Hi friends ๐ I created a Starter Pack that I hope will help people discover more artists.
Most of the artists have <500 followers, and they all deserve more eyes on their gorgeous work.
The included feeds are my "Discover Art" feeds that make it easier to find art posts with lower engagement. ๐
Note: I donโt have a specific plan at this point, but as time goes on, I will likely cycle names in the list to give more people opportunities to be discovered. ๐
There are still far more artists out there who also deserve to be on lists like this one!
For transparency, I decided names in this first round by scrolling recent threads and trying to find people with, generally, fewer followers (most are under 500), and ensuring they are currently active.
Given it's time-consuming, if I cycle new names, I'd love to automate future sets somehow ๐ค
Hi there! Lovely work! ๐
The new starter pack feature allows me to add only 50 users, and I've used up the slots so far. But, I do plan to periodically cycle new names through this starter pack to try to feature more people.
This is a bit of an experiment right now, so I hope it's helpful! ๐
Is this kinda like instead of an art share, an artist share lol?? Can I name drop a bunch I follow and appreciate?
(Understandably, no two artists are the same and they're not all "SFW"... persay... A bit of artistic nudity is far from porn in my book tho)
So, what's the rules of engagement here?
I hadn't intended this to be a sort of share thread, but your suggestion is 100% in the same spirit! so please feel free to mention artists in the thread ๐
Hey thanks so much for including me on this list โบ๏ธ
And also thanks in general for your work building the art community here! Itโs a fun place to be and the contributions are appreciated
Wow, thank you Davis. I knew there had to be a reason why I was getting undeserved attention. Thank you for your time putting this together, and including me!
Oh wow, thank you so much for the feature!! ๐ And it's great to see a few familiar faces here, they all 100% deserve more exposure ๐
Going through this list now to follow some more! โจ
Iโm glad youโre using this to give small artists more attention.
I recently hit 100 followers recently, which iโm really grateful for. I need to reshare some of my older art in addition to finishing a new piece Iโm working on. Quite a to-do listโ ๐
Holy shit, thatโs not the response I was expecting ๐คฏ
Thanks a lot man, your doodles are some of the funniest shit I see on BlueSky and your AI model has been one helluva lifesaver for this place.
I look forward to cooking up more art, thatโs for sure! ๐๐ป
Haha thank you!
Btw, for anyone seeing this thread, the AI reference is this labeler that lets you know an image is AI and have the option to hide it ๐
@aimod.social
Ngl Davis, if I was sitting in a chair and I had known you were gonna follow me, I wouldโve fallen out of it ๐คฃ
I mean that as a compliment, I respect you a lot dude ๐๐ป
I think it might be broken? I clicked it a couple times and it said โpage not foundโ. Iโm looking forward to checking out the artists though :) cool idea!
Thank you for taking the time to do this!
I saw your other comment hoping to switch out accounts periodically, so also hoping with you there's an automated feature in the future to assist with that.
