But the magic of reddit is that I can browse all my communities in one place. Playstation, Audi, Cooking, Tennis. It's super convenient to have a single account for all of this.

Before I used reddit, I had an account at an Audi forum, a different account at a tennis forum etc.. Reddit is so much better. I'd rather some 'bluesky'-like competitor vs every community going their own way.

Not just in one place, but sorted by popularity, so that you don't need to read 100 headlines per day - you can just review the top 5 posts for the day across ALL the communities you're interested in.

Maybe the model going forward is to go back to the use of RSS feeds from each of the discrete sites that you frequent? Not sure if RSS is a thing these days though.

It is still a thing. News sites have them. Most bloggers I've come across do. HN even has one which is what I use.
