I really enjoy multi-communities in Summit. I organized interesting communities into groups so that I can browse each one according to my mood.

(Being restricted to just 30 communities per multi-community is not very convenient though)

I don’t need to subscribe to communities anymore. All my accounts have the same multi-communities. But, I can’t use them outside summit.

Is this a good approach? Any other ways to organize your subscriptions?

    I use Multi-communities for communities that I like, but I don’t want on my home page for whatever reason.

    One is also a multi-community for smaller communities that treat the same argument.

    It’s a handy feature and I love it, although it’s a bit unfortunate that I can’t easily access those communities on other devices.

    Hello! I can explain the 30 limit. Basically multi-communities are currently implemented client sided which means whenever you refresh, the client will manually fetch posts from every community and then turn those posts into a feed in a smart way that respects your sort order (currently multi-community sort is broken due to a bug but that’s being fixed in the next release). This means that if you have 200 communities in a multi-community, the client will need to hit the server at least 200 times each time you refresh the post feed. To be nice to servers the client imposes a limit so that each user isn’t spamming the server too much.

    The way you are using multi-communities is novel and not well supported.

    In the future, multi-communities should become supported server side so this limitation might go away.
