I'm yet to encounter the majority of issues I hear Lemmings griping about. Everyone has been pretty civil toward me. Every time my inbox blows up I feel dread, only to open it and find zero confrontation or vitriol. I'm not running into any racists, sexists, bigots, etc., and I certainly haven't noticed a decline in content (I browse Top ~6 Hours).

I realize my personal experience doesn't equate to these problems not existing, but I do get the strong impression that people are exaggerating greatly.

I've been active for a month and in my opinion too many users have radicalised and extremist mindsets, but other than that it's alright.

Going back to reddit would mean to install that unbearable app they have and having to deal with incompetent admins, so I will stay here for some time.

I can see why it's off-putting for a lot of people though.

Exactly my experience as well. Sure, I don't have infinite scroll, but I also don't feel like an algorithm is trying to make me angry. When I get responses, they're typically thoughtful or on topic.

infinite scroll

Depends on the client you are using.

For phone or tablets try using the Voyager native app.

For browser try m.lemmy.world which is just the web version of Voyager.

There are other clients like old.lemmy.world for that “authentic” feel.
