Description

Would it be possible to add the ability to pin combined subreddits, such as r/comics+bandedessinee, to the home screen? They are currently accessible through the find-location prompt. Otherwise, is there a way to edit pinned subs in clear text in the app files?

I would like to view without logging in, so without using reddit's multireddit functionality

Possibly related to #15 #566 #568 #1083 #1217 #1156 #700

I saw bishtawi's contribution to #1217, but am unfamiliar with what it would take to recompile with this functionality enabled, which would largely solve my issue, but it would be useful to be able to browse separate batches of subreddits, each pinned to the home screen, which this would not solve.

Thank you very much and great work!

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing find-location prompt and the current home-screen pinning behavior. Check how subreddit locations are stored and determine what must change so combined subreddit strings can be pinned, browsed without logging in, and kept as separate home-screen batches.
