Land newly-registered users on Discovery

Goal

We want to test a hypothesis for increasing short-term retention: Landing newly-registered users on Discovery feed will be more effective at (1) connecting users to channels with content they're interested in, and (2) as a result, increasing short-term retention.

What needs to be done

When a new user completes the registration process, land the user on the Discovery/Top feed instead of the Newsfeed.

QA

UX/Design

No design.

Personas

This change is targeted at new Minds users who are curious about the network and want to connect with people with similar interests.

Experiments

This change should be implemented as an experiment, measuring:

% of new users who have followed a channel
Avg. # of channels followed by new users
Content engagement rate on a new user's first session
3 day retention

Acceptance Criteria

Given I've not already signed up for a Minds account, and I've started the signup process, when I complete the signup process by verifying my email address, then I am brought to the Discovery > Top feed, and the interests tag selector modal appears.
