I subscribe to really many communities to always have some new content to look at. I also have some communities which I'm particularly interested in which sadly are quite low volume like !korea@lemmy.funami.tech !vaeter@feddit.org and !piefed_meta@piefed.social The problem is now that I most of the time miss posts from those communities because they are such low volume.
In Mastodon I have the same problem, but there I was able to create a new column which I call Homies and it shows posts from a list of manually selected users from whom I don't want to miss any post.
I was thinking that something like that would be interesting to have, like we have the filters "Subscribed", "Local", "Popular", "All" I would imagine a "Favorites" one which would show only the posts from my favorite communities.
As a workaround for now I am letting PieFed to notify me of new posts in the four communities so I don't miss anything. How do you guys deal with this problem?
Yeah something like that, obviously it would need to change the DB schema to add is_favourite. I'm also not sure if a lot of people have this problem or if the notification solution is good enough for everyone.
I also browse by subscribed/new but when I sleep or work or am with my family - which combined is like 23,5 hours a day - then I'm not looking there and then it gets pushed down by the high volume of posts so I miss it.
