For imgur check out Catbox. I haven't used it person, but it might be closer to imgur than pixelfed which is supposed to be an IG replacement.
I've been using Proton since it first came out and have had no problems with it. I have a paid account because it's worth it to me to not be the product. And for about $5/mo I get encrypted email, calendar, vpn, drive, and password manager (though I primarily only use the first three).
They have a free version that lets you try it out, though with limited features.

Since you are the algorithm for what you see instead of the system, you do have to put in some work to find content that interests you. But it is possible and rewarding when you do. Assuming microblogging is of interest to you of course.
Across the fediverse if you stick an @ in front of the 196 it'll work. Lemmy has a thing where they do an ! instead, but that's specifically their thing.
Works with usernames too.
Don't worry, it'll all make sense in time. There are some great guides floating around if you haven't already found them.
I don't know what any of those terms mean, but I support you in this!
