So, how do you deal with communities that don’t interest you? I personally block them, because I don’t like them popping up on my All feed, but at the same time I don’t want to switch to Subscribed because a new interesting community might pop up.

What’s your strategy?

    I use Connect: i filter alot of undesired coms and instances so i could browse only interesting stuff. I filter alot that i get a runtime error, due to server overwhelmed with requests. Connect Dev said that the app will be optimized in a way that u could browse infinitly without compromising said filters or encountring such error. I feel my only bottleneck now is android ram, since browsing down the feed causes the phone to become sluggish and cause other background run apps to crash: probably considering getting a phone with extra ram (8gig with swap enabled? )

      Not sure what phone you have, but I’d wait a little if that’s the only reason for buying a new one, the optimizations will come.

        i had a tab s2 with 28nm soc, 3gig lpddr3 ram running android 7 and the app quickly crashes, now i use an infinix (random asian brand, but way better than the rest) with a 12nm soc 4 gig of ram (4 doesnt seem enough) and 10w slow charging, the next phone i consider buying would run android 13 with 16 gig of ram (swap included, well, unlocked at least), also includes 33w fast charging and a 6nm soc, kinda finding myself reasons to upgrade, but as u said i am waiting this out too: i wanted to run the app on my pc but also i would have to upgrade my laptop ram so my os could support the android emulator without hiccups. i considered running my own instance for this sake but kinda extreme…lemmy is addictive not gonna lie

          Just use sync, that was a ridiculous amount of text over an app that seems poorly optimized. I can’t even believe you typed all that to be honest.

            sync barely sends me notifications when there are ones. also i have to go through hoops to reach saved posts or comments. idk the menu isn’t all that intuitive. Back in the day, there weren’t only sync as a 3p client, so give other people some chance to prove themselves.
