Yeah, I'm missing this so hard from Reddit :( It should be possible to group subs I'm not subscribed to too!

This isn't a bad idea, but I think my priority in that situation would be some kind of feature the suppresses duplicate posts. I sub to multiple world news communities for example because they do get different posts, but also people post the same thing in several communities at the same time so I see a lot of duplicate posts. And only seeing news f.ex would only make the dupes even more frequent because they're not interspersed with other communities.
If I understand it right, this is a feature developed from inception on Piefed. I'll just say it here: it's like multireddits. They have default comm group feed, at least on piefed.social. But you also can make your own group feed. Just like multireddit.
I personally would move to a piefed instance once it's more developed and have more choices for front end client / mobile app, since that's the biggest thing I miss from reddit.
Edit: and IIRC piefed also group same posts from different duplicate / similar comms into one "post".
I was literally in the middle of thinking about community groups when I came across your post, I think a lot of people would use this feature.
