Hello, new reddit refugee here. I've been hearing about the fediverse and mastodon some time now. Heard about lemmy a couple of months ago, but didn't feel the need to make an account at the time. With the dumpsterfire that's going on in reddit I figured it was high time I jumped ship.
I have a question that might sound stupid. Is there a way to get the same functionality as reddit's custom feeds in lemmy? Where you have multiple feeds that are "subscribed" to different sets of communities.
Yes. You can subscribe to communities, even from other instances. Just go on the community page and there should be a join or subscribe button.
That's not quite what I meant. I'd like to group the communities I subscribed to based on topics and see posts from one set of related communities in one place. For instance, if there were communities related to piracy, I'd be able to group them together and see posts from those communities in one place, and have another group of communities related to music and be able to see posts from those communities in another place. Like you can see in the screenshots
If you mean multi-reddit I haven't seen anything like it yet, tho I'm pretty new myself (reddit refugee as well).
There is something like reddit personal hompage, you go to individual communities and you can subscribe to them, then on top of your page there's "Subscribed | Local | All" buttons, click on Subscribed and that's your homepage, "All" is similar to reddit all.
