Remove discovery homepage route from sidenav #6161

Ticket(s) / Related Merge Requests

#6161 (closed)

Summary of Changes

Now that we have removed the guest mode feed on minds, we need to update the 'Explore' sidenav route that was pointing to '/' instead of '/discovery' for logged out users who have made it past the marketing homepage and are visiting the site as guests. Where '/' used to point to the discovery homepage, now it goes to the marketing homepage.

With this update, for minds.com users, the sidenav link will just go to '/discovery', regardless of whether the user is logged in or out.

No change for tenants (e.g. clicking '/' still goes to the discovery homepage)

• For logged out users on minds who have navigated to the site's contents (e.g. via an SEP), clicking 'Explore' goes to '/discovery'
• For logged in users on minds.com, clicking 'Explore' will still go to '/discovery'
• For logged out users on tenants, clicking 'Explore' will still go to '/' (the discovery homepage)
• For logged in users on tenants, clicking 'Explore' will still go to '/discovery'
