You could create a community for yourself & post your stuff there. I don't think there are any rules against this

[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's what I've been doing for a year or so...

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it not working well? What is it lacking?

[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

What is it lacking?

Plush carpet and air conditioning. No, it's working fine — fun for me, and a handful of others don't seem to mind.

[–] DeuxChevaux@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mastodon or Pixelfed come to mind.

[–] adrianhooves@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago

i'm sorry but i am not an enjoyer of microblogging!! but thanks, pixelfed could work

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

https://pixelfed.social/ or friendica or loops or just your own community on Lemmy

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You want to join an mbin or piefed instance, they allow both microblogging and posting to lemmy communities.

[–] adrianhooves@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

mbin!! thank you, is there an android client for it??

[–] adrianhooves@lemmy.today 4 points 1 year ago

oh nevermind, i'm looking at their website and yea they have an app for android and linux called "interstellar", ok!! i'll just choose a server then

[–] Zoldyck@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Mastodon? Substack? Bluesky?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely sounds more like a pixelfed use case.

But, any instance can work, just communicate with the admins and make sure it's cool, then create a community and set it to mod only posting. My cousin used to do that, and it worked fine.

There's a couple of communities set up like that as well.

Generally, you won't look like you're spamming posts, unless you're spamming posts. Like, set yourself a time limit between posts, and spread them out.

or do single posts via topic on your personal C/, and include related links/media as comments the way forums did stickied posts for things. Helps keep from reposting stuff too, since you can scroll a thread easier than a C/, on most apps.

thank you, i will try pixelfed, i am excited to be in the fediverse way more

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Go ahead and throw your pixelfed username out here once you've made it. I assume you do furry art at least a bit based off your profile which isn't a super uncommon niche here, probably a few lurkers who'd love to follow

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe pixelfed? Never used it but I think it’s more or less designed for this purpose, and it’s on the fediverse.

[–] JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This sounds like an elaborate way of saying you want to blog.

Or, as the kids call it these days, "to post on my Substack". The two things being identical except that the latter sounds cooler and allows them to indulge their corporate Stockholm syndrome.

[–] drspod@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Substack is Geocities for the Tumblr generation.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

you probably google for yahoo on bing amirite

[–] JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ha, good analogy.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago

lemmy-like fediverse forum

I believe you are looking for the term "threadiverse". Unfortunatly, Idk the answer to your question.

[–] Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really want something like myspace for the fediverse, profiles that are customizable and can display videos, photos, 3d models, etc. would be peak. The fediverse needs more awareness and funding tho. So many non federsted platforms made to be turned to shit and sold to the highest bidder keep popping up. Like I keep getting ads for lore, no ones heard of the fediverse or lemmy, the platform the commenters are looking for already exists, they dont need to goto another mess that exists to sell their data and forcefeed them ads.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why not just have a website?

[–] hisao@ani.social 3 points 1 year ago

Some benefits of federation for a system like this is possibility of integrated-into-one-system project comments, friends/subscriptions and user/project search/discovery (also by tags).

[–] Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 2 points 1 year ago

Discoverability, everyones following a common theme basically what myspace used to be, a personal site that reflects you that is easily searchable among other sites doing the same things for other ppl, a website can be anything, you know what a myspace page is, old internet was like this forsure, id stumble upon a lot of personal sites that were unique, not really anymore. Like the whole geocities, everyone has a wix/webs site era.

[–] Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 1 points 1 year ago

And even this it was pretty random, I just want a way to browse only personal sites and share mine, see different categories like art, sports, etc. What I thought the internet would be, not just corporations tryna sell me something.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

mbin! fedia.io and kbin.earth are both instances.

You could also do what people did in the early days of reddit, and make your own "vanity" community.
