Should we make the /subscribed page the main home page?

See the subreddit for an explanation.

"there doesn't seem to be anything here"

I think you meant /r/WritingPrompts

https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts

/u/d3rr I had it in my mind that /r/ would redirect to Reddit? Was I wrong? Did I imagine that? Or are there special cases? Or may be someone nested it in a link.

Yeah you imagined /r/subname going to reddit, not a bad idea though. You can manually do it though of course (/r/conspiracy). SaidIt does have some kind of writing sub already /s/writing

I guess I saw it around here enough, but have little interest in Reddit, and never visited.

Yes, I actually have that /s/writing in my To Read list.

Why did someone mark this as spam?

If /r/ redirected to Reddit, people'd type it accidentally.

Because the "R" key is beside the "S" key?

No, because they're used to Reddit.

You're right. We should bubble wrap everything and put child proof caps on everything.

It's a UX trade-off. Is it better for people to easily be able to link to Reddit, but people to get annoyed when they click on a link to a Saidit sub that goes to Reddit instead, or vice versa?

But I'm all for bubble-wrapping everything; it's such fun to pop the bubbles!

How often do you link with /s/ or /r/ ? Really.

I hardly think that many folks will make the error and if they do then if it's even read others will point out the error of their ways.

  1. Sex

  2. Drugs

  3. Rock

  4. Roll

  5. Safety fifth.

You make a good point.
