> now I have to keep multiple accounts with hopefully my same online handle just to see all my communities I’m subscribed to in a single feed like Reddit does?

better than losing literally everything because beehaw shut down. I already manage multiple accounts for multiple types of communities (including HN), at least the interfaces between these sites are somewhat similar and under a common protocol.

>I want a “front page to the internet.”

I'd rather not have all my eggs in one basket at this point.

But this did oddly remind me of RSS feeds, which were meant to do all this. Minus the modern UI, of course. Do these federated communities support RSS?

At least for Lemmy, every page you go to you’ll find a link to an RSS feed. Even down to your own profile’s comments!

It gives you the ability to fine tune and subscribe to whatever filter you desire.

That’s a really good point actually. I’d definitely take the time to setup RSS feeds for each thing if it gave me the sort of experience I’m after. I’ll miss the comments sections though since that’s where a ton of golden information from Reddit came from.
