Thanks for the info!

I crossposted this to (what I considered) the relevant communities, where I added that as an edit.

From what I see:

• feddit.de is on BE: 0.19.1
• lemm.ee is on BE: 0.19.1-rc.1

I don’t know in which version was the bug fixed.

AFAIK, they are used as relays.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-bit_computing#1-bit

Computers and microcomputers may also be used, but they tend to overcomplicate the task and often require highly trained personnel to develop and maintain the system. A simpler device, designed to operate on inputs and outputs one-at-a-time and configured to resemble a relay system, was introduced. These devices became known to the controls industry as programmable logic controllers (PLC).

My 2 cents: I have a similar relation with smartphones as yours.

In my case, what I fear the most is some app getting my contact list and using it to send some kind of “XXX has joined YYY service” notification to all of them. Also, I didn’t like that Google had all the data they wanted, so I ended with 2 smartphones:

• One de-googled (LineageOS without Google Apps) that I use for calls and trusted apps. This one has my contacts list.
• One default Android-Google without simcard for those apps that require oficial-Android (mainly banks apps) and any app I’m afraid could mess with the contact list.

AFAIK I’ve only had one incident because I trusted Telegram too much. There is always non-zero risk, but this works for me.

Thanks!

I tried Pixelfed (very briefly) not so long ago. I didn’t find a propper way to search for content. How do you discover new content?

!fairphone@lemmy.ml

Yep, that’s why I added the twitter source too.

Also on twitter:

• Twitter @CommitStrip
• Nitter link

I’ve only used on the desktop, but there is Proxigram, an alternative frontend for IG.

I’ve been hearing a lot about https://micro.blog recently. I haven’t tried it, or blogged in a long time.

AFAIK it supports ActivityPub.

I also found a post in one micro.blog with a few of alternatives:
TL;DR: Tumblr / Ghost / Blot / Mastodon / Write.as / Jekyll
https://book.micro.blog/alternative-platforms/
EDIT: Manton Reece is the founder and lead developer of micro.blog

A couple of tools to help finding the original sources:

• dessant/search-by-image: Browser extension for reverse image search
• SauceNAO’s “Image Search Options” addon: Firefox - Chrome
• Reverse image search engine URLs (replace XXX with the image URL):
  • Google: https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl?url=XXXX
  • Bing: https://www.bing.com/images/searchbyimage?cbir=sbi&imgurl=XXXX
  • TinEye: https://www.tineye.com/search?url=XXXX
  • Yandex: https://yandex.com/images/search?rpt=imageview&url=XXXX
  • SauceNAO: https://saucenao.com/search.php?url=XXXX

Also, thanks to @Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de and @Stamets@startrek.website for the mentions :).

Not an answer, but a warning: I’ve tried a couple of them and they may break some sites and I found very difficult to debug (probably because how many addons I have). If you notice weird things, try disabling the addon.

I just installed the recommmended Consent-O-Matic and it does work in the only website I remember was broken with other addons. Looks promising, thanks!

how tumblr works in terms of discovery

I really like Tumblr (mainly because RSS support), but I find their search VERY limited. Maybe I’m being stupid, but I haven’t been able to search for 2 tags at the same time (e.g.: “#artists on tumblr” and some genre “#pixelart”).

In general I find very difficult to filter repost and look for original content only.

Do you have any tips?

My not-very-helpful 2 cents: this is how it worked on reddit and kind of what expected for lemmy. But there could be a setting to change the behavior.
