The only thing I can think of right now is PixelFed, which is more of an Instagram style thing, rather than a DA-like.

kbin.social has m/art magazine. I hope you would post to there to make here a great place in fediverse.

I'm using pixelfed right now!

Here's an example of my portfolio.

It's similar to DA, but it's more Instagram like than DeviantArt. I think this style of posting photos is decent enough but I'll be sure to hop on a DeviantArt-like if it ever does come up

ohh I'd love that! dA was amazing back in the day, but they went down a path I didn't like and I haven't done anything there for ages. Most, if not all, the communities I was a member of have died and it's now more of a homage to the golden days of when I started web design and design in general, for me at least.

If you post to https://mastodon.art/ then your Media page becomes a little portfolio: https://mastodon.art/@spectralvectors/media

i'm looking for a da-like thing too. my preferred site would be a mix of that and tumblr. something that can work as a archive/gallery and blog. i dont like the mechanics of twit/fb/insta but clones of those are mostly what i seem to find.
