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

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.

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.

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.
