MultiCommunities are here!

MultiCommunities are groupings of communities that can span multiple instances. They can be used to make custom views when you are only interested in a specific subset of communities but not the overall Local/Frontpage/All feed.

All of the existing Community Settings should also apply to MultiCommunities such as View Type, Sort, Mark as Read, and so on.

If you’d like to try it out please make sure you’re updated to version 239 or above. Please let me know what you think and if there are any features you’d like to see added!

Sharing

All MultiCommunities are fully shareable. Here’s the share link to my meme MultiCommunity above (this will only work on version >240): Multicommunity: memes . The format is essentially connect-multi://[multi name]/[community name @ instance]+....

Adding Communities

The overflow options now includes an ‘Add to Multi’ option. The community banner also has a plus button which will add the Community to a MultiCommunity. If that community already is added instead a minus option will appear here for removing that community.
