For the past few weeks, Reddit Gold members (those who pay an annual subscription fee) have been able to beta-test a new feature called Multi-Reddits. That feature has now gone live for all Reddit members.
With thousands of sub-reddits, it’s difficult to keep track of them all. Multi-reddits allow you to combine similar reddits into themes – food, music, humour or whatever. Then, when you click on the multi-reddit, you see a blend of stories from all the sub-reddits that are included in the multi-reddit. For example, if you subscribe to a multi-reddit called “Canada” which combines the sub-Reddits for each of the provinces and territories, you’d get a mix of stories about what’s going on across Canada instead of having to click to each sub-Reddit separately.
Multi-Reddits can be made private or public so during the beta phase, I created a public one called “Librarians” which collects 16 (as I write this) of the various library-related sub-reddits into a single place which is a great way to get a quick overview of some of the latest happenings in libraries, books, copyright, technology and so on.
