I recommend SELECT, as its built on digital wellness principles. - They make a distinction between high signal and noisy activity. For example: - Doesn't send you notifications or activity to your inbox UNLESS its was sent to you personally, or there's activity on a post you've interacted with. - Notifications are batched to max 1/hour or 2/day - If you've consumed all your high signal activity, and you're still in the app a minute later, it will prompt you to lock your phone. - No public popularity scores - Everything is private by default, so no privacy settings but instead - opt-in exposure settings - Based on your 3 criteria, - Reach of Posts is limited to specific selected individuals or a single group. - even in the group context, - No Feed. No infinite scroll. No algorithmic recommendations. - No Ads or other conflicts of interest.

It's early, but promising. It's community oriented & only works by invitation, so here's one if you're keen to try - https://scholer.select.id/jdlj
