Go to your username preferences (at the top right).

Under the 'subscriptions' region, there is a selection called 'unsubscribe from all subs'. Select 'yes' and it will unsubscribe you from all subs.

Let me know if you need any more help!

Is one automatically subscribed when new subs are created? I want to make sure I am updated on new subs.

No, existing users are not subscribed to newly-created subs. To see the newest subs you can go to https://saidit.net/subs/new/

However please note that the "home" and "all" tabs show very similar things (/r/ads is removed, basically) and it's only the "subscribed" tab that is changed by changing subscriptions

Is there a reason that "Home" and "All" are so similar? I was initially confused because subs that I had explicitly unsubscribed from kept showing up in "Home." I didn't realize that one had to click on "Subscribed" to achieve similar functionality to Reddit's "Home" page.

Alternatively, is there any way to redirect Saidit's homepage to Subscribed or change preferences so that it is the default that shows up when one clicks the Saidit icon?

EDIT: Just found the option in preferences to redirect the homepage to subscribed. Still, what is the rationale behind having "Home" and "All" display such similar content?

Home is /all with a few things removed like /s/ads. It's a filtered /all, basically
