I wanna hold the hand of every skeptical artist who joined from bird site and posted "probably won't be here much" bcs they intend to go back to bird site after the rush dies down:
I get it, the devil you know and all, but give this place a chance! 🙂 Ppl are much more likely to interact with you the more you post and reply to posts! Hashtags are GOOD here! There's no Algorithm to fight! Put descriptions about your art and OCs on your images, get folks invested! You'll have a good time! 🤘😎

@jendrawscomics Right on, lol.

When I came here I only intended to feel out the site (especially since many people on birdsite seem to have negative opinions about it).

But some posts and many interactions later, I can say that I'm a convert. Love this community.

I started in June five years ago (on .social) but didn't delete my Birdhouse account until almost four months later. I had to adjust to this space and realize how much better I could feel out of that pressure cooker before I was ready to officially pull the plug.

@xenophora @Revvie @jendrawscomics when I was on Birbsite I did not even see any art, as algorithms hid it in preference to political and religious discourse, and folk complaining about the bad transport infrastructure in my area, whereas on Fedi there is loads more in my timeline, so I suspect the potential audiences on Fedi are far greater..

@vfrmedia @xenophora @Revvie I've seen it posted more than once that while an artist has many more times the followers on bird site than here, they get many more times the engagement and monetary support for their art here, with a smaller follower count. I can't say that for myself yet, but I believe them, especially these days when the bird algorithm drops art posts almost as fast as ppl make them 😔

@jendrawscomics @vfrmedia @xenophora Yeah I've seen posts about that too, which is pretty heartening. I do believe them as well, since I'm getting pretty decent engagement even right out the gate which wasn't true at all for birdsite
