My 2021:
Active days: 355
Top sport: 55% running, 41% cycling, 1% gardening, 3% XC skiing
Achievemts: 7 KOM, 29 local legends
Tot. time: 898 hr
Tot distance: 11785km
Kudos: 3369 received (most: 16, Maratona dles Dolomites), 2297 given
Climbing: 133035m (not bad if you live in the flattest region)
Disclaimers:
1) I could not run at all because of injuried hamstring/back, so my "runs" were actually walks, I just pretend they were runs. Been doing zillions of hrs of physio and core stability, but this is not on Strava.
2) I got KOM and local legends on segments that nobody else has ever done (20reps on our local hills, 500m length, too boring for anyone else, most reps there for sane guys is prob 5 or 6)
I clicked on my link a week or two back and got a rejection. It doesn't work on PC, which is my only method of internet connection, never having owned one of them new-fangled dapperfones. Load of rubbish I say.
I opened a free Strava account, (to see what it's all about), only last week via an email link. I don't have an internet 'phone either, so I know it should work for you too.
It's not all bad news for you, however, as from what I've seen if you are using a Garmin device, and their free Garmin Connect software, then there doesn't seem to be any benefit in using the free version of Strava -which I'm not sure is as good.
