      Feeds are awesome. If you’re on the piefed web interface,

      • under the “Explore” menu click on “My Feeds”
      • click on the “New Feed” button
      • you just need to give the feed a name and a list of communities, then click Save

      That’s it. Besides the two above, I have a smaller one of essential communities that I want to make sure I don’t miss posts on (like EuroGraphicNovels!)

        Got it, found it, tried it, love it.
        (pardon me, that Daft Punk song just popped in my head)

        So… looks like subscribing to a feed auto-subscribes me to a bunch of communities, which actually I’m not that keen on. I opted out of one just now, and I guess that works well enough, but I guess the ideal thing would be if feeds could be added to the criteria by which to sort streams by.

          if you’re looking at someone else’s feed, you can click “Copy Feed” and you can scroll down to see the list of communities it includes. you can then copy and add them to your own feed and pick-and-choose the ones you want. Dunno if that helps.

            Yes, that should work, thanks.

            I also found that unsubscribing from individual c/'s I wasn’t interested in still didn’t remove them from my subscribed stream, which was annoying. Later, when I unsubscribed from the source feed, it seems to have auto-unsubscribed me from the communities I DID want to keep… *Le sigh*

            Anyway, yeah… I guess I’ll just have to look individual feeds over and manually pick n’ choose from the platter. Hopefully this stuff can be worked on over time, because I find it way less than ideal at this time.

              oooh I see… yeah I spend more time looking at feeds than my “subscribed list”, and haven’t subscribed to other people’s feeds, so I didn’t come across that…
