Created this thread to keep an eye on this feature as I believe it could have a huge impact on communities visibility

Edit: multicommunities / multimagazines would work similar to multireddits: they would be created by users for themselves. Users would be able to make them public if they want to, but the main use case would be private.

The idea is to be able to browse your own “memes feed” and then “news feed” without having all the content mixed in your general Subscription feed

    Right now I do this by having multiple accounts on different instances with different themes for their home feed, but I could see why this would be more efficient for a lot of people lol.

      Yeah, that’s one way to do it, but it’s not an option for everyone.

      I interact with tons of posts and post a ton, myself, so having to switch to my “main” account in order to not spread my user history across half a dozen accounts would be a pain.

      Best of both would be nice.

    IMHO this should be opt-in for communities and not left to the users alone.

    The amount of low quality drive-by comments by people not understanding what a community is about and just sorting them in the broadest of categories like “technology” is bad enough as it is (and causes a lot of extra workload for community moderators).

      Opt in for communities to self group as one single feed they can advertise without duplication? Sure.

      Prevent people from being able to group them however they see fit in their own feeds? Definitely not.
