Pixelfed, an alternative to Instagram, has matured over the years. One of its biggest, most powerful features is about to touch down - federated groups. And it will be compatible with Lemmy and Kbin.

@Dee

If you're a professional artist, it might be a good idea to run your own instance with almost unlimited storage space.

Running my own instance unfortunately isn't a feasible option for me at this moment in my life. I'll be looking into that in the future when I'm in a better spot but it's not an option for a lot of creatives. I may have the technical knowledge to run and upkeep an instance but most artists aren't that tech savvy. So this will remain a problem for Pixelfed attracting artists even if I run my own instance.

@Dee Can you estimate your current and/or longterm storage requirements? The quota can be adjusted, so getting in contact with the admin might solve the problem.

Yeah, somebody else suggested that in another reply too. I'll give that a go and hopefully that can address my issues with the platform. Thanks!
