I like this platform, and hope it succeeds, however I have a question for the community - what are everyone's thoughts on creators? I am one, for transparency-sake, and I am pretty sure we are not wanted here, since most of us have Adventures/ Art / Battle maps / Patreons / Kickstarters / Products to sell, even though we frequently give a lot of stuff for free to the community. Thoughts?

I'm not the person in charge, but if I were to interpret that rule, it seems like it is basically trying to keep the content quality good. If self-promotion becomes a drag on the overall content quality, it would probably be called spam. if your self-promotion is interesting and contributes to the community, no one would probably ever bat an eye that it was most of your posts.

the best and most honest way to sort this out is to find some people in charge and run it by them. unfortunately, except for @[email protected] our mod, I doubt any of them are spending a lot of time in this community, so like @[email protected] said, you probably should ask elsewhere.

Yeah, I'll post there tomorrow. Thanks for the advice! I have a feeling it's just not going to be an option though. "Good" and "interesting" content is subjective. What happens when I post a bunch of "good" content and then a dud? I hope I wouldn't, but sometimes stuff just doesn't hit, and then it would mean a ban for me if enough people didnt think it was good enough? Doesnt seem worth the risk.

I just want to say, try to be optimistic about this.

right now these communities are very new and small. they don't have a lot going on. most content at the moment is good content, just because we want stuff to fill out the front page.

if you want to message me about the stuff you make, I'm now very curious about it

Yeah, you are totally right! Everything is very fresh here, still forming. I'll see if I can start a conversation tomorrow with the general lemmy.world admins/ mods.

And I appreciate your interest! I sneakily posted one of my recent maps in one of the communities here haha, so you can see it on my profile.

Pinterest is probably the platform to get a really good glimpse at the stuff I make overall though https://www.pinterest.com/domilleswondrousworks
