Reddit had a feature where you're able to configure multireddits, or basically a custom feed of select subreddits and only those, kinda like a preset subscribe list. Does Jerboa have this feature?

My use case for this is that I only subscribe to communities related to tech to keep my core feed clean. Specially during short breaks during work hours I don't want to open Jerboa and bump into other stuff. But I have other interests, like most people.

So it would be nice to have a feed of communities focused on politics even though I'm not subscribed to those communities. And another one focused on random interests like documentaries, books, etc (which I'm not subscribed to either).

I believe this should be part of the back end though, and not a frontend-only thing, in order to have sync between clients (like smartphone, tablet, PC). Having to redo lists in each frontend would be a pain when lists can have many dozens of entries. (During the dark ages of reddit I remember hitting the 100 limit at some point.)

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
