The R site has such a feature, which can allow one to group posts from many communities into one feed.
With many communities on different instances with similar topics, it’d be useful to group them to avoid separate visits to each community.

Does lemmy have such an option?
If not, are there any lemmy clients that can provides a similar option?
Or are there known workarounds, maybe with the rss feeds or so?

    I’ve peaked at that issue a couple of times, but I never worked out what the issue/feature got stuck on. Naively I would have thought it a relatively workable feature to add.

      Last I checked, the issue is down to different people wanting different things. Some people want instance.tld/multi/community1@instance1.tld1;community2@instance2.tld2;community3@instance3.tld3, others want instance.tld/multi/hash but some people want instance.tld/greedy/topic of which, there’s no easy way to do and definitely won’t happen, but because they’re so vocal, it’s just stalled the whole implementation.

      But I think that if multi community view is implemented and we can opt communities out of all, it might increase quality, which could be interesting.
