Hey /u/Tsugumori! Welcome. There are many ex-(and current)-redditors around these parts, so you'll fit right in.
Some key differences that will help make your experience a bit better:
- Local Feed: You can "Follow" specific users, similar to something like Twitter, where you can customize what kind of posts/comments you see. The system should automatically set you to follow 15 people when you make your account, based on your interests.
- Snaps: On Snapzu posts can be much more complex, you can add Related Links, Sources, and most importantly Modules. Modules allow you to add images, polls, and any other resources to a single Snap. Snaps can also be submitted to multiple Tribes (similar to subreddits). This allows for much more centralized discussion. Even more interestingly, a Snap's ranking on a particular tribe is specifically based on votes it's received from that Tribe.
- Experience/Reputation: By simply using Snapzu (posting, commenting, voting) you earn experience which allows you to Level Up. Levelling grants you access to additional features such as profile customization, or grants you more of something you already have (being able to subscribe to more tribes, follow more users, etc). Up/downvotes affect your reputation, which is incremented/decremented once per day. Obviously higher reputation is better. Also, most of us try to encourage users to only downvote as a moderation tool (e.g. spam, doesn't contribute to discussion, rude comment, pedantry).
- Community: In general you will find people here extremely helpful and friendly, so feel free to bug someone if you have any other questions!
