  I think it's fine posting lots of stuff on the social feeds. The forum is there for people who want long lasting discussions, so it shouldn't matter if the feeds page is bombarded by lots of posts. Even though a lot of people use the site, most people seem very quiet and don't want to talk, so it's good that users like yourself are keeping the site a bit more lively.
  
  As there's no indication of which readings are the more commonly used ones, I think it would be crazy to try to remember all the readings. Of course, because you don't know which ones will come up in the lesson test, you will need to make sure to look at everything and try to at least remember it short-term for the test.
  
  I don't know how you can find out which readings are the most common, as a lot of online dictionaries like jisho.org show the readings in Japanese alphabetical order.
  
  Slime Forest Adventure teaches one single reading for each kanji, which is just the most commonly used reading (usually an on'yomi). The other readings are picked up from when it teaches kun'yomi words and compound words. This seems like a good way to learn readings, just learning the most common reading and picking up the lesser used readings from their use in words.
  
  I'm not sure what order JCJP lists the readings in, but I just checked a few lessons and it seems the most common kun'yomi and on'yomi are listed first before the less common ones. So maybe focus more on the first readings? idk.
  
  I think it's better to ignore readings for the most part and just pick them up while you are learning vocabulary words. You should automatically start to notice which readings are most commonly used for each kanji. ^^
