After creating an account with a new email to comment on a site, you receive a verification link via email. It redirects to the Reader instead of the flow you were in.
The verification link has a redirect_to param. Reported here: p1697640711073149/1697634622.150289-slack-C029GN3KD
Steps to reproduce
In incognito visit a page with a form ( atomic site )
You will get prompted to login
Clicking login, get's you to WP.com login page where I selected to create an account with email
I entered an unused email
I got asked to verify my email
Clicking the email verification link, landed me in Reader - The problem seems to be the URL of the verification link.
