About every other week with the self-watering pot, whereas it'd be weekly in a normal pot!

Oh agreed! I'm rereading Dune right now to refresh my memory before the movie later this year and I love the characters, but at the same time I understand where the criticism comes from.

I don't think it's a translation problem; the second book has a different translator and if anything, the characters are even less realistic.

Fwiw I tried this experiment again on my lemm.ee account to make sure it wasn’t instance-specific:

• 200 communities: no issues
• 201 communities: a couple duplicates
• 205 communities: more duplicates
• 210 communities: duplicates and communities out of order

Sure, I tried deleting and reinstalling and was not able to reproduce the duplication issue, though the slow loading/page jumping around/lack of responsiveness is still present.

Out of curiosity I tried subscribing to a new community and the bug reappeared, though not as bad this time:

I tried reinstalling again and the bug still persisted. I then unsubscribed from a community bringing my subscription count to 200 and that seems to have resolved the duplicate entries for now.

I'm having problems with the communities tab in the most recent release. Entries are sometimes getting duplicated or showing out of order, and I'm experiencing stuttering and slow loading. The app is slow to respond if I try to navigate away from the communities tab- sometimes taking several clicks or seconds to respond- while responsiveness in other tabs is normal. The battery usage has also been noticeably higher than before. I'm on an iPhone 11 pro, 16.5.1.

• The duplication seemed to continue the longer I stayed in the tab and would cause jumping to other areas without any input on my part.
• Duplicate entries are clickable links that lead to the correct communities.
• The issue seems worse the more communities I'm subscribed to. I'll attach screenshots from the account with the most subscriptions, but other accounts show only one or two duplicates and my account with the fewest subscriptions didn't have any issues. I unsubscribed from a few on this account and am no longer seeing duplicate entries but am still experiencing the slow loading/high battery usage.
• Unrelated but certain subscriptions are missing from the tab, notably !kbinMeta@kbin.social. This community shows up under my communities in other apps I'm testing, but not in Bean; maybe because the display name starts with a / and the other apps are sorting by the actual link?

Joined, this seems promising! I appreciate the defederation from the most harmful instances with an open policy otherwise. Also appreciate the ability to create communities and upload images. Thanks for creating this instance and good luck with growing it!
