I don’t understand the question; the Fediverse has nothing to do with apps. Apps are just frontends that access services. But you asked for a YouTube alternative, and for that, your phone’s hardware is completely irrelevant.

Or are you planning on installing a PeerTube instance on your phone?

Yeah, the interface isn’t winning any beauty pageants, but it’s the most feature-rich software I know; the question is, how do you use social media?

What do you think of Friendica? It only needs PHP and a database.

They can, yeah. But they haven’t done it in ages and I don’t see the risk for the user; the IP is way more problematic.

generally the bots that scrape sites for information. One of the easiest ways to exclude them is to read the user agent.

yeah, this info isn’t necessary for technical operations, but some software uses it and shows the client under the post, for example; as an admin, that often helps me identify problems quickly.

Could you explain the use case? I don’t quite understand the background. Now that AIs are flooding the instances, some admins are blocking these kinds of requests.
