Comment on Will Lemmy instances be forced to verify users' ~~ages~~ identities?

  It’s still the biggest art posting platform. And I’m not even sure where art posters should migrate to… I mean sure it would be nice to have them scattered through different fediverse instances, but it would be nice for us, not for them. The main thing they get from X is massive algorithmic reach. You hit like on a Miku art and another artist with their Miku art immediately slips into your feed, you like it even more and you decide to check their profile and you like their other works and you subscribe. This kind of easy and efficient advertisement is something that doesn’t exist anywhere else outside of few centralized systems.

    Why don’t art posters use y’know something dedicated to art or images and not microblogging?

    Like DeviantArt or Tumblr, the two once popular with artists sites designed for them.

      Pixiv, Fanbox, DeviantArt, Tumblr, etc, are also widely used. Very few people only use a single platform. I think Twitter is top 1 for expanding your audience not only because how well their feed algorithm works, but maybe also because all those focused platforms are used more by artists and less by viewers (or used less often by viewers), while Twitter being general-purpose is the one where more people who like to watch/discover arts but are not artists themselves, are. But there are other factors, like Twitter comments being better than Pixiv or DeviantArt comments, etc. Finally, if we return to the context of this discussion, I don’t think any of those dedicated platforms in any way solve the problem of age verification and that is why I wouldn’t recommend migrating to them in this context even if they were otherwise good for art.

    Should Lemmy heavily incorporate hashtags, then? Hmm…

      Nah. Mastodon can handle that.

        I had an impression it didn’t work great across instance boundaries. Like, algorithmic discoverability was very limited. I might be wrong and it might have changed since I last checked though. Also I had an impression that Mastodon doesn’t really have global feed on the same level as Lemmy instances. And again, correct me if I’m wrong here.

    There’s always the classics. Diviant art, new grounds, ink bunny, pixv, Tumblr, and fur affinity.

    If you ever want to share art just look to were the furries flea too. You won’t ever find a group more determined to share their art then them.

  I don’t understand why anyone would ever use Twitter for porn in the first place lol. Porn sites exist……

  I’ve been on Twitter for like 16 years now and porn has never been something I’ve seen or even thought to search for on there. It makes no sense.

    Oh trust me, stuff you didn’t even imagine could exist can be found in that wretched hive of depravity and fornication. If you never click any of that, the algorithm won’t know how dirty your mind is. On the other hand, you could also do the exact opposite and click on everything horny. That will turn your whole feed into a 100% NSFW experience. Let’s just say that it’s a surprisingly versatile site.
