Hello! We are a new instance for #artists and #creators, both amateur and professional. We serve the creative community and want to provide them a place to promote their work and build an audience on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. Your fans can follow your accounts from other servers, but this is exclusively for artists and creators for now.

We're just starting out, but applications are open for artists and creators, come see us at https://artistalley.space/about

@artistalley πŸ‘‹ Hey there! I’m Paul and I’m a generative artist that uses code with vintage pen plotters and other old output devices. Nice to meet you.
@artistalley define #creator.
I've started 100s of projects and haven't finished one yet does that count?
@Stefwill If you want to show them off even unfinished, sure!
@artistalley hello! I write fiction, small thought pieces on AI, and do a little Photoshop/Lightroom/Midjourney work that I'm quite proud of
@artistalley I’m too busy creating to fully participate. Do you think this is worth the time? I tweeted my life away for 15 years.
@artistalley Hi there! We're a three person team making a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk comic series!
@artistalley hello. I work with acrylic paint, watercolor, or digitally.
@artistalley you folks looking for a good relay with only vetted instances? You'd fit our requirements. You can stalk the other instances at fedi.artemai.art and let me know :)
@jared Thank you, I'll check it out and let you know :)
@artistalley we've got a matrix chat for small instance admins too (don't have to use the relay) and a second one for relay admins. If there's anything our group of admins can do to help let us know.. @harshad @me are two of the other awesome folks about who spring to mind.

Hi, I'm Thurman and I am some owner/operator of beyond the edge woodworking. I don't sell things online. I'm strictly commission and local to the portland Oregon area, but live to share work. Will you be using pixelfed as image hosting as well? Or are images just linked?
@AstroTman If someone follows you from their Pixelfed account, they'll show up there even though you're posting from Mastodon, if that's what you mean. (Also, dang those are gorgeous, one day I'll stop chickening out of using my table saw!)

@artistalley
I'm experimenting with pixelfed... Having 5-6 photos linked is nice, but I'm not sure how to link them in mastodon and was hoping you might know. Lol. I think having build progress pics is interesting to show a few steps in the process.

I was thinking that it should be possible to have a mastodon post and link to pixelfed and they seamlessly show up the same as if I'd uploaded them.

Btw...woodworking is just practice so start practicing!

@AstroTman I'm not terribly familiar with exactly how Pixelfed and Mastodon work together, just that they're supposed to enable you to see posts from one in the other. Sorry!
