@Iconfactory@iconfactory.world 1. I am enjoying the app so far. I’m still trying to figure out how to handle the different streams given each has their own volume which might led to missing RSS items among too many toots and blueskies. 2. Based on the few days experience, I feel the area where the app could improve is feed fetching: every refresh results in many, many errors, most of them cause by a 60s timeout. 2.1 Additionally, it's not clear if I should retry a refresh immediately, wait, leave the app do it later. Thanks for the app!

@al3x@hachyderm.io If you’re getting timeout errors on feeds like slow blogs I and they are repeat offenders, remove them. Tapestry can only wait so long to finish refreshing and MUST time out after 60 secs. If you’re getting errors on Bluesky & mastodon something isn’t set up right or there are local problems with the instance. Also the more you manually refresh the more API limits you’ll hit which will only make things worse. Occasional manual refreshing is fine but doing it often will slow things down.

@al3x@hachyderm.io yep, putting slow blogs or feeds into their own timeline is a good idea so they don’t clog your primary timeline. We’ve made a custom home timeline that excludes the worst offenders and use that as primary reading instead of “All Feeds” works much better. Hope that helps and thanks for the kind words!
