Is Tumblr Good For Fur Art??

I'm alive and have a tablet once again if anyone didn't notice! Okay so I made a blog on tumblr https://mrgordusk.tumblr.com/ and I'm so confused. I feel old and not with it and barely understand Tumblr right now. <x3 anyone else running one? I checked in the settings that it would be an explicit blog, is that all you have to do before you submit those kinds of posts? Also I read something about explicit blogs not showing up in search results which I find really confusing, because why would you post at all if no one could ever find what you posted? Most importantly is there a significant audience for the kind of content you find around here on there? I really can't tell either way. Anyway ... I'm probably going to post things both here and there from now on just to experiment.
Since you have lots of old content you can post regularly, I think you can get enough traction to start getting followers who will reblog your art and then your audience will only grow with time.
I'm not 100% sure but I think explicit blogs do show up on searchs if people have that option activated.
Oh, and if it makes you feel any better, pretty much every person I've known who uses Tumblr had some trouble with the site at first. You'll get it eventually. xP
Every just has to be reminded about it. Not many read journals so maybe an art flyer submission would help a bit more than a journal.
Its a good place to drop your art at. Its like a shelf you put books on ;D.
Post whatever you want there. Im sure some followers will like it.
Best idea is to post stuff there thats no one will see here. Then that will get them to go there.
Just an idea though.
The filter its something new of this year, but its great as it prevent not register user to get in your blog if its porn.
I guess that is the only I can say too, at least for what I've notice too.
The other, its making "famous" furry character or "the furry of the moment" and they will come as bee to you.
Twitter has been rather useful for me, I also didn't think of using it for posting art for a very long time. BUT it is easy to reach users in asia this way, who may not use Tumblr or FA. So it icreases your audience a tiny bit. Both are only supplements though.
