    This is an interesting topic. I'm thinking that we should keep things as simple as possible. Here's my take on it.

    Users should view the content from subgroups that they have explicitly subscribed to. In order to make exploration a bit more intuitive, all groups should have a list of their subgroups in the sidebar, but only one level down. In a way like navigating folders in a filesystem.

    For example, if I browse ~movies I would see the posts from this group plus any posts from subgroups I have subscribed to, like ~movies.action or ~movies.comedy. Now, in the sidebar I would be able to see a list of all the subgroups that are under ~movies. From there I could click and browse ~movies.horror and subscribe if I want to. In ~movies.horror I would also see all the other subgroups that fall under that, like ~movies.horror.splatter, etc.

    So in essence the front page and each group respectively will aggregate posts from all of the subgroups that the user has subscribed to in a tree-like hierarchy.

    I am currently using LastPass too, it's the most convenient out of them all. The only thing that makes me nervous is that I started using really strong random passwords lately, so if for any reason LastPass ever fails to authenticate me, due to server outage or whatnot, I won't be able to login to any site. I think I need to make a backup on KeyPass too, just to be safe.

    Hey everyone, I learned about this site from reddit like probably most of you. I dread about the direction reddit is going at the moment. It became apparent with the redesign that they want to incorporate the same UX that major social platforms utilize in order to increase their user retention and ad exposure for the sake of appeasing their shareholders.

    When I learned about Tildes and that it's being developed as a non-profit, it appealed to me instantly. This means that this site will always be with the user in mind first and it won't fall into the same traps that reddit appears to be falling into.
