I find myself constantly switching between the two and it would be nice if we could see a combination of both in one place.

Eta: Basically I want to see all posts but prioritize my subscribed communities. Alternating between posts from both feeds seems like it could be an easy way to achieve this.

Agreed. This makes sense only if Subscribed were somehow weighted more heavily so it appeared to be Hotter or more Active, but that might need to be a Lemmy change rather than a SyncForLemmy change.

Instead of weighting posts, could also just do alternating posts from each list. With deduplication as well.

As @foo@lemmy.ca says, sort by NEW.

That would only really work well if you had an equal number / frequency of posts coming in on your 'Everything' and 'Subscription' feeds. Otherwise the posts from your subscriptions could pretty easily get 'overwhelmed'.

I think the idea is, see almost everything you are subscribed to, but also don't miss any very popular posts. Ideally I'd love to be able to specify the ratio even. Something like "show me 5 posts from my subscriptions, followed by 1 post from another feed (e.g. Everything)".
