How Alexis Ohanian Built a Front Page of the Internet

I think that reddit needs SUPER-REDDITS - sub-reddit grouping.

I want to be able to categorize large swaths of reddit into variou buckets and see that page.

e.g. have a technology super-reddit, which includes /r/technology, /r/gadgets, /r/programming, etc.. etc.. etc..

And things like F712U, aww, pics, etc can be in other categories and I can ignore them.

Right now there are so many /r/ that we need some larger buckets to be able to consume them better.

You can group subreddits together with a + symbol between them - e.g. reddit.com/r/technology+gadgets+programming

I know, but I think that reddit still needs an actual super-reddit bucket rather than a cumbersome URL hack.

How would buckets work?

From what I understand, buckets would be counter to what sub-reddit splitting is trying to achieve.

For example: r/adviceanimals split from r/pics, this helped drive the noise/karma whoring to advice animals and reduced all meme related spam to that forum. Now today r/adviceanimals is going through its own drama and banning other types of posts which it considers noise.

How would you want to see that tied together?
