    In its use it’s practically exactly the same as Reddit. I would say it’s format is taken pretty much as is from Reddit.

    The difference is the instances. Now instead of just reddit.com we have a series of websites each with their own admins.

    This adds a new dimension to it’s ecosystem and lots of new drama. But to most users makes very little difference.
