I run it on PC through a mobile hotspot. For whatever reason lemmy seems to be the only site that regularly chugs like that for me. And yes, the fact I appear to be fucked is the point of this post, to inform anyone who cares of a rare use case which makes the site very difficult to use recently. If they don't prioritize fixing it, or if it's somehow prohibitively difficult that's just fine, I'm not entitled to a working site, especially with my unique situation, but I wanted to report the emerging problem. If it keeps going like this how long will it be before people with perfectly fine connections simply don't have the time to block enough communities to actually get rid of them (some guy said he had to block ~900 communities to get to where he wanted).
