Custom tabs / multi-community / multi-reddit
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes and no, in Infinity I had the possibility to create a Tab subscribed to some specific Multireddits and for me this was super useful, because it allowed me to organize the feed of my subs more easily, although I know this doesn't exist in Lemmy, maybe it's possible to create it in Thunder.
Describe the solution you'd like A "Customization" tab that allows me to add Tabs that show posts from specific subscribed communities.
Describe alternatives you've considered Manually enter each community but I am in at least 15 communities and I miss many quality posts.
Additional context Nothing else, thanks!
Hmm, I'm having a bit of a hard time grasping how that would look like. It would be great if you could provide some screenshots or ideas on how that functionality would work!
This could be an eventual feature in the future, but for now, the main focus is to add in some of the missing core functionalities (creating posts, creating and replying to comments, etc)
I hope this video can provide some ideas.
If you don't understand, first I create two multireddits that are like Tabs subscribed to some specific subs, and then I add them to the main menu and to view them I just swipe left or right depending on where they are placed.
Thanks for the video, it was helpful! This could technically be done, but at the moment, I think support for querying multiple communities in one request is not part of the API (but could be in a future version)
The workaround here would be to query each community that is part of the custom "feed", and then combining those posts together into one that is then displayed.
I would like to wait a bit first, and see if lemmy has plans to incorporate an official "multireddit" implementation first, which might then make this easier to implement!
@hjiangsu Lemmy has recently completed and announced multi communities (defined as a top requested feature), which is great because it allows us to create custom feeds as subsets of our communities.
The web UI PR contains ways for users to create multicommunity feeds, and for other users to subscribe to those feeds.

Personally, for Thunder, I think a great first step would be to allow users to display their created and subscribed MCs in the left nav just like communities, so we could choose to browse a single multicommunity, or as normal have them in our All feed.
