Very high error-rate fetching subscribed feed (feddit.nl)

When trying to load my subscribed feed, more often than not I get an error. It tries for about 20 seconds but then times out. This happens with infinite scrolls too, it takes a while before I can actually see new posts.

While this is much more common on this Lemmy instance (feddit.nl) than e.g. my alt account on lemmynsfw, the official web-UI doesn't have this issue at all, nor does Photon (at least, the web-app hosted at ph.feddit.nl).

There doesn't seem to be a difference between 4g, 5g and wifi, and turning on/off rethink dns doesn't change anything either. I've also tried toggling the https over dns option, which again does not have any impact.

Reboots, force stopping and clearing cache also do not have an effect.

If anyone else experiences similar problems, or has a potential solution, I'd gladly hear them.

Sync is falling way out of spec with lemmy at this point due to the lack of updates. See this thread for more info. The dev said he "hoped to update over the holidays" when someone reached out, but he hasent done so.

I've swapped over to summit, a FOSS app that is deeply customizable, has great gesture support, and is actively being supported. A lot of my sync issues like the above disappeared.

I highly recommend it.
