In Reddit, users can create lists of subs, called “multireddits”. And you can browse the content of all those subs in a multireddit as if it was a single community. You can also share your multireddits with other people.

Reddit itself implemented the idea and never touched it again, but it be amazing in the federation. For example, someone who’s interested in cooking could create the following multireddit multicomm:
