@gairdeachas So, for artists, I suggest two "services" in Fedi:

1. Wafrn: The equivalent in "vanilla social media" is Tumblr. It offers a lot of personalization in your profile page using CSS styles - app.wafrn.net
2. Vernissage: The equivalent of Flickr. There's only two instances of this service, but I think it's a great option to upload your work if you usee high quality images.

And please, please: stay away from Pixelfed (the "instagram of Fedi"). Its handling of privacy is poor.
