I noticed that all the centralized social media was leading me to doom scroll, so long as I went to whatever links presented a feed. I do still watch some youtube vids, but I manually goto specific channels when I assume something new is posted. You can do 1 step better if it's lots of channels you want to keep current on, by using LibreTube or PeerTube, where it has local storage list of channels you manually follow, & it alerts only when those post new vids.
For things like X or IG, or anywhere else there isn't an API that is used by a FOSS app for custom feed or no feed ... I just don't use it anymore. It's simply not designed for my health, or my hope. I'm confident the Universe will show me what I need to know via other ways I gather news now, mainly: Nostr, Telegram channels, slashdot, hacker news, stacker news, & some podcasts on Spotify (which are ad-free, but I'm working on migrating to Nostr podcasts only).
