please help me, i want to post my art and some coding stuff i think some people might find interesting, but i don’t want to flood or make it look like i’m spamming posts on a lemmy group!! and you can’t post things on your profile. what other websites are there?? that are also fediverse? please. if not fediverse, then what other websites come to mind? thank you
Mastodon or Pixelfed come to mind.
i’m sorry but i am not an enjoyer of microblogging!! but thanks, pixelfed could work
You could create a community for yourself & post your stuff there. I don’t think there are any rules against this
That’s what I’ve been doing for a year or so…
Is it not working well? What is it lacking?
You want to join an mbin or piefed instance, they allow both microblogging and posting to lemmy communities.
mbin!! thank you, is there an android client for it??
Mastodon? Substack? Bluesky?
Definitely sounds more like a pixelfed use case.
But, any instance can work, just communicate with the admins and make sure it’s cool, then create a community and set it to mod only posting. My cousin used to do that, and it worked fine.
There’s a couple of communities set up like that as well.
Generally, you won’t look like you’re spamming posts, unless you’re spamming posts. Like, set yourself a time limit between posts, and spread them out.
or do single posts via topic on your personal C/, and include related links/media as comments the way forums did stickied posts for things. Helps keep from reposting stuff too, since you can scroll a thread easier than a C/, on most apps.
thank you, i will try pixelfed, i am excited to be in the fediverse way more
Go ahead and throw your pixelfed username out here once you’ve made it. I assume you do furry art at least a bit based off your profile which isn’t a super uncommon niche here, probably a few lurkers who’d love to follow
Features wanted:
Apps with those features:
- Microblogging
- Alternative to X/Twitter
- Open source
- Blog / Newsletter
- Alternative to substack.
- Open Source
This sounds like an elaborate way of saying you want to blog.
Or, as the kids call it these days, “to post on my Substack”. The two things being identical except that the latter sounds cooler and allows them to indulge their corporate Stockholm syndrome.
Substack is Geocities for the Tumblr generation.
you probably google for yahoo on bing amirite
Ha, good analogy.
Maybe pixelfed? Never used it but I think it’s more or less designed for this purpose.
lemmy-like fediverse forum
I believe you are looking for the term “threadiverse”. Unfortunatly, Idk the answer to your question.
mbin! fedia.io and kbin.earth are both instances.
You could also do what people did in the early days of reddit, and make your own “vanity” community.
I really want something like myspace for the fediverse, profiles that are customizable and can display videos, photos, 3d models, etc. would be peak. The fediverse needs more awareness and funding tho. So many non federsted platforms made to be turned to shit and sold to the highest bidder keep popping up. Like I keep getting ads for lore, no ones heard of the fediverse or lemmy, the platform the commenters are looking for already exists, they dont need to goto another mess that exists to sell their data and forcefeed them ads.
Why not just have a website?
Discoverability, everyones following a common theme basically what myspace used to be, a personal site that reflects you that is easily searchable among other sites doing the same things for other ppl, a website can be anything, you know what a myspace page is, old internet was like this forsure, id stumble upon a lot of personal sites that were unique, not really anymore. Like the whole geocities, everyone has a wix/webs site era.
Some benefits of federation for a system like this is possibility of integrated-into-one-system project comments, friends/subscriptions and user/project search/discovery (also by tags).
And even this it was pretty random, I just want a way to browse only personal sites and share mine, see different categories like art, sports, etc. What I thought the internet would be, not just corporations tryna sell me something.

If you’d like, check out mbin; it supports both forums and microblogging (so posting things to your profile)
It’s not as popular as lemmy, but it has a faithful userbase. Check out kbin.earth
Pixelfed is especially great for art as others said; i personally use pixey.org.

What I personally miss in every single one of recommendations in this thread is: they’re all timeline-based, without a good way to showcase and arrange content. When I want to showcase my projects (be it code or art), I’d want them to be structured in arbitrary ways on my profile that make most sense at the moment, and I’d want to be able to rearrange them at any moment. ArtStation gets this right, Github also to some extent - they have pinned projects on your profile that you can showcase and rearrange.

essentially modern myspace but federated, same would like to see that, would be cool, some sort of home feed for scrolling through homepage site previews

I belive vernissage.photos allows that (but not sure)

You might want to spin up your own PieFed instance. There is someone using that service for a similar art project - they are grouping images into similar sets and displaying them like an image board. You can pin certain images and/or change the default sorting.

Pixelfed I would say indeed!
