Krita for me was quite a learning curve, but far more intuitive / with a far better workflow than Gimp once you got used to it. So I'd recommend it too for image editing, though with this, to me, a positive caveat.

Dunno how preview works on Lemmy, but on Mbin for me, Twitter previews work every once in a blue moon. Also Nhim doesn't seem to be on a platform whose previews tend to work.
Like I said, it's a perception of mine. But if total numbers are stagnated, it may be worth for people to try to bring others in, like by direct invite (do keep explanation when inviting simple though!), or by simply attaching your fediverse profile/profiles to your other social medias where possible.
I've been trying to help on that for a while. Boosting, commenting, posting/crossposting... At worse, I just like/dislike since I can use that to make Ublock Origin auto-hiding posts on instances whose software doesn't have native hiding. And I'd incentivize others to do so too, to ensure the network doesn't whither.
But still, patiently being around for some 3 years now, my impression is that it's growing quite nicely and quite fast too. Even more so if compared to the competition which's been around for much longer. Iirc Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, for example, are some 20 y.o. already. Discord I find suspicious how fast it grew, but even then it's older than most fediverse softwares too afaik, the oldest ones to my knowledge (not counting retrofitting ActivityPub) being Mastodon and Lemmy circa 2016~2017.
Still, having learned not to take things for granted, even if I don't find it barren, I'd again incentivize others that see potential in this network to keep helping it stay relevant.

Name makes it hard to search, yeah. :V
Worst comes worse, one could install a VM with Windows. And for the edge cases where neither VMs or compatibility layers suffice, the user can install Windows on a different physical drive and plug it in just when needed.
Gut feeling, but I think the panic would last 2 days. Then issues would be found and unofficial patches would be made faster than fire spreads in dry folliage.
That name.
Noice *clicks tongue*
Might be good to crosspost what's interesting to adjacent or mirror communities.
The fediverse seems rather active though, specially if comparing to similarly niche communities on Reddit, Facebook, Discord, etc.
Besides, the fediverse becoming the main platform would both mean the problems of other platforms are attracted here, and that we'd be making a new standard.
Alas, the saving grace of the fediverse is that any group of instances and/or actors can either interact or not with each other if they so desire without compromising the whole network. Though that is bound to create feuds, it's still far better than the addiction-oriented walled gardens that are the major platforms of today, while this bilateralism allowing for instances to choose who they interact ensures a healthier growth.
I follow very few groups or profiles for memes, news and politics, and I find the experience with what's left pretty enriching overall.
