Tired of seeing one sub take over All, some subs may cause a bad first impression for first-time users.

New users are set to /subscribed, so they'd have to venture to /all anyway. And sub muting is coming soon, d3rr said it's half-working in his tests already

I don't like being preoccupied with perceptions, but for this place to grow, new folks' first view of the main page can't be all one or two subs - especially if they are kinda fringe ideas.

I hate to suggest this, but I think Reddit had a decent idea with the 'default subs' - at least during these early stages. As long as the moderation of these few defaults is solid (defined and kept on topic!) and the mods themselves are good, I think it would be beneficial.

I dunno, just a thought. Maybe there is a button on your settings page to 'subscribe to all subs' that comes with a warning to have some thick skin or something, and would subscribe to all available subs. You just wouldn't have that by default.

New folk's view of the front page is actually the subscribed page with 70 hand-selected subs as of about a week ago. So your wish already came true

Oh, cool, thanks.
I suppose they have default homepage set to 'Subscribed' as well then? If so, sounds good to me.

Edit: Now I see it says "Subscribed (default)" in the preferences, all good.

Yup, it's default. Our new setup is much more the subscription behavior most people expect

70

Tag that sub as "NSFW" and not showing NSFW subs to non-members by default.
