What are private image browsing alternatives to X/Insta? (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.

Yeah I meant NSFW, though much of it that's on insta isn't necessarily nsfw

I gave pixelfed a try and it seems to either not have an algo or just be terrible. Startpage is alright but it gets repetitive fast if you frequent the same tags/search terms regularly, just like google.

There are a lot of NSFW communities here on Lemmy. Maybe that'd be a good alternative, though it probably depends on what you're looking for.

Yeah sadly not as much male content out there.
