Hi all,
I want to start a photo community.
I’m trying to figure out the best place…
Mastadon?
Lemmy?
This will be a lot of (hopefully) high quality images. What is the best place for this?
What about pixelfed?
I’m a bit stumped!
My take (hot or not) is that we don’t so much need more communities as we do regular contributors. That’s particularly true in this case, IMO.
!photography@piefed.social
https://piefed.social/c/photography!photography@lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/c/photographyI feel like your contributions would be very welcome at those places.
Concur, I was going to suggest !photography@lemmy.world for absolutely no ulterior reason whatsoever nowthatI’verecentlybeenmademoderatorthere.
BT dubs, to link communities you prepend with an !. Use the @ sign to link a user.

Sorry, and thank you. Is that 2nd link okay, now?
Yes indeed, it’s working now.
Don’t worry, you should see the number of times I link directly from Alexandrite and it mangles the URL completely by doubling up the lemmy.world part of it…
Huh, I only know “alexexandrite” as a gemstone. Is there more to that story?
It’s one of the available Lemmy user interface modes/modules/plugins/whatever-they-are. You can access it via lemmy.world with:
There are things I like about it better than the default desktop Lemmy UI, and a couple of things I don’t like so much. However, I find that it barfs consistently less on uploading images inline in posts. Conversely, when viewing posts it is incapable of displaying embedded videos whereas the default UI (and probably the Tesseract UI) can.
Okay, thanks, and… no thanks!
I don’t need that shizzle upon my Smartphone, ever…
FYI, it’s not an app you install. It’s just an alternate website to access Lemmy content.
This is probably irrelevant if you’re using Piefeed, though, which it appears that you are. (Lemmy and Piefeed can talk to each other in a broad, but not 100% feature complete, manner.)
Hard agree. One of the drawbacks of fediverse sites is that as a result of endless community creation, there’s a dearth of community.
IME, getting a community off the ground and running is a huge task, especially the more niche it is. With most places you’ll need to be both the show-runner and content creator for years, plus deal with whatever headaches that come up along the way.
2.5yrs in, with ~1,200 users lost when Lemm.ee shut down, I’m back up to 1K subscribers at my place. I’ve created around 600posts so far, much of them in the form of little articles and sample sequences from graphic novels. So when will the community ‘take off,’ such that I can semi-retire from posting? Probably not anytime soon.
I had a quick think about your comment, and I whole heartedly agree.
Great suggestion, and much appreciated
Go with pixelfed, that’s what it’s for. And since it’s part of the fediverse you can follow it from places outside of pixelfed itself.
Probably Pixelfed or maybe Mbin or Piefed?
Pixelfed ?
Lots of photographers on pixelfed. Although it seems less discussion based like lemmy is
Thank you. Can’t beat a good lense debate 😁
