Glad I saw this post today, downloaded and love it straight away! So clean and exactly what I wanted out of a FOSS weather app.
Handmade‽ Wow, they are so cute! Are you the creator? If so, you did a lovely job bringing them to life!
Or even better, if that prevents you from falling back asleep and now you're half-awake when your alarm would actually go off. Lousy REM sleep cycles...
Engagement is one of those things which is a bit odd to try and capitalize on. It's less about the content itself and more about the where and when a lot of the time. You'd be surprised just how much the exact same post would change in reach just by shifting your post time by a few hours. I never found /r/furry to be a good place to post artwork when I used Reddit. Slapping a tagline and putting it onto furry_irl was significantly more effective with user interaction and turnarond. Though regardless, virtually none of those people ever interacted with my furaffinity.
At the end of the day though, being popular has little to do with hard work and improvement as an artist. It's much more about endlessly shoveling out content of any quality and constant self promotion. If you're not the kind of person who wants to turn marketing into a hobby, you and I are in the same boat. Just making things we want because we can, and sharing stuff without expecting any real engagement. I might not be popular, but at least I feel free to do as I please.
Welcome to Lemmy, and thank you for sharing your art with us! Have a great day!

I think Lemmy is simply too small for that level of separation at the moment. Of course anyone is welcome to make a new community on this server, but I wouldn't say we are anywhere near the point of content saturation that it's necessary to split it up to prevent stuff from being drowned out. The server is fielding maybe a handful of posts a day locally across all communities, any kind of art or discussion at all will be seen and appreciated.
Yep, there it is. No steel-toe boots in an environment like this‽ Tsk tsk
Hello! If you like seeing furry related posts you'll be just fine. Heck even if not, we are connected to a wide web of servers in the Fediverse which you can participate with anyway. This server is just one small cog in a very large machine of people sharing all sorts of things with one another.
So many phones these days have terribly small batteries for what is basically a computer in your pocket. With android I have a choice at least, so I chose an absolute unit of a device with a 13,200mAh battery that lasts an entire week before I plug it in.
We will defeat our enemies with kindness, friendship, and this cool crossbow I found!
Related, there is a donation group for Mastodon for Harris. I imagine a great way to show there is interest in her making an account is to see fundraising coming from the user base. It's at ~114k at the time I wrote this: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris
