Have a low flush toilet that doesn't flush much? Keep a container nearby, fill it up with water, and pour it in the bowl as you flush. (lemmy.ca)

I use an old mixed nuts container.

If you "let yellow mellow" the poop hole in your toilet may be calcified with piss crystals and causing a coronary. I replaced my toilet with similar issues and was shocked at how small the discharge was. We were shitting through the eye of a needle!

Different issue, but I'll do another LPT.

LPT: For calcium buildup, turn off the water, flush, them pour lots of vinegar through the overflow pipe - which goes through the siphon jet into the bowl. The vinegar will dissolve buildup. Let sit for hours. CLR will probably work too.
