Seems there's a misconception of .art doing the rounds, so let me clear that up!
We're an art instance, but we *do not* expect or enforce our users to only post their artwork here - it's actually very much the opposite!
The Fediverse is a community, and .art is a community. We like knowing each other on that communal level. We like seeing what artists do when they're not creating art; snippets from each other's daily lives, pet photos, side projects. We're here to find new friends.
