An issue I’m having making the jump from birdsite to Masto for public posts is I want to post too much stuff, including linking in things I post on gallery sites. It all sort of logjams into not posting at all, because I’m worried about clogging timelines with what I made for dinner that day, nightly art, old Art Fight posts, etc etc etc.
In other words, the private community vibe is good, but doesn’t shape itself well to putting art posts on blast for people to follow. So, what do?

I guess I do have a masto-dot-art account I can start making more use of. But I guess it seems split-brain to use so many different accounts, and part of why that never really worked for me.
I could also assume I’m worrying to much and post all the things as unlisted?

@Goldkin Masto is about community over the followers numbers game.
If you want to blast art out and have others find it easily, you might create another account just for art. Alternatively, just reply to each art post to make a chain of your art posts that people can follow back more easily.
As for cluttering up timelines, that's one of the things CWs are so good for! ^^

@mawr The specific difficulty I’m having is using Masto as an art blog. The shape of it as a community bulletin board is good, but works less well as a public presence for “here’s a bunch of neat stuff I’m working on”.
I guess I need to figure out how to make one of those elsewhere, because it’s how I primarily used birdsite, and I want to move that presence elsewhere.
Which makes me sorely miss when I could just make said art blog and tell everyone to subscribe via RSS.
