Turn off the auto subscribe feature and change everyone's subscriptions to the default subs?
Either that or make all current users subscribed to all subs again and let us re-unsubcribe as usual. If I understand it correctly, currently we only subscribe to the subs at the account creation, not new ones as they're created. The goal is to make the subscriber count reflect the community, now it's more of a list of the oldest or not-annoying-enough-to-unsubscribe subs and it will take a long time before it balances out and reflects the community's active preferences, if ever.
An example would be /s/Archeology. It's currently inactive (1 post last 3 monts), yet it's one of the top 3 subs and will continue to be so until you change the mechanics of auto-subscribe and current subscrictions OR somebody starts shitposting to the point where people unsub en masse.

Thank you for clarifying and for your input on these critical issues.

For now, this is the plan. There will be a new checkbox for this that is checked by default, "subscribe to newly created subs".

Works for me! Thank you for your replies.
use the following search parameters to narrow your results:
e.g. sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
advanced search: by author, sub...
