There has been some discussion here about a community where artists can share their work. This community seems like an obvious place for that, but it is currently mostly people sharing art that they appreciate.

I was thinking of possibly doing weekly threads where people could share their art without having it show up in the main feed, but I would also like to open up a discussion on it.

Since I had totally forgotten that I was a moderator of this community since it’s never generated any reports, I also went ahead and set the banner and thumbnail to something random. (Last art image on my phone and the first post ever in this comm). I will pick replacements from this thread that get the most upbears.

    I like your ideas.

    Also would you want to be given control over these threads? I’d say a monthly rotation is probably good. Could even be fun to hit the post body with an artist or an idea like how the other megas work.

    If you want that but don’t want to manage it, I can find time to set one up every month too.

    I don’t particularly desire any control or responsibility for anything.

    If you do have the time and capacity to handle it then I suggest you setting it up and if it garners enough attention and use to warrant it (or you just get sick of it) adding another mod then?

    (I am technically able and therefore willing to help out now if you need a hand, but I’m sure there’d be more enthusiastic and/or specifically art-nerdy volunteers if you put out a call.)
