I remember a viral post on Twitter from someone listing nothing but complaints about Mastodon/federation which was written after the big furry instance, snouts.online, imploded. This was a few years ago. I'll admit it made me skeptical about the fediverse, but after actually trying it out for myself it's not as bad as that thread made out. Might be that that thread is still in the back of people's minds when they consider twit alternatives.
Another nice commission of my boy, Weaver by Trashbambi! ...doesn't seem to load the image so I'll post it here.  I decided to try linking to my PixelFed account like this rather than crossposting - deleting posts from off site doesn't seem to delete them from Lemmy.

Hah! Searching images with text is nearly impossible, but I did see a Martok image about doing battle against depression.
I used to play Elite: Dangerous quite a bit. I liked exploring the best - most of my 2+ billion credits came from exploration data.    
I've been trying to add some photos to a thread (it was going to be some old E:D screenshots), but I'm getting this error: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/835421167048196118/1120056438501416960/image.png This error occurs with both the URL uploader and body uploader. Obviously I can link to my images from off site (this is from my one free discord server).

Nice one! I think this small server needs more general communities for the time being - there's a risk of too many communities for too few people. It's something I remember from an article about Discord, which can really suffer from that problem. I'd make a general/chat community were it not for the fact I'd have to moderate it. In the mean time I might post something to this community later.

No I can't see an image on Lemmy.

I'm following the furry community on yiffit.net using my mastodon account, and I saw a post show up on my mastodon feed. So I opened up the thread in another tab, and I've been faving/unfaving the mastodon post... and the score on Lemmy goes up/down immediately. So yeah, it looks like faves from mastodon are translated into upvotes on Lemmy.
I've also seen likes on my PixelFed notifications come in from Kbin.social users on this post that I sent to Lemmy from there - I'm assuming those were upvotes on their end.
I'm now thinking that some of the upvotes on that thread are actually likes and shares from mastodon. Edit: this might only be the case for new posts.
I've just been sculpting heads and slapping some colours on using vertex paint. I'm enjoying it though! Sculpting is nice and relaxing, and you don't really have to worry about topology. I've practiced retopology a little but not much yet.

I see. That one came from Pixelfed but I see. Same thing I guess. I should be OK to crosspost still, doubt I'll need to delete my posts too often.
I said I'd delete one of my test posts, and I did - from Pixelfed. However it's still in the test forum, because I can't delete it because it wasn't posted by this account... [It's this one](https://pawb.social/post/44327). I haven't tested to see if this happens with Mastodon cross posting. Is Lemmy supposed to delete posts that it was tagged into?

Sweet! Sorry to keep sending posts to your test community, but this is fantastic news. I'll note that the gif was converted to an MP4 that doesn't play on the lemmy page. Edit: Huh, I deleted this from my pixelfed account - either it hasn't updated on lemmy yet or lemmy's made a copy of it's own?

Somehow, back in 2003-4ish I found the fantasy art gallery Elfwood. Obviously I went to the first gallery, which had Ursula Vernon, Xianjaguar and a few other furries. From there I followed their links to Yerf and Livejournals and found more old school furry artists including Heather Bruton (...responsible for my "I like men now" moment).
Later I found deviantart, then the webcomic twokinds and eventually FA. I only really got involved in 2020, posting on twitter and reddit but never really found a community or friend group until looking into the furry scene on Twitch.
