I like the overall layout, color palette, ‘primativist’ style, and appreciate its evocative effect, just that… a little more definition would really help me out. Give me some better-defined lines and ‘lock in’ what you’re trying to say, please.
Regardless, thanks for sharing, OP! I hadn’t heard of her before.
TBH, I’m just a scared idiot.
One of my friends is a Pulitzer-nominated dude whose CC got hacked, or whatever it was.
This is probably going to sound lame as hell, but I’m that type of caveman who hates giving out their CC# online. Any advice?
I tried to install from the dev’s site last year, but was told I was lacking some critical file it needed to run. Googled it up and it was hard to tell where the file was supposed to come from, or where I could get a clean, legit copy. :S
I think it was an MS file, FWIW.
Hmm, sounds like a good point. Here’s my sub:

Can you tell me how our formatting might be messing search engines and stuff…?
(unlike Reddit, for example)
I use bold and italic a lot in post titles. Some of the other stuff wouldn’t make much sense I don’t think, but every little bit helps.
The Lemmysphere sure seems to get slammed a lot at places like r/RedditAlternatives. I wonder if possibly some of that is sockpuppet-stuff, as unlikely as that sounds. Still, more than ever we live in the age of misinformation and manipulation by opposition groups & monied interests, so the idea & practice is certainly on the table.
Unfortunately, there’s also the reputation of at least one of the primary Lemmy coders. Seems like the sooner Kbin, Mastodon, etc can get better integrated, the less notable that should be. *knock on wood*
Just make a community. Build it, they will come.
This is exactly what I’ve done, but I must say that in the particular community’s case, it hasn’t been easy. We’re going on 1.5yrs now, 900+ subscribers, and I’ve personally contributed ~360 posts (most of them curated mini-articles) out of 466 total posts, yet the sub still essentially needs me to provide the content.
So IME, niche-type subs can take a hell of a lot of work to take off, and we’re not even that much of a niche.

I know I can filter content. I know I can post and be the change I seek. Yet, it feels like an uphill battle.
It doesn’t look like you mentioned subscriptions, which gets you out of the ‘all’ / ‘filtering’ side of things entirely. But just as with Reddit, you’ll need to spend time building your personal feed over time and tweaking it.
The good news is that there’s no limit to your subscriptions (unlike Reddit’s cap of 50 displayed at any one time), but that you’ll need to use the right tools to search the Fediverse to find those communities you want to subscribe to.
The main tool I typically use seems to have a bug right now (based on the recent software upgrade?) but I suspect will be back up in a few days. You might take a look at this, tho, plus other resources.

You mean the user that moderates some Star Trek stuff and Out of Context Comics? What’s the problem..?
I’m enjoying the fact that this Gonsalves piece is a little more subtle and elusive compared to his other stuff.
It’s also some purely enjoyable art for me, particularly in the way that various foreground-to-background elements are distinctly framed for the viewer to appreciate. You don’t often see that no matter how miraculous the piece!
See my link here, pls.
Howe did this in 1989, so actually he was the one directly riffing on earlier artists’ versions of Gandalf, like Hildebrandt, Bakshi and Rankin-Bass. Or just iconic images of wizards that go back centuries…

As long as it federates, hey?
Wow, very wow.
It’s both pleasant in terms of palette, technique, and light & shadow interplay, yet strikingly depressing in terms of subject matter and claustrophobic nature.
