The home page is home. All and home are similar, but home has a few things removed, like /s/ads. Subscribed is your subscribed subs.

Hope that clears things up. It's not too complicated. We might make subscribed the home page one day, when saidit has enough content to warrant that.

We've been thinking of adding the ability to change your default home page to subscribed in you user preferences. Sounds like this would solve your issue. We'll bump that up on our priority list.

It wouldn't. My issue is whether SaidIt will be successful. If it won't be, no reason to waste my time here. And if you don't change the default home page behavior, SaidIt will fail, so I will leave.

How do you know that that single setting will doom the site?

We'll probably move subscribed to the home page eventually, once there's enough content being posted on average to justify that change. Plus we have the issue that new subs created won't be seen by existing users unless they seeks them out or go to /all.

Right now saidit is growing so I think it's good to have everything all in the same place.
