Now what we need are concatenated multi-communities where I can have a linkable collection of each of these overlapping subscriptions at multiple federated instances. In RES they were "multi-reddits" and they were my primary way of compartmentalizing and consuming content.
I suggested this in a different thread, but I think it would be cool to be able to create and share feeds surrounding a topic. All the posts from the communities that are included in the feed show up there, and you can share that feed with other people so they don't need to do all the hard work of discovery themselves.
Surely the devs are already looking at something like this.
But then you have the same problem all over again, just at a different scale. If multiple people create those feeds according to their personal tastes, how do you decide which one to use? It's unlikely that any of them offer the content you want and nothing more, so you'd still have to tweak them to add the stuff that's missing or remove the stuff you don't care about. Yes, technically it's an improvement because you no longer need to do all the work yourself, but it would still suck.
True enough. In any case, it would be beneficial from a UX standpoint to have something that lets users combine the feeds of multiple communities into one. I think there's probably something clever that can be done (or maybe something simple, this likely doesn't need to be overly complex) to solve this, I'm just too tired to really give it the thought it deserves.
