This looks pretty promising, the only thing I miss from Barinsta is the customizeable and chronological view of the feed/a feed that only shows me the accounts I follow, but I guess I can live with that, thank you!

 

I've looked through most posts here and on reddit and it seems pretty bleak, but maybe someone here knows an app that's somehow miraculously unaffected by the rate limiting? I know I could just not use instagram at all, but I mostly use it to keep up with local and international activism and most of these organizations don't have their own website and it would suck to have to either reinstall the official app or use the desktop version just for that.

Bold of you to assume "we" have electronic patient records here in Germany, when they just introduced the e-doctors certificate and e-prescriptions a few months ago and it's already not working as intended.

Same here, these subs just aren't the reason why I used to be on reddit or why I'm on lemmy now. I used to be low profile on reddit (and actually liked when people thought I was the allo-cis-het man they assumed me to be because it made my posts look so funny at times), but I've found lemmy to be less misogynistic so far and I've seen a fair amount of users with pronouns and fairly filled out profiles so I thought I'd give mine a try too. So far nobody has ever used them, but we'll see.

This isn't meant to bash OP's cause, I'm sure someone finds these communities useful, it's just not for me.

I used to donate 5€ per year to Wikipedia since 2019 but I've stopped in 2022 because humanitarian related funds for Ukraine had taken priority and I haven't resumed them since because Wikipedia's begging has become almost unbearable to me (as well as some other reasons). Might donate something again this year if I can bring myself to look past the stuff I dislike about Wikipedia.

Edit: and I run a Snowflake proxy if that counts as donating?

Same here, I used to intentionally post about a location I didn't live in anymore as if I still lived there and never about the location I actually live in, it was fun XD

Is there any real security-minimizing reason why it's not wanted by the official app to have multiple mobile devices linked to one Signal account? (I'm not even talking about a second phone with another SIM card, I just wanna use it on my tablet).
I would appreciate a simple/ELI5 style explanation if there is one, I don't work in IT.

That looks really promising, I never heard of that before, thank you for telling me! Do you perhaps also know of any unofficial tumblr android app that lets me add two accounts/main blogs (ideally FOSS, but I'm willing to make compromises)?

Fully agree.
I'm one of those people who migrated to tumblr after the Reddit exodus (tbh I did have tumblr beforehand, but my usage increased a lot when the API bullshit happened). After using it for around 10 months I've come to the conclusion while yes, it is good for fandom related content, memes and some other things it's simply no replacement for reddit (it's actually more of a replacement for my fandom instagram to me). Yeah you can follow hashtags or topics, but tumblr is too niche of a platform and a lot of the topics I care about the average tumblr user doesn't even think of, or at least not to the extent I do.
If you want a reddit replacement Lemmy is simply your best option. If you want a Twitter replacement then yeah, go ahead and use Mastodon.

I've been using barinsta for a while now, and while it crashes sometimes and often takes ages to load my feed (I follow around 150 accounts) it's way better than the official app imo and enough to browse and occasionally react to my friend's messages. My one rule is to never post my face and I don't upload pictures of people in general, but I guess that depends on what you have to use it for. On and obviously no location tags in posts, but I don't think I have to explain that on a privacy instance ^^'

Thank you Mr. Torvalds.
