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?
It would be great to group notifications with different priorities as well. A mod report has a different weight than does a reply than does a notification that someone posted in a group. Perhaps something for a future roadmap?
Good idea, thanks.
I'll track work on this at https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/344
