I used to primarily use Instagram for following illustrators, sculptors, digital artists, etc., but I dropped Insta for obvious reasons.

There was also a large exodus from Insta to Cara.app almost a year ago due to Meta's stupid policies on using Insta content to train AI. While Cara is generally a great site and has anti-AI policies (I'm not anti-AI, just anti the way most companies implement AI), my problem with Cara is that it's an owner funded site that will inevitably need to find a way to monetize the content/users.

On the Fediverse, I'm on Lemmy, Mastodon (though I don't love the micro-blog format), and Pixelfed (very little activity).

So my question is: What platforms in the Fediverse are you seeing the most original artist content?

Sadly not entirely accurate for Lemmy, as it does not display content from other platforms (except comments or posts from mbin, piefed, etc) unless a Lemmy community is explicitly tagged. You cannot follow mastodon or Pixelfed user from Lemmy in any meanjngful way.

Thanks for the hint. I do know Lemmy, but not in the depth that is required ;)

Always happy to see Friendica users around - it seems to integrate impressively with huge parts of the Fediverse.

I remember reading about it in the early days of the project, and not giving it a shot because there's just no way any of my social graph would come with me there. Checking in now and then through the years it always seemed like an odd corner of the Internet. It's really cool to me that I suddenly find myself seamlessly interacting with its users, both anonymously here and with my full name on Mastodon.
