Reading filters?

I really like (although I know some people find the adjustment difficult) the distinction between people you read, and people you want to have access, because that is how I have always thought of friending on lju anyway, and the unfortunate conjunction was just something I had to hack around.

BUT: some of my filters on lj were reading filters so that I could have separate pages, not because I distinguish between the people who I friend, and the people I actually read, just because sometimes I wanted to catch up on my friends, and sometimes I wanted to catch up on communities, and sometimes I wanted to catch up on syndicated feeds. Like, for example, you can go to http://brown-betty.livejournal.com/friends/communities and see just the communities I'm subscribed to. (I believe.)

Is that no longer possible on DW?

It's one of the reasons I love the navbar and don't understand why people hate it. Okay, yes, it can make you're beautiful, delicately crafted layout look a bit rubbish, hanging out there on top, but it's so damn useful and on DW even more useful because it tells you if there's anything in your inbox. I'm thinking of turning off all email notification because the nav bar makes inbox access so easy, and not two clicks away like it is on LJ.
