I sincerely hope you have better luck than I finding a Strava/MapMyRide/Trailforks/MTBProjec alternative that 1) works 2) has at the very least a quarter of the features of the proprietary apps and 3) is accurate. I have searched for over a year and tried an endless number of apps and have not found a single one that allows me to look at a trail map, record my ride or provide me accurate data at the end of the ride. I eventually gave up and carry an old phone with Play services on it so I can use Strava during the ride. If my experience is an indicator, there is no reliable and useful alternative.

You just need a decent block/filter list. I scroll new/all and probably see 3-4 political posts daily.

I would be unable to use Lemmy/Piefed without a well-rounded block/filter list.

Have you been reporting the communities and posts with some detail in the report? I haven't seen any come across but would suggest that would be the first step in trying to stop inauthentic bot activity.

I found Piefed to have some minor refinements to Lemmy, enough so that I moved to it for everyday browsing. Probably the most important for me is the combining of multi-community duplicate posts. The way I browse(All/New) will often result in seeing the identical post crossposted to 5-10 other communities. In Lemmy, it results in endless scrolling of duplicate content, especially if more than one person happens to be doing it at a certain time. In Piefed, when it works correctly, I'll see only one example of the post and it will offer a dropdown if I'd rather see it from another community. Things like that really help soften the rough edges of the fediverse.

I've also heard that it's more quickly developed than Lemmy but I have no firsthand knowledge of that.

At the end of the day, you can see the exact same feed regardless of which your using so just pick the one that makes your time on the fediverse more pleasant.

That site absolutely screams dropshipper. Picking a random product where they tout quality parts sourced for "their" camera and doing a similar image search resulted in thousands of the same product, most in Chinese and Russian-based sites.

EDIT: its a rebranded Navitel R1000, a discontinued dashcam of Chinese origin.
