If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

My own page shows my subscriptions but it seems that's just visible for me. Can other users see my subscriptions? Can I turn that off?

If I look at another user's page there is a tab "saved". Does this mean other people can see what posts I save? Can I turn that off?

We can only see what you posted and commented. The saved button is going to be removed in the next update

So we won't be able to save posts? Or just the button will be hidden, but still menu-accesible?

It will just be shown if you're on your profile page :) (i.e. where it is actually useful)
