Jason is right, Saidit will never grow. At least in its current state.

It seems your main complaint is that we don't advertise enough.

Then help us spread the word! You don't have to be an admin to do that.

Changing management isn't going to suddenly create more advertising buzz... if anything the opposite, because I've been promoting this site endlessly, for free, for years now. You won't get a better deal than that. This site operates on $102/mo, all of which goes to server costs, so any growth has to come from word of mouth, from users like you.

Also saidit grew a lot today, we had 1280 comments in the last 24 hours, which is a higher number than I've seen in a long while.

    You can make /all your default front page in your preferences.

    /u/magnora7 this has probably been discussed before, but what are your thoughts about making the default home page preference for future new accounts be "all" instead of "subscribed"? I can see arguments either way, but overall "all" seems to fit better with the unfiltered nature of Saidit. I think it would lead to increased engagement and growth of Saidit. Then if people want to filter by subscribed, they can still go change their preference.

    Thanks for the inquiry, I discussed why we can't do that here: https://saidit.net/s/whatever/comments/ay50/reddit_blackout_welcome_thread/12iw0

    Thanks for the answer. I remember the discussion now. That makes sense to start new users on subscribed until they learn more about Saidit.

    Now may be an auspicious time to make another post that explains how to change their preference and why they may or may not want to. It would be good to include instructions on how to block individuals and mute subs along with it, so that "all" can still be filtered according to their wishes.

    Glad to hear it, no problem. I think there is a guide already written for these features floating around that some people post from time to time
