The motivations behind Sunslider
The lawyers might tell us to take this down, but here's the truth: Insta's algorithm isn't there to make you enjoy the app, it's there to maximize Meta's profits.

Why choose Sunslider?
Your community comes first
When you open Sunslider, you see the "My people" feed, showing recently posted Slides from the people you follow. Once you're caught up with friends and family, jump over to the "Explore" feed to see popular content from around the world.
Your life, your choices
You don't need to sacrifice privacy in order to have a great social app. Whether you want to share with the whole world or just your community of followers, you stay in control with easy-to-understand settings, block and report features, and comment controls.
Go ad-free if you want
Sunslider is free to use, but we will eventually have to make some money to keep providing an app you love. When that time comes, you'll have a choice between a low-cost annual subscription or a no-tracking, no-targeting, ad-supported version.
Enjoy the moment
When you sign up for Sunslider, notifications are off by default; you can change that during the signup process or later through your app settings. We figure you know when you want to share and look at other people's pretty photos, so why should we constantly interrupt you?

Creating the Patagonia of social networks
Companies don't have to be designed to extract a maximum of your attention or money. Don't listen to the oligarchs: we can build a better future.
Building something better than Insta
Unskippable ads, never seeing content from your real friends, messing with Stories... We deserve a social network that actually works for us.
