Description

This may be out of RedReader's control?

Let's say I'm subbed to a popular sub "popular" and an obscure sub "obscure". The "popular" sub posts will have a heap of 🔼🔼🔼points while "obscure" may only have 🔼3 points.

When choosing Front Page, Top, I will see only the posts from "popular" as they have heaps of votes. The "obscure" posts will be buried.

Could we have an option to limit the number of posts shown from each subreddit when viewing all subscribed subs? Eg

The image shows what would happen if the view was limited to just 2 of the most popular posts from each subscribed sub.

This means I don't have to visit all my subs individually to view their most popular content, and I don't miss that content either.

Thoughts?

Research direction

Start at the Front Page, Top view and trace how posts from all subscribed subreddits are selected. Check whether the current Reddit listing flow can support a per-subreddit limit and how an option would fit the existing view. Done means users can choose a limit and see top posts from each subscribed subreddit without popular communities burying smaller ones.
