Organising Magazines, similar to subreddits? (kbin.social)

Do we have such a thing? Is it a feature yet to be added? Does any app allow this? Does a script allow for such behaviour? So many questions, sorry.

I feel this would be very useful. Throughout the Fediverse, we have loads of magazines/communities (Whatever you wish to call them) that can be the same title. As in, they can all be about the same topic, but what gets posted to these magazines can be different. There seems to be endless 'Technology' magazines, and it's a very vague title. Yes, some are empty, and may never get filled. Hopefully they will at some point. If we could throw all these 'Technology' magazines into one folder, bookmark, subreddit, (Oh I hate using anything Reddit related, that place is in the past. Makes me feel dirty.) We can then open that folder, bookmark, or subreddit rather than front-page, subscriptions, etc... get all the posts in one. If any of that makes sense?

Essentially, can we get some tools to help organise all these magazines please?

I know this is on at least some if not all of the app developers roadmaps but unfortunately it's going to take some time since most of them are simply working on getting a working app out the door right now. If you have any developer chops then you should definitely submit some pull requests or get active in the Matrix chatroom to help make those features a reality faster.

I wish I had some developer knowledge, more of an artist, and that's of no use here. At least people are aware of the issue. With no API for Kbin as yet, the apps will be further away I guess? I can wait, still very early days here.

For lemmy there is already an Issue open on Github. It's a popular request, so I'm sure it'll be added soon.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

I couldn't find something similar for kbin though: https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin/tree/develop

However it's also possible that it'll be implemented on an app level. So far there is no such ability in the apps I've tried.
