When a specific submedia is selected, a small selection of fandoms in that submedia category is displayed - fandoms with recent activity and fandoms that are currently popular on the archive. On the header for the submedia, the option "show all [count] fandoms" is displayed. I think this will quickly get annoying for people like me who like to browse a lot. Please include a direct link from the outset to a show all fandoms, don't make us click through several different links of what's currently popular to get there. I have no problem with a currently popular list but it doesn't interest me and I don't want to have to waste time for the pages to load to get to a full list of fandoms.
I love the subcategories you've chosen and I appreciate that fandoms can be included in more than one. I look forward to the new system being implemented!
Same user, just to clarify, for example, if I selected "Myths, Folktales & Religion" from the drop down I'd hope to be taken directly to an A-Z list of all the fandoms categorized that way. Perhaps there can then be a link to currently popular & currently active for those who are interested in that information instead of the other way around?
I agree wholeheartedly. I like the A-Z lists and - at least for me - having to go over the "currently popular"-page would make things overly complicated. Perhaps there could be a compromise? Like you go straight to the A-Z list but there's a sidebar on it which shows the recently active and currently popular fandoms? Or you leave it like in the mockup but add the A-Z list below that so you simply have to scroll down to see it? Both options seem better than having to navigate through so many pages to me.
The thought behind putting the most active/popular fandoms on the submedium landing page was that many users will be looking for those fandoms and will not have to click further, saving them time and the servers the strain of generating the whole fandom list for users who do not need it. However, we will carefully consider all user feedback before finalizing and coding the design.
