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
For Piefed, I couldn’t find any, @rimu@piefed.social is there one I might have missed?
I know Piefed has topics, but multicommunities or magazines would be more about having personal curated group of communities
What are multi communities?
Groups of communities that you would able to browse together, similar to multireddits.
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.
Indeed. No updates so far on neither platform unfortunately.
That’s what I do too, I find it’s helpful to separate topics by accounts.
A multi community feature would surely be helpful for some people though.
Nice, you are one of the people I mentioned in a comment below: https://sopuli.xyz/post/16331525/11486547
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).
Summit supports multi community feeds. Use it every day!
Are they going to put this feature in the apps
