It's easy enough to do within the current framework by setting up a set of tags that are stated and searchable in the sidebar of what would be your top level subverse. So tag news posts with [news] then you can search gaming for news related posts.
Not really moderators can link the flair search in the sidebar. It could also automatically be added by Voat. The big thing would be getting people to use it. So I would suggest being able to flair your post of the submit page and if the subverse has flair in abled make it required, if the mod wants to.

That is great idea and it make a lot of sense but I have a question. Have you thought who would the mods be? Would they have to approve the sub-subverses?
And to build on your idea, content could belong to more than one sub-subverse when you were unsure where to submit it.
Edit: OMG!!!!! :) My first DownGoat on Voat!! :) Thank you kind stranger ... although I do not understand why.

I actually think this is a bad idea. While you might think it will help organize, it will actually make it very confusing and you'll have conflicting sub-subs. Like there will be a /v/gaming/dota and a /v/dota, so the content will be split.
I think the best idea is to simple allow a post to be part of multiple subs. So more like a tagging system - similar to the way Stackexchange works.

Voat has a feature called "sets" in which people can create a public playlist of sorts for subverses. The popular sets will be easy for anyone to sub to, and instantly have all the /v/gaming subverses shown. Click "my sets" above to see it in action.

I saw those yesterday, but I think that is kind of the opposite side of the problem. Sets take a bunch of things that are kind of related, and groups them together, whereas I'm thinking of something that would take things that are more closely related and break them down into smaller parts, while still maintaining the bigger whole.

Joined today and I don't understand why you're not allowed to do this. Are you not? I will read up on this.

I like the idea, and it would certainly help with the redundancy that is prevalent in Reddit. Like you said, though, who knows if it can be put in place.
