Private image browsing apps? (lemmy.world)

I use X, Instagram, and Pinterest for thirst content. Sadly, the former two are unsafe (unsure about Pinterest but it is American and not FOSS so I'd assume the same).

I'd really like to shift off these platforms, but I'm having trouble finding anything with a reliable search and algo that isn't a dry well.

I was a bit confused as to what you meant; image browsing apps to me are things like EOG/Loupe, Gwenview, or whatever Apple/Microsoft use for that now. So you're looking for a social media platform for sharing images, not software for browsing images? What is thirst content?

thirst content: content that is very sexual in nature without necessarily becoming straight up nudity or pornography, something platforms like Instagram or Twitch are famous for. For young people being unnecessarily horny is often referred to as being "thirsty." As in "thirsting" after someone you find attractive.

image browsing apps: Instagram could be described as an "image browsing app," and as such this user is looking for apps that mirror Instagram/Twitter/Pinterest content without actually having to use those services.

OK, not at all what I expected...

Yeah I meant a social media platform that's image-based. Things like Pinterest, Instagram, and to some extent X/twitter.

As for thirst content. Well. If you're not 18+, can't say.
