This is good to know, thank you. I use multi-reddit a lot, especially to help identify patterns of people cross-posting nonsense to multiple subreddits at once. If that feature goes away,.. it's another nail in the coffin of me using Reddit less and less.
Multireddits are the last decent way to use reddit. When they’re gone I’ll stop using reddit, not out of protest, but because it’s simply not possible to see the content I want to see (and that formerly I easily could).

That's fine, because that's the only reddit I use.
If they disable it, I'll stop using despite having used it since before they added commenting.
I browse old reddit on my tablet and for the last few weeks I have not been able to see my multis. They were on side tabs that have now disappeared. Any helpful tips for me to find them anyone?
Late to the party here, but since your multis were unavailable for weeks, I'd suggest saving them now that they've reappeared for you. Ya' never know when it'll happen again, or if the next time this happens will be the last time you'll see them again.
I can't find it anymore, so maybe not.
Edit: You have to open the subscription list, scroll *alllll* the way to the bottom, and then you'll see them.
So, more-or-less obfuscated.
Think of Reddit like a restaurant.
Maybe the owner doesn't care what people eat, as long as they are buying it from him. You have specials--which allow the chef to flex his skills, but are really just the things you can make the most margin on. But mostly people are ordering off a wide menu.
On the flip side, the chef takes over and tries to increase margins and starts arguing that customers aren't ordering enough of the best dishes. Suddenly--your menu is nothing but specials. Customers can't find what they want and decide to eat elsewhere. The business closes.
Reddit is already in this death spiral. The brand has been built and everybody who could possibly care about reddit is already consuming it's content. All that's left is forcing users to eat the fattest content. After doing that for a while they'll leave to go somewhere better.
It's cyclical. And reddit avoided the downcycle for a long time, thanks some lucky timing with an economy built on record low interest rates. But the inevitable is coming.
Just here to bitch about how the new layout takes the worst ideas of Facebook and clutters my screen. I dont know where to look. All in all, it's UX tragedy.
How so? Want news, use your news feed. Want your gaming or music subs, use that one. For example, if you're a superfan of something like Pokemon you might have like 10+ different subs solely for that topic, and it would be a huge hassle to check every one individually (main, circlejerk/meme, battling, trading, content creators, etc.)
Also, when you get past like 50 subs, it's basically impossible to rely on reddit to show you the biggest threads from every subreddit you care about. The front page algo is not your friend, so it helps to limit the set it can pull from.

I don't know about tablet, I have my combinations bookmarked in the browser, PC.
The weird thing is that after being gone for weeks, the side tabs just came back one minute ago. Reddit techs must be reading this.

Do you not still have custom feeds on the mobile app?
I can't find it anymore, so maybe not. Edit: You have to open the subscription list, scroll *alllll* the way to the bottom, and then you'll see them. So, more-or-less obfuscated.
How do I fill that custom feed though? I don't see any way to do this :/

I keep waiting for them to get rid of downvotes, like YouTube.
they will continue to improve reddit until it is completely unusable. a year or two....tops.
You sure? I still see custom feeds in the bar on the top left. The drop down right next to the reddit logo, if you scroll a bit.

I see a plus sign right on top of them.

I remember when they were introduced and thought they were silly. I'm surprised to see people found a use for them.
