▲ 38 ▼ Is there a fediverse equivalent to Deviantart? (kbin.social) submitted 3 years ago by Hondolor@kbin.social to c/fediverse@kbin.social 14 comments fedilink hide all child comments Looking for the best place in the fediverse that is dedicated towards images and/ or posting art. Any suggestions?

It looks and feels like it wants to be a mobile app tied directly into a cell phone's camera. The web experience is... It would be generous to call it "secondary". DeviantArt, at least as I remember it being, is more gallary-like. More... horizontal. permalink fedilink source parent
