accessing, using a database system, a plurality of communities of users of a social networking system associated with the database system, each community maintained in the social networking system to have a respective subset of the users as members and to have a respective social network feed dedicated to the community;

causing display, in a user interface on a display of a device of a first user of the social networking system, of one or more selections operable to assign communities and records stored in one or more databases to one or more cross-community streams, each record having a respective social network feed dedicated to the record in the social networking system;

obtaining a first request from the first user device to assign a first subset of the communities and assign a first subset of the records to a first cross-community stream, the first request indicating user selection of the first subset of communities and the first subset of records by the first user;

assigning the first subset of communities and the first subset of records to the first cross-community stream;

generating or updating, responsive to assigning the first subset of communities and the first subset of records, the first cross-community stream to include feed content of:

respective social network feeds dedicated to communities in the first subset of communities, and

respective social network feeds dedicated to records in the first subset of records; and

causing display, in the user interface, of a presentation of a first community of the plurality of communities, the presentation comprising a graphical element selectable to cause display of the generated or updated first cross-community stream without navigating away from the presentation of the first community in the user interface.

9. The method of claim 8 , the method further comprising:

obtaining a second request, from a device of a second user of the social networking system, to access the first cross-community stream;

determining, using the database system, that a user identity (ID) associated with the second user is both:

one of a plurality of first user identities (IDs) of a first plurality of users belonging to a first community, and

one of a plurality of second user identities (IDs) of a second plurality of users belonging to a second community; and

causing display, on a display of the second user device, of the first cross-community stream.

10. The method of claim 9 , the method further comprising:

determining, based on a first one of a plurality of permission sets stored in a database of the database system, that the second user has permission to access content associated with the first cross-community stream.

11. The method of claim 8 , the method further comprising:

causing display of, on a display of a device of a second user of the social networking system, a cross-community stream selection presentation, the cross-community stream selection presentation comprising:
