I have photos/short videos of painted miniatures which I want to show to interested hobby communities. I have started a pixelfed.social account as I have heard this is Fediverse’s equivalent of Instagram. Whether it is or not is irrelevant - I quite like the interface, so I decided to keep my content there.

Now pixelfed.social is a generic instance, there are miniatures-interested people but apparently not too many, so I don’t really have much traffic on my profile. Not to worry, I found relevant communities: A specific warhammer Pixelfed instance, a tabletop gaming instance of Mastodon and two or three Lemmy communities scattered across the instances. There is also noticeable activity under warhammer-adjacent hashtags on the largest mastodon instances.

I would like to show my work to all those people. How do I do it most efficiently and most “fediverse-ly”? On Reddit I could post to a miniature painting subreddit and then cross-post to other subreddits. On facebook I’d start a fanpage for my painting and share this way across groups or set up a public folder on my profile and link to it. What’s the fedi equivalent?

    To some extent I think you can do most of that on Lemmy.

    You can upload images for your posts (not sure for short videos) and cross-post them to other communities.

    Edit: I don’t know kbin.social but I suspect it would be more adequate to what you want to do.
