New accounts subscribe to all public subs unless the sub is marked NSFW/over 18.

Shouldn't that be changed now? Saidit's pretty big.

So how did Ice poseidon restrict new people from auto subbing?

Thanks.

Yeah.. I think we'll turn off this autosubscribe system soon.

So how did Ice poseidon restrict new people from auto subbing?

I don't think they did. Make a new acct and see what happens.

I just made a new account, and it's not subscribed to ice poseidon2.

When is soon expected to be?

Thanks.

Okay, I was wrong about the IP2 thing, I guess they weren't getting every user auto subscribed to them.

Anyway, this feature is now off. New users are subscribed to the 20 or so default subs only. Everyone else has can use "reset subscriptions" in their preferences to go back to the default subs only.

Thanks for the (extremely) quick update!

and 'restricted' also counts as public?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

yep. restricted (included in /s/all) controls a property called 'discoverable' only.

/u/Pyramids So to sum it up:

  • a sub marked NSFW/over 18 does what you want: No new accounts are subscribed to it while still being 'public'. This option is found in subsettings which will become apparant when you create one.

  • making your sub private also, but this means you have to invite peeps, not really what you want.

  • a restricted sub gets auto subscribed (unless the NSFW/over 18 option is enabled)

  • the option I said above does still makes new acounts auto-sub, your sub contributions just doesn't show up in /s/all
