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 [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] 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 the notification bell is intended for this.

    However I find the notifications about new posts are mixed in with the notifications about replies to my comments, new registrations, etc which is a bit confusing and makes me not use the notification bell as much as I want to (because my notifs would be flooded with new post notifs).

    If notifications had a type and were grouped / sorted / paged by type then we could have a much greater volume of notifications.
