    I've noticed that in /t/lounge and /t/newtribes, people are just starting up a bunch of their favorite subreddits. I don't know why, but that's kind of annoying to me.

      I came here from reddit today and it kind of annoys me too. Why would you leave reddit only to come here and try and recreate the exact same site. I'm sure this site could benefit from new tribes and more content but recreating reddit subs and posting old reposts from them doesn't seem like a great idea.

        I agree with not creating the exact same site, Reddit was horrible in a bunch of various ways that this place improves upon drastically. I also agree with how porting posts over could be annoying. I do think, though, that it's okay to start your favorite tribes based on subreddits you subscribed to in the past. You still have those interests, and you'd still like a place to discuss those specific interests with other people. I don't believe there's any harm in that. When I got here I created /t/3DS so that I could have a place to share and chat with other 3DS owners and I don't believe that inherently takes away from Snapzu or makes it less of a great experience or more like Reddit.

        THAT SAID, recreating something like /t/showerthoughts is an obvious exception to my point. Still, I don't think it's hurting anybody, but I get where you're coming from. I'm just saying not all subreddit recreations are inherently harmful to the community. Just an opinion! :)

          I didn't say it was hurting anything, just that it was kind of annoying.

          specific tribes like 3DS are one thing, but generic tribes like _____porn or like you said, showerthoughts, try and be creative and come up with a different name.

            I agree we should kinda start our own traditions. I get what you're saying.

            i see nothing wrong with recreating subs like showerthoughts. it's a great subreddit, why not have the same greatness here?

              It is a good subreddit, but I'd rather see it called something like 'thoughtsfromtheshower' or 'showerideas' instead. calling it showerthougths just makes it feel like a direct port. Snapzu isn't an emulator.

              @ttubravesrock -

              this only makes it harder to find, and doesn't change the feel or the content, so why bother?
