I did. I tried, I’m just not getting it. I mean I’m here…I’m not giving up on learning this stuff. It just doesn’t click for me so far & as a visual artist, the traffic on these mainstream sites is still important for me too. I’m kinda trapped into whatever alternative the masses settle on.
That makes sense. Hopefully when Threads joins the Fediverse it will be easier for those who depend on traffic for income to reach a broader audience.
Some tips on the fediverse, in case you’d want to try it out more more:
Pixelfed might be more suited for a visual artist, and seems to be gaining traction. It of course federates perfectly with Mastodon.
While Mastodon is to a degree designed specifically not to be Twitter, services like Firefish might scratch the same itch while being more feature rich
Use hashtags liberally, as people might follow hashtags to find content that interests them (if you post something with #fediverse on a federated server, it will also show up in kbin.social/m/fediverse/microblog
Start of with an introduction post (#introduction), include hashtags related to your work
Don’t start out on a very tiny server if you’re there to try to reach a broader audience. That’s easier from a more central node, unfortunately
