Issue one is fixed if you go to preferences->content options->home page and set it to subscribed.

I'd still like to ignore users and subs, so I could see "new" without having 100 threads about stuff I'm not interested in. But that's a great tip I did not know about--thanks Mnemonic.

You mean it's not working? Or don't you know that in preferences you can easily unsubscribe from all subs and than manually pick them out from https://saidit.net/subs/ . Or do I now misunderstand you?

I like to browse "new". Does your method work for "new'? It may be I who am misunderstanding you--I'm having a brain day. ETA: plus I'd also like to see new subs as they're created.

It does work that way, it acts like /Subscribed/new (that would be the old way to access it).

For the new demand: In the footer is a link to https://saidit.net/subs and https://saidit.net/subs/new/ is that list sorted on new.

how do you 'easily' do it? there's no 'unsub all' option.

Go to preferences -> subscriptions and set 'unsubscribe from all subs' to yes and save.

As is explained here: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/37r/welcome_to_saiditnet/ (see footer) more eloquently:

Saidit's sub 'subscribe' system is an opt-out system, rather than reddit and voat's opt-in systems. This means that when your account is created, you're automatically subscribed to all subs, then you can unsubscribe from the ones you don't want on your home page. If you'd rather do it the other way around, you can go to 'preferences' in the top right to see your user preferences, then select the option 'unsubscribe from all subs' and you can build your own sub subscription list from scratch. This opt-out system also means that when you create a sub, any new users to saidit will automatically be subscribed to your sub.

awesome. I missed that when I scanned the preferences.

Also, too many words in welcome page. Like, it was a small book.

Copying it to a WYSIWYG text editor with the standard layout it's not even 2 pages long...

2 pages to say "hi".

Apple's terms and conditions is shorter. It reminds me of the phrase "the left can't meme".

Information can be expressed simply and quickly, or,

One can present an overview of the data concerning, or referencing a subject or set of ideas in a very lengthy and convoluted process. Adding unnecessary details, repeating phrases about that data, both as an overview and in specifics.

I think it comes from a mis-step in 'higher' education, where great store is set in the minutiae of potential interpretations of anything that is said. In an attempt to control the received interpretation of what someone is trying to say, every detail and avenue of possibility is explored, with the ever increasing tidal wave of verbosity intended to create within it some semblance of the shape of the things being said. Nuanced and accurate and unable to be misinterpreted.

Its all a fallacy, of course, as all that is really happening is the edifice of shared misunderstanding grows ever larger until someone gives up and says "bollox".

EDIT and then moans about not being able to unsub quickly. Because they didn't read it all.

and explain the basics on how everything works and where to find certain things (such and the Terms and Content policy [which is still shorter than Apple's] ). It's all pretty neatly packed and you're always free to comment and/or ask questions about it in those threads. (Or even suggest a better text.)

I'm glad you've found what you needed and ehmm "Hi!"
