I think this requires support from Piefed API which doesn't exist right now.

I thought about this a bit more. The issue with multi-communities is that because they are client sided, they can put a lot of load on the server and they are much slower the more communities there are. I can definitely combine the two features into one but I don't have high hopes it will actually work well. There is also a limit on the number of communities in a multi-community at the moment and some of the topics defintely go over that limit.

I will need to think about this more but I think I can commit to at least having some way to view topics/feeds in the app to start.
