@Shookaite: I understand that (and probably more than you might realize).
I'd love a non-Facebook (Facebook, Instagram), non-Yahoo! (Flickr), non-Google (Google+, Google Photos) place to share my photographs with friends and for them to share their photographs with me too. Some photograph art they work on too as well as mundane things. (It's not all about photography.)
I'm sure others would like the same too (otherwise the mentioned sites wouldn't exist).
I'd love something like a #Mastodon instance that's for sharing #photographs (basically like an #Instagram clone), with an app too.
Or perhaps a #photo mode in Mastodon (and its apps) itself? …and, of course, better photo handling by default too.
(BTW: There should be a way to differentiate between sharing a photo you took and some random graphic, naturally.)
Also, all the animated gif avatars on the public timeline thing are annoying and distracting, I wish there was a way to turn them off.
I reported a bug about this ages ago, and it was closed, but I still see animated gifs with no way to disable them :(
