I have been off social media for a while and I’d like to make a Mastodon account to post my nsfw oriented art. What instances are best for this purpose and what etiquette rules would apply for posting adult art particularly on the Fediverse?

    Checking the people I follow on my AD Masto, most people seem to on yiff.life , meow.social or rubber.social , so those instances might be worth looking at (although I have a personal and perhaps petty grevance with meow for defeding the first instance I was on).

    Content warnings are, as mentioned, also really important. Just remember some people have text based autofilter rules to filter out things, so don’t try to be too fancy with wording.

    If you want to maximise reach, remember to use hashtags! Many users use them to find content (you can follow hashtags). If you’re a furry artist, consider #furry and #furryart . And as a convenience for those that want to filter it out, consider #nsfw as well.

    If you want to cross post to a Lemmy community as well, you can include something like:

    CC: @communityname@instance
    

    In the post body, and it’ll get automatically submitted to the appropriate community.

      Thankyou for the pointers mentioned; So the way I hear it short descriptive content warnings. The hashtags will be very helpful and I never considered that I could cross post to lemmy.
