Maybe a niche question but I’m looking for a community focused on arts and culture around the world rather than sharing your own work.
I can easily find it somewhere like The Guardian, but I was hoping there was something in the fediverse or forum based for discourse.
Any ideas?
I still occasionally browse Ultimate-Guitar.com for rock/guitar news, it’s fun, but I could use seeing other sites and will be following this thread with great interest! :)
Oh my god I used to LIVE in Ultimate-Guitar back in the day. It was the first actual forum community I got into, and I played a lot of guitar, so I was always into the culture and news.
Oh my gosh, I’m getting flashbacks that bloody “wut” pear in The Pit! :) Me too, I miss that place being the biggest part of the internet to me, simpler and much more musical times! :)
THE GODDAMN PEAR! I saw people get banned over it lmao. Yeah, good times back then. Being online was a lot less bullshit.
All else fails we’ll just have to start a community 😅
You are welcome at the https://lemmy.ca/c/art community. Currently, most submissions are people’s artworks, but what you describe is also seems relevant to the community and I’d post content too if there’s interest in it!
I will totally subscribe if you do.
Arts and culture is a very broad topic area. It covers (among other things):
- performing arts (eg plays, musicals, film, TV, radio)
- visual arts (eg painting, drawing, sculpture, crafts)
- literature (eg books, poetry, the various literary genres)
- design (eg fashion, typography, architecture)
Mastodon has several instances focussed on different aspects of arts & culture, eg:
Different lemmy and kbin instances have various arts & culture communities (some are reasonably active, some aren’t). You can use community/magazine search tools to find ones to your liking.
Eg to search for theatre related communities you could use:
- https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=theatre
- https://kbin.social/magazines?query=theatre&fields=names_descriptions&federation=all&adult=hide
- https://browse.feddit.de/
Note that due to the way the fediverse works, these search aggregators aren’t necessarily comprehensive. So it’s worth spreading your search over several tools.
Can someone remind me how I sign up to mastodon instances and whatnot with kbin? TIA
I’m somewhere with bad internet or I’d google it or whatever
I’m a casual photographer and a Japanese weeb. I like this website:
