One of the features I really miss from the snu site is multireddits. It would be really handy to have a similar feature available in boost that can aggregate posts from multiple communities into a single feed view.

    There’s Home (Subscribed), Local, and All views. If I open All, I can see posts from communities all over the Fediverse, even ones that I haven’t subscribed to.

    Is that what you’re looking for?

      I’m interested in custom buckets of communities so I can build topic views. All, Local and Subbed aren’t granular enough to do that.

      It’s probably a feature Lemmy itself should support on the instance but client side feeds would be nice to have until they get around to adding proper server side multis.

        Yeah, Mastodon has lists, so it’s definitely a feature that is possible to add server side.

      No, what op is looking for is ways to group things. Tags may be a good analogy.

      Multireddits are like having multiple customizable subscription feeds. E.g one called “Consoles” which is PSVita+Switch+SteamDeck+Oculus, or one filled with nothing but subs with cute animal pictures.

        Gotcha. That makes sense why that might be handy, if you have a lot of communities you keep up with.

            I agree, that would be handy, though I think the original design was to allow one to rise to the top organically (i.e. people are more likely to join the community with the most members). I don’t know how that’s actually playing out in reality, and having the ability to group them all would be useful.
