I want to share my recent fractal renderings, that I think are valuable, here's a fun example:

Despite it being where-everyone presumably-is I do not want to use Instagram, so I am not sure what's best to do.. is there a good-enough 'open'/decentralised alternative now?

Maybe a simple rss feed would do it?

What's the reason you don't want to use Instagram?

It's not part of the public internet, that's probably the main problem, but I also have quite a strong aversion to things run by large corporations. At the moment I let google in, but that's it. (and they completely ruined my previous picasa-album sharing of my galleries of fractals, so I'm not hugely happy here either!)

I am more interested to find a passionate niche of ppl that really love the journey than getting general exposure, I guess that's another side of things: 2d fractals don't really have much mass-market appeal, but if you know what's going on there, it's a lot more interesting to follow!

you can search for things on instagram on google and they appear in the results. you can browse instagram without an account, some of it.

Sure, I've heard the name around HN a fair bit and had a brief look into it in the past, loved the idea but didn't get very far yet. (Gentoo linux user here, not helpless) Do you have any recommendations for docs about getting started with sharing images on pixelFed?

I made an account on shared.graphics:

When Microsoft bought LinkedIn for $26B, my tech lead said to me "why did they buy it for so much? It's just a website, I can code a website".

This is so ridiculous, I don't know what to say...
