flickr does timeline-style but is best for for sorting into folders, sharing your photography more publicly, large photo dumps. you can annotate photos. itās also fun to look through othersā photos. i like to put my film + digital + nicer pics on flickr
retro to me feels a little more social (however nobody i know really uses itā¦) and i like the timeline focus of it too. itās soooort of like if flickr instagram and snapchat combined but definitely pre-ads and algorithms and junk content. itās just you, your pics, and anyone you friend. you can do captions or just upload pics. iām excited to look back at my timeline at the end of the year !
daylio is literally a digital diary / journal. you pick a mood and then can add any tags/activities/etc and a caption and photos if youād like. you can also mark certain days as special events and it will send you a reminder at the yearly anniversary. i use it for tracking my mood/habits on a more daily basis since i donāt always have the ability or energy to journal for a long time every day. also the pro version always goes on sale at new years and they have cute icon/color schemes :-)

I love this app itās like a mix between an Instagram weekly photo dump and BeReal. The best thing about it is that itās close friends only (like BeReal) but I canāt convince my friends to get on it so Iāll try and convince you guys. Hopefully it will help me do more fun stuff and actually take pics of that stuff. Even if none of my friends join Iām still gonna be on there documenting my life for me.

i am guilty of being a serial documenter (aka too sentimental for my own good) and am honestly too self-conscious to dump everything with abandon on my instagram. here, i love scrolling through all my old photos and getting reminded of what i did each week, and thereās og social functions for the real, no-pressure homies. you can send postcards!! and make monthly / yearly recaps!! the most delightful social app to celebrate the passing of time.

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itās actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youāre passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining peopleās attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (āunaliveā), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, āalpha maleā podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche thingsā¦ the list goes on
