When I used RIF, I could group subreddits together (can’t remember what the name for it was), so I could put all subreddits for one subject in one group, all subs for another subject in another. It was great when I felt like seeing news about one subject, but felt like ignoring everything else.
I don’t think lemmy has anything like this, and I don’t know if any of the apps do this either.
I don’t know if RIF was exposing that underlying functionality, but Reddit had native support for that in the Web UI. It was called a multireddit, could “merge” the contents of multiple subreddits.
Reddit also had native support for ad-hoc merged views of subreddits. You could do multiple subreddits combined with a “+”, and Reddit would create a view with posts from both.
I never got much out of either functionality myself. The latter feature I saw mostly used by people creating “mega porn views” that merged many different NSFW subreddits.
A client could theoretically do that here at the client level, but AFAIK there’s no comparable server-side support.
EDIT: Hmm. Apparently people also do the same porn thing merging multiple NSFW subreddits with the multireddit feature; here’s one user’s multireddit consisting of the “top 100” – now apparently 94 – NSFW subreddits merged.

I reeaaaaly miss being able to group subs.

Multiple - that was it. Thanks!
I loved being able to group news/posts according to subject. Feel like news related to only one group today - no problem!
