How to browse multi Subreddits at once without account on Reddit
When you sign up on Reddit you get a boatload of new privileges on the site.This includes participation in the comment system, the option to vote for posts, or the fantastic option to customize the start page of the service by subscribing to subreddits you are interested in, and unsubscribing from those that you do not want to be represented on your start page.
If you do not sign in to your account or do not have an account, for whatever reason, you are left with the standard selection of popular subreddits on the start page. This includes the several image groups that are usually well represented, as well as other groups that you may or may not be interested in at all.
What you may not know is that it is possible to create so called multi pages on Reddit. It is basically a mix of several subreddits that you specify. This multi group is displayed like the start page on Reddit, but with the advantage that you do not have to sign in to access it.
Multi Groups on Reddit
To create your first multi group on Reddit, do the following:
- Use the web address http://www.reddit.com/r/ as your base.
- Add the first group at the end of it just like you would do normally, e.g. http://www.reddit.com/r/technology.
- Instead of tapping on the enter key to load it, append a + character after the group name and add a second group to it, e.g. http://www.reddit.com/r/technology+microsoft.
- You have created your first multi group.
You can load that group right away, or add more groups to it using the same system (always separate with a plus character followed by the group name.
All selected groups share the same hot, new, rising, controversial and top listings based on Reddit's algorithm.
Note: Multi groups are not saved by default. The best course of action in my opinion is to add them to the bookmarks, or keep the page that displays it open at all times in your web browser of choice.
Handy side note: Imgur uses the very same system. Use http://imgur.com/r/ as your base url. Add picture groups to it to display them all at once on the site, e.g. http://imgur.com/r/pics+funny.
Closing Words
The multi feature on Reddit may come in handy if you do not want to sign up on the site, or cannot sign in at the time, for instance if you are using a public computer that you do not trust.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
When will you put an end to the mess in the comments?
Ghacks comments have been broken for too long. What article did you see this comment on? Reply below. If we get to 20 different articles we should all stop using the site in protest.

No surprises here. This is just the beginning really. I cannot see a valid reason as to why anyone would continue to use the platform anymore when there are enough alternatives fill that void.
