Internet speed shouldn’t make that big a difference in a site like Lemmy. If you’re on mobile, consider trying an app (or a different app if you’re already using one). If PC, maybe a different browser? I use Firefox, at about 50 mbps according to www.speedtest.net - lemmy loads up nearly instantly.
Another option is to use filters instead of blocks. I don’t know of a way to do it on PC, but many mobile apps support filters. You’ll have to find the right balance of being broad enough to zap all the redundant communities, but specific enough to not zap the unrelated ones that you might be interested in seeing. IMO that’s more effort than just blocking, but if internet speed is a barrier, that would make for a good plan B.

Yeah, well, not everyone lives in an ideal situation. Fuck me, right?

If you’re not able to try different apps, browsers, or filters, you do appear to be fucked.

I run it on PC through a mobile hotspot. For whatever reason lemmy seems to be the only site that regularly chugs like that for me. And yes, the fact I appear to be fucked is the point of this post, to inform anyone who cares of a rare use case which makes the site very difficult to use recently.
