✨ Feature parity: Customfeed or Multireddit url support #202

Open openwick opened 1 month ago

openwick commented 1 month ago

How does this feature work on Reddit?

Users can create customfeeds and have unique urls and can be viewed and shared with any one like https://www.reddit.com/user/rollidgeli/m/cattos for example.

Describe how this could be implemented into Redlib

Redlib currently doesn't support these urls. Would be great if redlib can scrape these too. Replace https://www.reddit.com/user/rollidgeli/m/cattos/ with [ Instance url]/user/rollidgeli/m/cattos/ as an example so it can be viewed just like other regular reddit feeds. ## Describe alternatives you've considered Currently we can add + to create multireddits but if I want to follow or view those reddit specific custom feeds we cant. ## Additional context / screenshot

Basically the request summed up in below image. If redlib can support those urls too that would be great.

Kind of a workaround here, and a bit of annoying one, but. If you go to

https://old.reddit.com/user/rollidgeli/m/cattos,

you can select all of the subreddits that are on the right side. Copy them to a text editor that supports search and replace.

replace all instances of /r/ with +, then just revert the FIRST + back to /r/, append this new URL to your redlib instance. By the end you should have something like:

http://localhost:8080/r/AnimalsBeingDerps+blackcats+cat+catbellies+Catculations+Catloaf+cats+CatsAreAssholes+CatsStandingUp+Catswhoyell+Catswithjobs+CatTaps+jellybeantoes+KneadyCats+OneOrangeBraincell+PeanutWhiskers+PetTheDamnCat+StartledCats+StoppedWorking+SupermodelCats+Thisismylifemeow+toebeans

And it you can more or less save that URL as a bookmark, to have a workaround custom feed. Potentially you can also add new subreddits, by appending their name to the url, with a + in front.

@gothrek22 Thanks but I already knew that. Even mentioned in the description above.

Just want to have these urls being supported if possible instead of doing all that work :)
