Check out Pixtagram. It's a federated Instagram, similar to how Lemmy is a federated Reddit. I find there is a lot more photography content than typical insta content on there.

Lots of photographers on pixelfed. Although it seems less discussion based like lemmy is
Thank you. Can't beat a good lense debate 😁
My take (hot or not) is that we don't so much need more communities as we do regular contributors. That's particularly true in this case, IMO.
!photography@piefed.social
https://piefed.social/c/photography
@photography@lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/c/photography
I feel like your contributions would be very welcome at those places.
I had a quick think about your comment, and I whole heartedly agree.
Great suggestion, and much appreciated
Concur, I was going to suggest !photography@lemmy.world for absolutely no ulterior reason whatsoever ^nowthatI'verecentlybeenmademoderatorthere.^
BT dubs, to link communities you prepend with an !. Use the @ sign to link a user.

Sorry, and thank you. Is that 2nd link okay, now?
Yes indeed, it's working now.
Don't worry, you should see the number of times I link directly from Alexandrite and it mangles the URL completely by doubling up the lemmy.world part of it...
Huh, I only know "alexexandrite" as a gemstone. Is there more to that story?
It's one of the available Lemmy user interface modes/modules/plugins/whatever-they-are. You can access it via lemmy.world with:
There are things I like about it better than the default desktop Lemmy UI, and a couple of things I don't like so much. However, I find that it barfs consistently less on uploading images inline in posts. Conversely, when viewing posts it is incapable of displaying embedded videos whereas the default UI (and probably the Tesseract UI) can.
Okay, thanks, and... no thanks!
I don't need that shizzle upon my Smartphone, ever...
FYI, it's not an app you install. It's just an alternate website to access Lemmy content.
This is probably irrelevant if you're using Piefeed, though, which it appears that you are. (Lemmy and Piefeed can talk to each other in a broad, but not 100% feature complete, manner.)
Thanks for explaining, and sorry about my grouchy reply, earlier. I was a bit toasted at that moment. :S
Hard agree. One of the drawbacks of fediverse sites is that as a result of endless community creation, there's a dearth of community.
IME, getting a community off the ground and running is a huge task, especially the more niche it is. With most places you'll need to be both the show-runner and content creator for years, plus deal with whatever headaches that come up along the way.
2.5yrs in, with ~1,200 users lost when Lemm.ee shut down, I'm back up to 1K subscribers at my place. I've created around 600posts so far, much of them in the form of little articles and sample sequences from graphic novels. So when will the community 'take off,' such that I can semi-retire from posting? Probably not anytime soon.
I believe that 100℅. I bet you're knowledgeable about this tho: I am using an app called Voyager. It appears to show me posts from different servers(?). What is a useful mental model for conceptualizing this?
Also, as a site admin(?), what is a tool that would be useful for you? Similarly, what is a tool that you think would bring more users to the site?
Thank you in advance. I really like the concept of the Fediverse, but I get the sense its usability is fairly rudimentary.
Pixelfed ?
Go with pixelfed, that's what it's for. And since it's part of the fediverse you can follow it from places outside of pixelfed itself.
Probably Pixelfed or maybe Mbin or Piefed?
