Edit: thank you for all information, it is really helpful 💖 I will check out pixelfed (.art) and go from there, maybe later setting up something "at home" ! Thanks again !!!

Hello !

I just got asked for a link to my paintings, and well I don't have an art portfolio online and after trying some free ones out, I haven't found anything nice (ease if useno nag-ware) so I thought of Devianart where lits of good pixel artists hanged around some ten years ago ...

But I have heard Devianart is no longer recommended or the goto place for your portfolio, is that so (or not ofc!) and if, do you have any recommendations for a free online portfolio? Say 30-40 paintings tops.

I'm thinking about setting up something myself so self hosting (FOSS) recommendations are greatly appreciated too!

Cheers!

Pixelfed supports tags, so even if the official team didn't want to do that, it should be possible to make an alternate front end with different tools to allow you to categorize pictures in other ways without having to interfere with the actual mechanisms/structures storing pictures.

It would also be perfectly possible to branch further from Pixelfed, but still keep compatibility federation-wise to leverage the social stuff. This would, in theory, allow you to focus more on the portfolio aspect on your own site, while still also having the social feed portions for people to follow your work in real time. It might be easier to implement something like requiring moderator review before a comment on a picture displays with a harder fork.

That's all way past the scope of what I'd have time for, though. I'm more likely to make something simpler from scratch that fits my own criteria.

Hopefully Pixelfed will continue to grow and various clients can be developed which cater to different types of users. For now I believe @dansup@pixelfed.social is the man to address our suggestions to. I'd imagine he's also quite busy though...

To be fair, I absolutely respect keeping the development focused. Feature creep keeps projects from getting core shit done properly.
