I really think that social networks (fedi included) are not suitable to sharing art.
@hideki There should be a site, minimalist, where it's for artists, and you click on someone and it takes you to their digital gallery, without all the clutter
@Jazzy_Butts also where you can be (re-)discovered easily, in places like this your rediscoverability is literally zero (and even lower, because search never works as it should)
@hideki @Jazzy_Butts what about tags? they seem to work better than raw text search
@hideki yes, too temporal
art needs a gallery that is stuck in time
sure you can "tweet" out something saying "I added a new thing", but the gallery needs to be stable somewhere imho

@hideki not even pixelfed?
@mistermonster probably, it would just need categories or folders or something like that.
@hideki that's what hashtags are for, no?
@mistermonster how would i go on about searching for post from an user only with a certain tag?
@hideki ideal place is printing your art and putting it on the fridge
@hideki @hideki Hosting a website portfolio is a challenge for artists and photographers, which explains their reliance upon sites like Instagram and Twitter. Hosting websites is often simplified (read: bloated with Javascript) with sites like Squarespace and WiX. If only making a lightweight portfolio website creating tool were possible.
i WOULD consider Pixelfed an alternative, but the problem is that Pixelfed has several arbitrary artificial limits that don't work well with art galleries.
