Created this thread to keep an eye on this feature as I believe it could have a huge impact on communities visibility

Edit: multicommunities / multimagazines would work similar to multireddits: they would be created by users for themselves. Users would be able to make them public if they want to, but the main use case would be private.

The idea is to be able to browse your own "memes feed" and then "news feed" without having all the content mixed in your general Subscription feed

I think it would make it worse

You might be right, maybe we should keep multi private at first

this is a feature that encourages passive consumption

I'm not so sure about this. In my case (and I know I'm not alone as I read other people doing the same in the issues discussions), I currently have a few alts depending on my mood

one for general topics
one for casual topics
one for tech topics
one for memes

It's a bit cumbersome to handle, so being able to have those different feeds in the same account would be nice. Not so sure about it impacting participation, as it seems that people using alts at the moment are regular posters
