I think something that could be helpful to fight the negatives of social media, would be to take pride in how you've helped others on social media. Sharing something from someone with fewer followers than you. A word of encouragement. Being a friend to someone.

All you new artists are bringing amazing art to the community and inspiring us all! So glad you decided to join.

Together we're all going to keep making amazing things and inspiring each other. It's a great thing to be a part of 😄

I can tell you from experience, welcoming new people to the community is a quick way to make very loyal friends.

If you feel up to it, say hi to someone today! 😄

PSA: Boosting costs nothing, and is a super great way to help people out.

Also! It won't appear in the local timeline, just to your followers, so you won't be spamming.

Also, also! Anyone who wants can hide boosts from people they are following. Then you don't have to see boosts anymore if you don't want to.

Everybody wins!

One of the greatest things about Mastodon.Art is our community! We're a community by and for artists.

Keep up with the community by following the local timeline. You can pin timelines, as many as you want, so that they appear every time you sign in.

Look for the Local Timeline in the "Getting Started Menu."

And as always, feel free to ask for help :) We're a friendly community here.

If you're looking for fellow artists in your chosen craft, or just people to follow in general, it's also helpful to check out the Profile Directory: https://mastodon.art/explore

Here you can find users by hashtags of what they do. Feel free to add hashtags to your profile as well, so other artists can find you 😃

If you're new here on Mastodon.Art, an introduction post and updating your profile are a good way to start.

Your intro post doesn't have to be anything specific, but you can tell people what you like, what you do, or why you're here. Common interests can help start conversations and let people know why to follow you.

If you have any questions, we have a great owner and team here: @Curator, @ChrisTalleras, @emergencybattle, @adamk678 and myself.

Welcome to the community 😄 :mastohi:

Thanks to updates to Mastodon and how people sign up, we are getting some new people here again at Mastodon.Art.

Please take some time to check out new people and welcome them. If they have interesting art (of any kind) feel free to share it and get them some notice so they can properly be seen and welcomed by the community.

Let's show everyone why we love this community so much! :)

Here's a throwback. I did a gif animation for my girl @courtney a few years ago, of a corgi, because she loves dogs, and corgis. Now we have a corgi haha.

So excited that we were finally able to share the Mastodon Artist with y'all today. I had a ton of fun making him. :) It was an honor, and I was very happy to make our place a little more unique. I have to admit, I put a little of myself into the design, although this character is meant to be androgynous and represent us all :)

Can I do a #ThrowbackThursday here? I made this for my wife @courtney about a year ago. She's more of a writer than a drawer, so I made her a "Meet the writer." :)
