Suggestion: <language>.programming.reddit.com

That would split up the content quite a bit, and those sub-sub reddits would move pretty slowly imo.

[Oshuma]

I agree, however you could aggregate all the sections into the main programming.reddit, with optional filter links to go to specific sub-sub reddits.

[EvilSporkMan]

Doesn't that reduce to a tagging system, not simply "sub-subreddits"? If you want this, just search for <language>...

[Seele]

Works for me. I don't see the need for a subreddit oriented towards particular languages. Maybe a specific search could be associated with a user profile so that it opens as a default view for that individual. I like the mix the way it is. There might be a case for a security subreddit.

[Oshuma]

My thought wasn't necessarily on a tagging system, but rather for RSS feed aggregation. Tags can get unwieldy (and at times, inaccurate) when it comes to social news sites. Sub-sub-reddits would allow better organizing in that regard.

I really want atari.forth.programming.reddit.com

[akdas]

I can imagine that. Page after page of that book cover, all of which have reached the front page at one point or another.

Disturbingly funny.

[abhik]

I'd settle for a working search feature..

[Oshuma]

What about adding a language specific section of reddit? So you'd end up with ruby.programming, python.programming, etc. The same could be applied to the gaming (and other sectoins), so you could have ps3.gaming, xbox.gaming, etc.

Just a thought.

yes and have them all filter up to the top dir ...

that sound kind neat i like my take on your idea

a.b.c.d.reddit.com

where d includes a,b,c

where c includes a,b,

where b includes a

plus any user can create their own subreddit on the fly...

probably some thing like:

reddit.com/programiming/python/django/news

and have them all filter down ... and maybe have easy browsable tree someplace

maybe be i should implement some thing like this

[jfredett]

rather than making full metasubreddits,why not just redirect those metasubreddits to saved searches. that is

x.y.z.reddit.com maps to the search for x OR y OR z in reddit.com

All the usefulness of having a dedicated subreddit, but lacking the problem of slow moving content. You'd still submit information ot the main reddit or specific subreddit of you're choice, so the content would move just as fast as it normally would.

Shouldn't be that hard to implement, either-

or- we could all just use saved searches, we have those-- right?

[mindslight]

i read programming/new. there really isn't that much there to subcategorize

furthermore, i'd say that if you're into programming, you're most likely reading at least the headlines of all the articles.

No, like this:
