Bean

A key draw for downloading Bean was the “group” function - some subject areas have good representation on more than one instance and I wanted to easily collect them all in a single view.

At the moment it seems that the group function does allow this, but with one big caveat - posts are seen effectively grouped by community (so sorting by new doesn’t mean you see all of the new posts from all of the communities in the group, all in chronological order - you see some posts from the first community in the group, then some from the second, then some from the third and so on).
