Sites I've Tried Outside of FA
8 months ago
SoFurry (2024 Edition) - Super buggy, uploading more than 5 pieces of art can take several days or even weeks, each upload ban lasts 12 hours. Bugs are very upload-focused as well, making it to where it's impossible to upload anything, bug can last several hours as well. Site's also not very active, which is... not surprising, it's new (technically) and in beta. Definitely not likely to use it until it's fully developed at this point.
Weasyl - It's... fine. Pretty dead, though. It's, more or less, a modern FA in function.
Pixiv - Gives me.... Pinterest vibes? It's pretty simple but it's recent ToS changes makes the site not great for NSFW artists. (Censoring law)
DeviantArt - OH BOY.. The memories. I remember when the site was "good", it was like Tumblr for artists and so much damn drama, holy fuck. My friend wasn't even a popular artist and she was targeted constantly like she was a corrupt Youtuber. Also, DeviantArt DID function identically to FA, but you just couldn't upload NSFW art.
Baraag - Not.. really an art site at all, it's apart of the Alternative-to-Twitter site called "Mastodon", it's very anti-user-friendly and I hated every second of it. Never could get used to everything and I don't know if I trust it at all.
Tumblr - Also not an art site but was actively used by artists. I remember loving this site back in it's golden era. It was the drugged up goblin of social media sites. Completely ungovernable and unmarketable, completely unhinged. Annnnnd still around.
Pillowfort - Kiiiiinda an art site...? It functions nearly identically to Tumblr and is basically a replacement for Tumblr artists who draw a fuck-ton of porn. It's.. pretty small and not AS dead as Weasyl, but close. It's okay, I do like it but I feel like it's not going to be around for long because PF constantly has to fundraise the site and it barely makes the mark usually.
