I registered a few days ago but this is my first post. I will read your questions and answers tomorrow (I'm going to sleep now). How are you?
Well howdy and welcome. It's always great to have some new people here. Generally people seem to come in spurts, so maybe people like you who've found us in-between the floods don't get as much help as they deserve. I'm not best qualified to answer them, but do you have any questions? Why not tell us a bit about yourself. Hobbies? Career? Favorite book/musician/movie/show? Life goals? Most exciting experience? Hubski is as smaller than a lot of similar sites, which leads to great personal experiences, but there is probably someone here with a few shared interests. Enjoy, and it's nice to meet you.
Two basic questions: is it possible to choose which tags I want to see? And is it possible to preview the reply before posting it? Reading, writing and programming. IT (and I don't like it) My favorite book is not worth mentioning here, it's in Spanish only and not very popular. My favorite band is Rise Against, my favorite movies are: The Thruman show, Memento and Idiocracy. I don't have a favorite show because I don't watch TV. I'm looking for them. My last holidays on a snowy city. Nice to meet you too.do you have any questions?

Yeah, you'll fit in pretty well here. To add to what rd95 said, there are some tags it can be worthwhile to filter. The community is good about adding an extra tag ("community tag") to posts that large amounts of people won't want to see. #spam for example. Or #troll maybe, I think. I don't know, because I filter them, so I never see them. Some of us find it easier to follow and filter specific users than tags, but tags are nice if you are more use to a Reddit style format.Reading, writing and programming
Does this mean community does the moderation here? I like the idea.
It's largely a joint effort of the community, and each individual user customizing their feed. Beyond filtering, you can also mute (can't comment on your posts), hush (their comments go to the bottom for you) and block (can't comment or PM each other, most drastic measure) individual users. You are basically moderating your own feed, without effecting others.
I love it! It's very interesting way to combat spam and trolls.
I'm also loving the site in general, I can use it on Opera Mini without any problem. Reddit is a pain to use on Opera Mini and Voat is impossible.
It is a mobile browser, yes. I personally use it a lot while on mobile data, because it can work in data-saving mode, compressing images a fair amount if you want it to. Also, it has night mode (basically, imagine f.lux, but for a mobile browser), so when I'm browsing the web late I opt for Opera to hurt my eyes less. Other than that, design wise I prefer Safari, it's got nicer animations and transitions. The difference is about the same as between something like Tumblr with a lot of animations/nice graphics and Hubski, which is rather minimalistic.
I also use it while on mobile data because my data cap per day is 10Mb.
I'm not jleopold, but I'll be happy to help as well. You can do a few things with users, tags, and domains. Following any of the three ensure they show up in your feed. Filtering them not only makes them invisible in your feed, but on global as well. Filtering names and domains is particularly useful for spammers. I will say it's best to be judicious when it comes to filtering, especially tags. You can miss out on some pretty interesting stuff if you filter out too much. As far as I know, there is now way to preview a post or a comment. However, you can edit to your heart's content and there is no time restriction on editing.Two basic questions: is it possible to choose which tags I want to see?

Thank you, are the filters persistent? How do I configure them?
So, when you click on a tag or domain you'll be taken to a page that has posts that also include that tag or domain. Towards the top, you'll see two text buttons. One that says "Follow X" and another that says "Filter X". Click those to get the desired result. If you follow something, every time it appears it'll show up in blue. To unfollow a tag or domain, click it again and you'll see a new text button that says "Unfollow X." That's pretty self explantory. To follow or filter a user, click on their profile. Towards the top, you'll see a button that says "Follow Username." Click that to follow them. To filter them, scroll further down to where you see the moderation tools. Click the box that says "filter" and hit "update." If you ever want to unfiltered something, at any time or any reason, go to your personal profile and click "settings." You'll see a column called "filters." Click that, find the person, domain, or tag you want to unfiltered and click the "unfilter" button next to it.
Somebody mention hubski on Voat so I decided to make an account here and try it. I have accounts on a lot of similar sites.
I didn't abandon it and have no plans to do that but it's the same as when you left. Important users are getting fed up with the drama and leaving or becoming less active.
Thank you. I'm not sure if I'm going to post and comment a lot, I think I will lurk most of the time (I have been lurking here for the past week).
Actually you can preview a reply before posting it. As soon as you start to write a reply, the words "save draft" come up in the right corner of the reply box. When you click "save draft," your unposted reply comes up in orange ink. You can preview it. When you are ready to post it, click "edit". A new edit box comes up and you'll see the words "post draft" on the left side. Under the edit box, you have a choice of "yes" or "no." Click "yes" and your previewed and edited post or reply will appear. There's some subtleties to this. For example, if you are saving and editing a POST, I recommend you copy it all into a new post box, because when you post it, it will be somewhat date-stamped from when you first saved it, so therefore not on your or anyone's front page.Is it possible to preview the reply before posting it?
Thank you for the tip. > Testing right now. It works as expected.
