TL;DR - See title

For those unfamiliar, multireddits were* a way of viewing posts from multiple subreddits on a single page. So you could, for instance, view posts of both r/linux AND r/linuxmasterrace by using r/linux+linuxmasterrace - you could even append /new to have the posts sorted by new, just like when you visited a single sub.

* past-tense bc reddit is dead to me.

So does kbin have something like this? I tried https://kbin.social/m/linux+linuxmasterrace+linuxquestions/newest - with and without /newest - but it just gives me a 404 page. I’m assuming it either uses a different syntax or else simple doesn’t have this feature yet… but really hoping this is something that could be added to the TODO list.

    Tbh for now I’d be happy if I could just favorite communities and have them appear on the top navbar instead of just random ones.

    I agree though, I don’t care about “being like reddit” and if ernest finds a better implementation I’m all for it… but I want more granular approach to curating my content beyond just “subscribed or not”. I had a multireddit that combined tech and software news, one that combined gaming news, one that combined my hobbies like board games, etc… It’s a very practical feature and it’d be even more so with all the fragmentation of instances.

      Exactly. The ask is about user convenience and functionality rather than mirroring Reddit. If there was a better way, I am not at all opposed to that as long as I retain the ability to make what amounts to my own curated, personal feeds.

      And I agree, even just being able to pin/favorite mags in-app (currently relying on Firefox bookmarks lol) would be a great add and one that should probably come before my ask
