I also did not come here for politics.
I came here as an alternative to reddit.
What I did to fix it was to find similar Lemmy communities to those subreddits. I also set up filtering to block out key words, names, etc.
It makes it a lot more bearable.
One thing I’ve noticed, Lemmy and Reddit are run in a large part by content bots when it comes to non-politics. There are some exceptions. I recommend you make peace with the bots and appreciate the content (all the while contributing content yourself of course).
Chiming in from a USA user. Their webmail and suite run slow in the USA. Once it loads the page initially though, it uses localstorage.
However, back when I used them less than a year ago, they had random periods where the websuite did not load.
Finally, they have a really bad 2fa implementation that is not documented and I had to search Reddit to figure out how to log in.
