Exactly. The ask is about user convenience and functionality rather than mirroring Reddit. If there was a better way, I am not at all opposed to that as long as I retain the ability to make what amounts to my own curated, personal feeds.

And I agree, even just being able to pin/favorite mags in-app (currently relying on Firefox bookmarks lol) would be a great add and one that should probably come before my ask

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

• /d = domain (e.g. so for the lemmygrad.ml domain, you’d use https://kbin.social/d/lemmygrad.ml )

And then there is a block button in the right side panel, next to the Subscribe link. At least, for desktop…

For mobile (even in “desktop site” view), it seems to appear beneath the list of posts/etc rather than as a right side panel. Just use find-in-page and search for “Subscribe”; should be right next to that.
