As artists rely on audiences for support and earning a living, it's scary and difficult having to start over on a new platform. I know a lot of you are nervous, and worried, and anxious right now. Here's a little thread on how you can get settled in on the fediverse, how to build up a community here, and how to get your work seen.
The main form of discovery on here revolves around hashtags. Unlike other platforms, there's no algorithm here, no punishement for using (or not using) tags /🧵
@Curator out of curiosity, are we allowed to make posts saying our commissions are open?
The rules state that we may not advertise, but commission ads are so important for artists. I was unsure if the rule was strictly for non-art related ads, or if that includes commission posts as well.
@shelbybenefield Companies/corporations may not advertise - the rules explicitly state that users CAN and are encouraged to advertise :)
"(Advertising and spam (does not include sharing links to your art-related income sites!)"
So yes, please share your commission info! <3
