Delete custom feeds on Reddit

Using Custom Feeds on Reddit, you can combine multiple sub-reddit into one customizable feed if you want all posts and threads related to a particular topic in one place. For example, you can create a custom fitness feed and add all sports, health, yoga, and other related communities to the feed.

To create a custom flow, visit a subreddit page, tap the menu at the top right and click Add to custom feed. Then press Create a custom feed and give it a name. You can then add other communities to this feed or create other feeds.

Unfortunately, the Reddit app doesn't seem to have an option to edit added communities or remove the custom feed. So if you want to remove a custom feed from your Reddit, you will need to do so on the desktop version of the site.
