Am I automatically subscribed to new subs when they are made?

Actually thinking about it more, maybe the 3 options could be in the user preferences and not on the signup page. I think we can just put all users to default, but give the 3 options in the user preferences page. We don't want to overcomplicate the user signup process, especially for a feature that few will likely use (as long as /home is /all instead of /subscribed) so I think it might be easy to just put it all in the user preferences page and default new users to the default list.

And then also add a "auto-subscribe to new subs" option in the user preferences too. That'd cover everything I think.

So basically the choice to reset subscription list to (all, none, default) and the auto-subscribe to new subs checkbox. Both just added to the user preferences page.

Just thinking aloud here, if you have a better plan, go for it

Sounds good, I like it. Nice and simple and expected Reddit-like behavior for new users.

Yeah exactly. Sweet deal

But declare it in the registration. "By default you will be subbed to all subs. Other options exist in your preferences." Otherwise you'll have new Redditers always asking about it.

We're talking about hem being subscribed to default subs not all subs

Oh. Right.

Meh. I guess.
