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.

Bringing flowers to a grave once a year is not gonna distract regulars from the fact that you do zero to upkeep it during the other 364 days of the year.

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.

18/24 and I've never even finished reading LotR or gotten around to getting an antidepressant prescription. I did borrow the Simarillion from the library for months though, opened it a couple times but never got around to reading it. I just know a little bit about Tolkien's linguistics and the way drug brand names work, but I got scared once I got one wrong.

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.

Thank you Mr. Torvalds.
