If you'd like, check out mbin; it supports both forums and microblogging (so posting things to your profile)
It's not as popular as lemmy, but it has a faithful userbase. Check out https://kbin.earth/
Pixelfed is especially great for art as others said; i personally use https://pixey.org/.
What I personally miss in every single one of recommendations in this thread is: they're all timeline-based, without a good way to showcase and arrange content. When I want to showcase my projects (be it code or art), I'd want them to be structured in arbitrary ways on my profile that make most sense at the moment, and I'd want to be able to rearrange them at any moment. ArtStation gets this right, Github also to some extent - they have pinned projects on your profile that you can showcase and rearrange.
essentially modern myspace but federated, same would like to see that, would be cool, some sort of home feed for scrolling through homepage site previews
Like a foryou page for websites and everyone makes custom ones, all meant to be served to each other connected to activity hub, maybe it could be done with wordpress
Pixelfed I would say indeed!
Mbin doesn't actually support posting things to your profile yet. Microblog posts still need to be posted to a particular community. They do plan to stop with that eventually and allow you to post outside of communities (recently mentioned on their Matrix), but that's not a thing yet.
I'm sure you know, but technically, Microblogs are still considered "posting to your profile". It's just that Mbin also happens to categorize those microblogs into a specific magazine, either based on tags or manual placement. They still display in your profile just like normal. Additionally, if you view those Mbin microblogs from a Mastodon server, they will still appear as if the user "posted to their profile". All Mbin is doing is assigning the Microblog a general categorization.
Well, it's different meanings of "posting to your profile". I get it you're using the technical/backend/AP meaning of the post being posted to the user's account and then the community just announces it iirc. At least that's how it works on Lemmy, never looked into how Mbin does this exactly, iirc there's differences to how Lemmy and Mbin communities look from Mastodon.
But in this thread's context, it means that you make a post, and it's only visible on your profile, nowhere else. Not in any magazine. New Reddit has this feature, where you can choose to make a post to /u/username instead of any specific subreddit, and then the post is only visible on your user page.
It's unclear what exact meaning the person I replied to meant, but it's definitely not the technical one, considering their wording. So with "Mbin doesn't actually support posting things to your profile yet" I meant it in the context established by OP.
Ah, yes. I misinterpreted the context.
