New Multireddits Customize Your Reddit Homepage

Get ready to hone your time-wasting skills.

After two months of beta testing, Reddit released a new feature called "multireddits," which allows users to view specific, customized groups of subreddits as opposed to the default front page. Reddit moderator chromakode announced the feature in a blog post that generated nearly 2,000 comments — most of which are negative.

Multireddits can be started, viewed and customized through a new sidebar located on the left edge of the front page. Many of the announcement's top comments detail complaints about the feature's obtrusiveness, though the new sidebar is easily hidden by clicking the arrow on its right edge. Regardless, a few users have already found and posted multiple methods for disabling the feature completely.
