TL;DR - See title

For those unfamiliar, multireddits were* a way of viewing posts from multiple subreddits on a single page. So you could, for instance, view posts of both r/linux AND r/linuxmasterrace by using r/linux+linuxmasterrace - you could even append /new to have the posts sorted by new, just like when you visited a single sub.

* past-tense bc reddit is dead to me.

So does kbin have something like this? I tried https://kbin.social/m/linux+linuxmasterrace+linuxquestions/newest - with and without /newest - but it just gives me a 404 page. I’m assuming it either uses a different syntax or else simple doesn’t have this feature yet… but really hoping this is something that could be added to the TODO list.

    I think that is probably part of a bigger discussion. For the scope of what I was asking, consider it as only a more advanced “view” functionality (in the database sense) that allows displaying results from a specific subset of magazines.

    I actually think it would be really cool if such a view worked with federation, as that would allow for things such as having similar magazines/communities/whatever mastodon calls their subreddit equivalent from multiple sources displayed in a single feed (e.g. say one or more lemmy linux communities and kbin Linux communities)… as a single url the user could bookmark as simply “Linux”.

    For now though, I would be thrilled to even have this ability for local magazines
