed to have a massive hardon for 'Freedom of Speech' and used that as an excuse to be horrible people. Obviously, the reddit admins tried to sort that out and made a huge mess of it, but reading through the info on Snapzu it seems that politeness and friendliness is a core value, and I sincerely hope it stays that way.
Edit: Spelling.
I doubt it will. You just downvote the spammers and bad eggs into oblivion. People also get out and out banned when they engage in trolling behavior. This is not a free for all place like Reddit,as trolls find out rather quickly.

Ooh, that is a good thought. I didn't know there wasn't one.
And I feel like most of the "free speech" drama over at Reddit came from users feeling that the rules were inequitably applied. When "Fat People Hate" got banned for harassment, most of the users that were mad about it seemed to be focused on the fact that -- at least in their eyes -- there were other subs that got away with much more because they went after "the right people" or otherwise got a free pass from the admins. (SRS, SRD, etc.)
Avoid that kind of situation and you avoid the drama.
well, we just need to port over my favorite subs: /r/ScaryBilbo and /r/Titler
Seriously, though, I think it'll be fine on our end once we all figure out the interface; I appreciate the welcome! I don't know how much more traffic you're interested in attracting from Reddit (didn't us newbies break the site yesterday?), but the thing to do might be to post links and invite codes in places like /r/RedditAlternatives.
The one thing I'm having trouble adjusting to as a redditor is the limit to how many tribes I can subscribe to. Several of the official tribes look interesting to me, and I'm also trying to look for equivalents of many of the ones I subscribe to on reddit. However, as absurd as it may sound, my current limit of 55 is too small to allow me to find many of the ones I'm active in on reddit. While I'm sure there's a good reason for this, I'm not sure limiting subscriptions to tribes is the best way to encourage participation.
And while this is probably something that exists and I just can't find it, is there an easy way to access my own comments? I'm worried that as my notification history grows, I'll have a hard time finding comments I've made in the past.
