I've been using Connect for a couple of months now and really like it. I'm using the Beta on Kuro's recommendation for some (for me) killer features that I am looking to replicate on Desktop. I don't know if these features are now available in the main Connect release (yet?) but anyway:

• Filters: Exclude posts from your feed if post contains a filter word (regex)
• Community filters: Exclude communities from your feed if post contains a filter word (regex)
• Blocked instances

What's my most straightforward route to getting these on a desktop? I am using an M2 Mac, typically with Google Chrome, but I don't mind using an extension or a different browser for this.

I'm aware that I can install some iOS applications and can currently see

• Memmy for Lemmy
• Thunder for Lemmy
• Voyager for Lemmy
• Avelon for Lemmy
• Milem for Lemmy
• Liftoff! for Lemmy
• Lemmi (not a Lemmy app!)
• Lemmios
• Bean for Lemmy
• CheeseBot for Lemmy

but I can't readily find one which has these features and the mobile on desktop experience is not ideal. Also not keen on apps insisting on a login to even preview use.

I'm also aware that there are also android emulators for Mac but I don't have experience with these to know which if any of these might be suitable for daily use for my purpose.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I know it isnt exclusive to Connect, i noticed it too on other social media apps like facebook (don't judge me xd), and its the same effect: app start to slow scroll when reaching old posts from months ago or even years ago. Could extra ram help circumvent this ? my phone has 4gb ram, i am planning on upgrading for a phone that uses 8gb of ram+8gb of swap, would that help in this case ? thanks.

I really like the way Connect is evolving. However, one thing I can't seem to figure out is how to search for communities. Using other apps like Liftoff and Jerboa, I can easily just search for communities.

Here is an example of searching communities in Jerboa:
