How did ice Poseidon do it then? They aren't private.

They are also hidden from public view, hmm, for that option you need to be here:

sub settings [this will show up when you have your sub, in your sub] -> other options -> allow this sub to be included in /s/all as well as the default and trending lists [disclick this option].

Imma gonna call /u/d3rr to check if this also makes it so that new accounts don't subscribe. (Because I wouldn't know that).

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

and 'restricted' also counts as public?

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
