Edit: thank you for all information, it is really helpful 💖 I will check out pixelfed (.art) and go from there, maybe later setting up something “at home” ! Thanks again !!!
Hello !
I just got asked for a link to my paintings, and well I don’t have an art portfolio online and after trying some free ones out, I haven’t found anything nice (ease if useno nag-ware) so I thought of Devianart where lits of good pixel artists hanged around some ten years ago …
But I have heard Devianart is no longer recommended or the goto place for your portfolio, is that so (or not ofc!) and if, do you have any recommendations for a free online portfolio? Say 30-40 paintings tops.
I’m thinking about setting up something myself so self hosting (FOSS) recommendations are greatly appreciated too!
Cheers!
I only have experience with pixelfed.social which is my home instance. I think you’ll be fine with any general purpose instance though. They should all federate well, so your home feed will be made up of accounts and hashtags that you follow which can come from anywhere on the fediverse, not just your own instance. It’s well worth exploring and getting a nice feed for yourself based on people and styles/mediums/subjects that you like. It’s also good to comment on others work and keep the encouraging/supportive vibe happening :)
