Hello hello,

We’ve made some changes to Multireddits that we’d like to share with you. Also, a fun contest! Let’s get to it...

What’s New

New Name: Multireddits → Custom Feeds

Multireddits have been around a long time. They are a way for redditors to curate communities into shareable feeds and can help newer redditors discover more communities. However, they haven’t been widely adopted. In order to prevent confusion, we will be changing the name from Multireddits to “Custom Feeds.” Sometimes simple is better.

More Support

We’ve added more support to new Reddit and our iOS app for Custom Feeds. Now, redditors can create a new Custom Feed, add or remove communities from them, duplicate other redditors' feeds, and change the privacy settings. Previously, this was something you could only do from old Reddit. We’ll be adding support for Custom Feeds on Android in the near future.

New Follow Functionality

You can now follow another redditor’s Custom Feed (as long as it’s set to Public). This means that when you follow a feed it will appear on your list of Custom Feed subscriptions and when that redditor adds another community to the feed, you’ll see that update the next time you open the feed. This will be super useful for communities that want to keep a running feed of related communities, or for folks that have a specific ever-evolving interest that they want to share with others.

Improved Sharing

We’ve made some tweaks to the URL structure of your Custom Feed so that it’s easier to share with others. No more accidentally sharing a URL with /me/ in it that won’t work for anyone else. We’ve also created a new privacy category for public custom feeds, Hidden, that can be accessed by anyone with the link but will not show up on your profile.

Spaces

You can now have spaces in the name of your Custom Feed. Enough said.

Mix and Match

Follow a mix of communities and profiles.

Coming Soon

In the near future communities will be able to create Custom Feeds that are owned by the community, rather than an individual. This will also support turning the Related Communities sidebar widget into a feed. We are also going to be building ways for you to see popular and trending Custom Feeds.

The Contest

We are investing in this feature because we believe redditors are great at finding niche communities and we want more people to discover all of the unique communities that we have. Now for the gold part! We are holding a one-week contest for the best Custom Feeds created by redditors. The winners will receive Coins and bragging rights.

To submit your Custom Feed, reply to the top-level sticky comment with a link to your Custom Feed and the category it best fits under. It must be public. Please only submit one feed per category.

Here are the categories that we will award winners from:

• Aww
• Artist Resources
• Beauty
• Books & Writing
• Cool Pictures (images only)
• Discussion (text only)
• Fashion
• Food & Cooking
• Health & Fitness
• Music
• Parenting
• Quirky
• Sports
• Travel
• Wholesome

We’ll be picking winners based on a combination of the number of followers the feed has, how many upvotes their comment entry has, and our internal voting. Winners will be announced in a follow-up post next week.

Here are some custom feeds to get you started (many of which are mine):

• Some of my favorite communities
• Some of my voice and singing communities
• Animal Subbies (If you know of any cute-animal subs I missed, please comment below)
• Asks
• Some Admins’ favorites that were mentioned in this r/askreddit thread a few months ago

See the sticky comment below to enter your Custom Feed.

Edit: Added a quirky category
