If you're looking for a Flickr-style photography platform on the Fediverse, there's one in beta testing called Vernissage:

Bear in mind it's still in testing, so it may not all work properly yet. You can follow the latest news on its official account:
β‘οΈ @vernissage@mastodon.social
Vernissage is part of the Fediverse so you can also use it to view photos and follow photographers from Mastodon, Pixelfed and other Fedi platforms.

Absolutely is this project called
@vernissage@mastodon.social way more stable and ready to use as #SoloPixelfed will ever be. π

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @vernissage@mastodon.social Itβs an already stable solution and the development is going on there with reason and accuracy - and when a feature is there, itβs there: No continuous βcoming soonβ-announcements or similar stuff - Vernissage simply delivers! π€π»
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @vernissage@mastodon.social the AI generation of alt texts is a big red flag tbh
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @vernissage@mastodon.social This ought to be an irrelevant question, but: which language is "Vernissage" meant to be pronounced in?
p.s. The name "Vernissage" may cause some confusion as it was used for two totally different projects, so here's an explanation to hopefully make things clearer:
- The developer makes two Fediverse things: an independent photography platform called Vernissage, and a third party Pixelfed app called Impressia
- The Pixelfed app used to be called "Vernissage" but is now called "Impressia"
- If you want more info about Impressia, you can follow it at @impressia@mastodon.social

I'm not sure but guessing the French/English pronunciation.
Question for @vernissage@mastodon.social perhaps?
BTW for anyone wondering what it means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernissage
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Thanks! OED has /vΙrnisaΚ/, so it seems we've not anglicised it. It's not a word I was aware of. (I'd been mentally trying to say it as an awkward 4-syllable German or Norwegian word.)

I'm not a linguist but would guess this is due to relatively recent influence of French art world.
(Whereas something like "homage" is medieval and has an English pronunciation /ΛhΙmΙͺdΚ/ )

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services The earliest occurrence the OED has is 1912, so I think you're right. It's basically a French word being used in English.
