No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

https://www.pixiv.net/en/ artists post all kinds of works and the ones that want donations typically have a fanbox or something similar in their bio.
Lots of musicians share their music for "Name your price" on Bandcamp and 0 Dollars is an option.
As with all lemmy, the volume is low, but we do have c/artshare here with some frequent callers. Here on World, I think
Itch.oi is like the old flash games sites like Kongregate
Man, I forgot all about Kongregate. Flash games with achievements was a cool idea.
Itch.io
Oh yeah. Thanks!
Remember when the Internet was about collaborating instead of making money and getting famous. I think we will never see that again
Free music archive https://freemusicarchive.org/ has a lot of music licensef under the various creative commons licences
For photography, maybe https://unsplash.com/ ? The site is commercial and many people upload stuff for self promotion reasons, but still, most photos are available for free and under a rather permissive licence
There used to be a huge art site called deviantart
It still exists but I wouldn't recommend it. They've went all in on AI and got really annoying with their paid tiers. I deleted my gallery there. Not interested in training their AI.
That's so sad. I was gonna look it up as soon as I got through this thread. This is the last comment here for me :( I loved DA in the 00s
I find Blue Sky gained a lot of the artists that left Twitter. Many post freely, post commissioned works, or have a donation or subscription based platform to share work on. Discovery is ass, but many repost or comment on other artists so you can find a lot of similarly interesting creators that way.
Presumably they'd just upload it on their social media platform of choice nowadays?
Looking for art that has a Creative Commons licence, is a way to find this kind of free art. eg. Search for: 'creative commons pictures'
