Hey my peeps - what Masto instance would you recommend for a queer visual artist trying out the Fediverse and looking for a community?
What accounts / hash tags would you recommend they follow to get started?
My logo designer is not enamored with what traditional social media has become and interested in trying out the Fediverse and I'm hoping to set him up for success.
[boosts welcome!]
@gairdeachas So, for artists, I suggest two "services" in Fedi:
1. Wafrn: The equivalent in "vanilla social media" is Tumblr. It offers a lot of personalization in your profile page using CSS styles - app.wafrn.net
2. Vernissage: The equivalent of Flickr. There's only two instances of this service, but I think it's a great option to upload your work if you usee high quality images.
And please, please: stay away from Pixelfed (the "instagram of Fedi"). Its handling of privacy is poor.
