Oh, and another observation. I follow Japanese artists as well, and they don't do any of this. Their chances of getting kicked off my follow list are way lower.
@dzamie By chain posting, I mean quote threads repeating the same thing: "If you see this, post [a wolf, your art with a forest,...]" or "Get to know your mutuals ✨️ list 10 things you're into! [List of 10 things]"
It's another reminder that I just don't feel at home in artist spaces. I was also part of some Telegram group for artists quite a few years ago and I felt the same way back then. It doesn't bother me, it's just an observation. I'm happy with my online spaces.
I'm not rabidly against self-promotion, but the self-reposting and chain posting are a bit much on my Bluesky timeline. I was hoping to follow artists that aren't on fedi, but if that's what they're doing all the time then it bothers me too much
This is the gallery section on my website. I implemented the navbar and tab bar like ARIA suggests, so tabbing will only select the active element and you can focus another item using the left and right keys. This seems reasonable to me.
For the image grid, I'm planning to use arrow key navigation here as well, so you can tab in, and the next tab key press will focus whatever comes after the grid. Arrow up/down/left/right will let you select any grid item. Good or bad?
