As all of you noticed, I've been uploading my backlog! I'm sorry for your notifications. Retaliate with faves if needed.
Jokes aside, I have been liking this place, the UI feels like "FA but more polished," and the 50mb upload limit is GREAT as I do have quite a few pictures that are above the 10mb limit that FA and Itaku use, unfortunately.
The only two problems I found?
First off, trying to upload a GIF leads to a 502 error, which is a shame, as I would have posted them otherwise.
The second and main one is that, you see all the 52 submissions? I uploaded them manually, one by one! This is hell! I'm lucky that they are all on e621 and I can nab my tags and descriptions, but if they weren't, I would NOT have bothered at all
It's a shame! The uploader is quite smooth, it's just that after 52 uploads one by one, it gets slow compared to dropping a few files like I can on Itaku and Sofurry.
Honestly, when my only criticism is that I wish I could upload faster, it means they did a great job here!

Besides that Weasyl feels very lifeless to me. I have little to no traction there. I generally wish there was a nice alternative next to FA that would work for me xD
the closest I found in activity is Itaku, which I really love, and the only negative is the lack of writing support
And it has a mass uploader so you can catch up easily
I really like the concept of 'critique my art' but doubt i'll ever get to see it in practice with how little happens there.
prob will stick with itaku and FA as my gallery sites.
I do like the "read PDF" button opening it, less cluncky than FA, and Itaku has no writing support.
I also get a decent amount of notifications compared to even Sofurry (a bit less than Itaku though)
