Yes, https://lemmy.world/u/toni_bmw , please remember to include resolution and source. And if you took this, just put “OC” in the title. This is a smaller community, so I’m trying to allow some room for growth, but the giving the artist credit is important.

I’m guessing using Kickstarter has the benefit of adding hype as a new thing. I’ve always been curious about Open Collective and Liberapay. Have you tried it? Was it a smooth process?

Friendly reminder to include source if you have it

That’s a creative idea. I would read it. But if the goal is to reach and engage more people, then it needs to appeal to them. Like previously said, most people just don’t seem to care about privacy. So what do they care about? Getting likes/approval from others? Networking? Following popular channels? It’s kind of a catch 22, because celebrities won’t go to a platform without potential followers, and followers won’t either without someone to follow.

I can definitely relate on seeing the potential of the fediverse. I even told some of my friends, “This is the evolution of how the Internet is going to work. Isn’t that exciting??” And I’m usually met with blank stares.

I think the social media giants will slowly continue to become less relevant and there will be a natural shift toward alternatives. The more polished the alternatives become and the more the communities will prove valuable with actual human connections, the more they will slowly appeal to the masses. I think many people are sucked into the world of consumerism and cannot imagine an alternative.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am trying it out now and it seems pretty solid. I’m not sure the customization features are worth a subscription yet for me, but if they end up adding moderator functions, that might make it my new favorite.

Oh snap! I didn’t realize that

I started with Mlem, then Memmy, tried Thunder, Limbo, the Voyager web app. The new Voyager app definitely seems the most polished. I will say though, a new discovery and my primary lately has been Avelon. It is buttery smooth and many options in the settings. One that was missing from Apollo was the “mark above as read” option for posts, which is present on this app.

Definitely give it a try: https://testflight.apple.com/join/IzB0ZiBO

That makes sense. Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that before

That’s what I kind of assumed too, but everything appears to be working

No problem. As much as I hate having to rely on G products, the image search usually finds things best

I’ve never seen this style before, it’s pretty cool.

The internet has made me so skeptical of everything. But nice work then.

Did you really make this wallpaper? It’s one of my favorites and is on about every wallpaper website.

That’s alright, I looked at the artist’s multiple pages and contacts and didn’t see any mention of it, so they are at least not explicitly saying that is what they are doing. But if you have a hunch it may be from AI, best to mention it. From what I can gather, there are many artists that are not in favor of it, so passing computer-assisted brush strokes off as human-only may seem disingenuous.

Thanks for linking the wallpaper group. There are some neat ones on there.
