Communities? Reach? Anonymous 02/01/26(Sun)13:38:42 No.7872027 [Reply]▶

I do pixel art. I'm not that good at it, but I'm definitely better than some other artists. However, I can't find a community and I can't grow my audience at all. I'm using bluesky, X, instagram, but it's all the same and I barely have any interaction with my posts.
I don't really want attention or being told how awesome I am, but I want somebody to see and comment on what I'm doing.
Additional question - where do you guys find any communities for discussions and/or critique? All I can find is some insufferable leftist discords where everything's full of low-effort nsfw/lgbt art and mind-melting political discussions. I just wanna talk about pixels with somebody :(

nobody cares about pixel art besides other pixel autists, who are largely going to be tranny-coded weirdos, it is what it is
if you want attention from normal people, you need to contextualize the pixel art in a medium, be that animation, video game or whatever
also pyw

The Internet is way too big than you give it credit for
Firstly no one will give a shit
If someone does "find out" uno reverse card that shit or say lol that's not me, I guess someone just pretended to be me

I know it's considered a heathen website here, but reddit has a big pixel art sub, you can potentially get a lot of attention there.

every troon server I see bans political discussions because it 'can cause distress', like either you've hit the jackpot of free speech or they're those 'my rights are not politics' types

I can't speak for whatever sub you're referring to, but reddit is even more botted than twitter

Yeah but I've seen that mostly on the "all" and "popular" subs, from my experience the pixelart sub is pretty normal
