feature request: custom feeds

Right now there are three feeds available to me, that, as far as I can tell, I have minimal control over.

It'd be rad if there was a way to add feeds, and for each feed, be able to manually select communities I'd like to see.

This would be great for news, porn, sports, pornography, adult content, and so much more.

That's not how it works.
You need to set up an account on a Lemmy instance and log into it using Connect.
You can then subscribe to specific communities with that identity.
If you want to have different types of feeds, set up different identities, ideally on different instances.
'All' is basically 'new' for everything that anyone on that instances subscribe to
'Local' is what's new for that instance
'Front page' is what you are subscribed to
If you check top right there are various sorting algorithms such as 'hot'/ 'active'/'top'
- That's not how it works.
  ... yes it is, lol.
  There is nothing that would stop connect devs from adding a + button next to the feeds, and allowing you to manually create your own.
  This is a feature request. I'm not asking if it's possible, because it is.
  
  I see. So for comparison what do you see for this when you access lemmy via a desktop web browser?
