Answer 1

first of all you are not redirecting using redirect('/') because when you redirect you you should use the name you assigned in urls.py i.e path("register", views.register, name='register'), the name here is register
then in views.py:
def subscribe(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
subname = request.POST['subname']
subemail = request.POST['subemail']
sub = User.objects.create_user(subname=subname, subemail=subemail)
return redirect('subscribe')
else:
return redirect('home')
what i edited is :
deleted sub.save() because thats only used in django forms.
and about the subscribe url which causes 404 is you are not rendering a single template, how should the subscribe function work ?
call the render() function in the end of the subscribe function
and simple advice, add an ending slash in the end of every url pattern i.e path("register/", views.register, name='register'), :) this is advisable
