Thanks for the feedback!
The Following page (and the Huddles page) are both in dire need of a makeover. It's definitely on my list of things to do.
I have a (very-roughly) prioritised list of things that I want to work on in the readme.
Recently I've been focusing on missing functionality like the quote-replies, profile picker and I want to work on comment editing next.
Regarding the infinite-scroll - I totally agree that it's somewhat disorientating. I have a couple of ideas on how to improve it: one is a slide-in scroll bar, a bit like the one in Google Photos, which shows you metadata while you scroll. In Google Photos it shows you something like month and year, but I could show page number and/or date. Something like that.
The other idea is what I'm calling the navigation-lozenge. It's an idea I've taken from another app, and it's basically a page-up/page-down button at the bottom of the screen, within thumb reach. I'll probably try them both and and see which works best.

Love having this app! It's so good. Having used it for a bit here are a few nitpicks from my user perspective I hope you don't take any offence, absolutely none is intended :)
There are a few bits on the 'following' page that feel... unneeded perhaps? Or draw my eye away from the content: the big icon on the left, the background tablet style (could be a simple line), the 'new comment in a thread...' alongside the dot, are they doing the same job?
I prefer page limits to endless scroll, not sure why, guess it grounds you in how much stuff there is to scroll through.
The icons at the bottom and page titles could follow more strictly: Forums, Following etc. or Home, Updates etc. if you are choosing that style.
