The R site has such a feature, which can allow one to group posts from many communities into one feed.
With many communities on different instances with similar topics, it’d be useful to group them to avoid separate visits to each community.

Does lemmy have such an option?
If not, are there any lemmy clients that can provides a similar option?
Or are there known workarounds, maybe with the rss feeds or so?

      Thank you

      Is there any current workaround to deal with it?
      Any client-side app or so?

      I’ve peaked at that issue a couple of times, but I never worked out what the issue/feature got stuck on. Naively I would have thought it a relatively workable feature to add.

        Last I checked, the issue is down to different people wanting different things. Some people want instance.tld/multi/community1@instance1.tld1;community2@instance2.tld2;community3@instance3.tld3, others want instance.tld/multi/hash but some people want instance.tld/greedy/topic of which, there’s no easy way to do and definitely won’t happen, but because they’re so vocal, it’s just stalled the whole implementation.

        But I think that if multi community view is implemented and we can opt communities out of all, it might increase quality, which could be interesting.

    You want to have multiple subscription feeds instead of a single main one? Or do you mean as a server side feature to have a community that collects posts from a list of other communities?

      I want a collection of posts, a feed from selected communities.

      As an example:
      There’s c/memes in ml n world, sopuli etc. I want to have a single feed or tab or page where the posts from those communities are available.

        The quick and dirty way would be making a seperate community with a bot that automatically crossposts any post from those communities to the one you created.

        But the good way would be a client side grouping feature where you can manually add communities to a subfeed.

        I dont think there can be a universal solution, because there would have to be some sort of consensus as to how communities should be grouped.
