チャノさん (japananon@pl.anon-kenkai.com)'s status on Monday, 26-Dec-2022 01:16:44 JSTチャノさん @Takuya @Ota1504 @Yakotarun Discoverability and promotion are areas that are difficult to do anything about, unfortunately...
Mitra is Fediverse microblogging software with integrated crypto subscriptions. Aside from one-off payments, subscribers can pay on a monthly schedule and get access to Subscriber Only posts... kind of in the same way some people have Patreon Exclusives or the like. Since Sub Only posts can also have attached media, it would work well for art exclusives.
I'm running a test instance to show off in OnionKet 4. Right now it's lacking some of the more advanced features, but the dev, @silverpill , is planning to integrate a "View Only" mode to allow subscribers to create an account that lets them create an account, sub, and view private posts right away (though that functionality also works with Fedi accounts on other servers):

That'd make a smoother experience for getting new subscribers on board, assuming of course they have crypto they're willing to spend.
Nothing in Onionket or Mitra will be able to do much about the discoverability and promotion issue, unfortunately. Those are areas where highly centralized services have the advantage, thanks to the network effect.
All we can really offer is tools and a space to share one's work freely and without censorship, even when others want to prevent it. Solving the discoverability problem will have to be the work of someone else, hopefully building on this foundation.
