I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.
A relay could represent a community.
And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on
This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server
Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.
Maybe a community of bird photographers, or a cognitive science community, or a community of open-source software developers, etc.

Made by Bay Area native @ricohabano.bsky.social, this custom feed is better than any single website or channel — it includes print and video sources like @SFistNews, 48 Hills, @sfchronicle, @kqed, @bside and more.

On March 10, 2025, #Flipboard CEO and Co-founder @mike McCue took to the stage of the #FediverseHouse at #SXSW to show off #Surf, a new kind of #socialbrowser and a way to bring your communities together via #customfeeds

Top o' the list in this week’s release is publish your Surf feeds to Bluesky and a new feature: the ability to pin posts.
Pinned posts are great for setting tone and context for people new to your feed. Use them to suggest hashtags and other ways for followers to participate, and add a link to the full feed (if your feed is also published to Bluesky — more on that here https://bsky.app/profile/surf.social/post/3lnnpyqge5c2p).
As always, please let us know what you think by sending notes to feedback@surf.social. And thank you for testing with us!
If you use Bluesky, you may be interested in today’s news that now you can publish Surf feeds to Bluesky.
We’d love for you to test with us if you want! Here's more details:

@zsotykai is a board game aficionado whose Surf feed contains game news, podcasts like The Dice Tower and Shut Up & Sit Down, and YouTube channels like No Rolls Barred and Board Game Barrage. If you wanna jump to just the new podcasts or videos, go to the Listen and Watch tabs, respectively. (This applies to any feed!)

Well, it’s a lucky day . Our latest update contains a pot o’ gold for the Bluesky community especially. Take a look at what’s in this release, including linking your Bluesky account to Surf, a new Home Timeline that unifies your Bluesky and Mastodon, and Bluesky notifications in our app.
I think what @light wants is a Fediverse Custom Feed (rather than a List).
RE: https://mastodon.social/@light@noc.social/114162333801375136
Exciting news: Now you can link your Bluesky account to Surf, bringing your Mastodon and Bluesky communities together in one place.
Cruise over to Settings (gear icon, top left) and select Manage Accounts to link your account.
We've just started testing these features and would love to hear your thoughts here or email feedback@ surf.social.
Thanks for testing with us, #DawnPatrolBeta
Here's what's been going down in these waters: Lots of polish for our #DawnPatrolBeta testers, plus many cool #SurfFeeds to browse and some #ipad love.
