@davidrevoy Great post, but I have the issue that you suggested mastodon.art; the problem of that instance is that they defederate with too many instances for small reasons, and when the instances' admins and mods questions to reason they failed to provide evidences, and tend to assume bad faiths, even my second account's instance (tech.lgbt) got in the crossfire tho. Their moderation stances would not help any artist there, I am still baffled many people still recommend that instance

Essentially that art is a values-driven community for people who like art.
They'll never put size of network above their values and code of conduct, which may be frustrating for people who just want to get their art out there.
Unfortunately some of the ".art but less rulesy" instances I've seen give me "anti-woke" vibes. Might just be me, and I haven't looked really close.
Maybe main Pixelfed is a happy medium
