"Multireddit" functionality? (self.jerboa)

Is there currently any way to create feeds like multireddits out of particular subscriptions? I'm missing my news/world news/politics multi!

Since I got to Jerboa, I'm surprised to learn how many people used multireddits. That functionality always seemed perfunctory. I always used different accounts for different types of content.

I also used RES, so switching accounts was seamless. Maybe it's more hassle without RES.

Speaking of RES, I'll digress here and gripe about Reddit. That software makes the site much more usable, but rather than adopt and integrate its features, Reddit just made no changes

Instead, they started implementing features that nobody was asking for, culminating with the site re-design.

Without old.reddit, I would probably have left years ago

I never used them with Reddit, but because there are so many small, new communities here that get little posts - you really have to combine them to get any meaningful amount of posts for one subject.

I didn't have a ton of different multireddits, but they were definitely handy. I would use them to group together different subs that all related to a particular hobby or pursuit. Like all the different skateboard subs or programming subs, etc.

I still don't get what is RES. What is that?

As for multis, I love them. I categorized separate things I liked under one single account. It's so good for power users.

Reddit Enhancement Suite.

Basically a bunch of modifications to the way Reddit looks and works. Extra options, buttons, tools, theming, etc... You know, stuff that Reddit should have implemented to make it better, but never did.
