I've been enjoying https://itaku.ee/ for what it's worth. The site's dev is pretty active, and I like being able to swap between gallery-like viewing and feed scrolling, which the site offers both. Admittedly there's not going to be anything that holds a flame to twitter and FA as folks are pretty hesitant to migrate.

Bluesky isn't dead per se, there's just no algorithm to promote your work. This makes advertising a much less automated affair, and more hands-on, meaning you have to invest time and effort into promoting yourself.

While this isn't the best solution, it was viewed as a fair tradeoff to what Twatter does, using the algorithm to feed you shit that's most likely to piss you off, and/or feed into your biases.

In the meantime, seeking out furry art lists and asking the maintainer to add you can help, but more importantly, HASHTAGS WORK NOW!!!

Doing a search for #furry #furryart #furrynsfw and #furryporn brings up LOTS of results now.

oh they actually added tagging to bluesky now?

Yup! As well as gifs and embedded video, too. No DM yet, though, but it's on the roster!

Itaku and Newgrounds are the only others that I know of! The former seems to work well, and the latter's been around and supportive of NSFW art for ages. Only drawback there is that there isn't a "comment" system as much as a "rating" system.

It’s really just itaku that has the kind of traction to compete with FA and twitter

Cohost and Itaku are the best options I've seen to be honest!

well youre like the fourth person to suggest Itaku so i guess i'll try and set up there lol
