#My art doesn't hold a candle to any of this tbh and i don't want to @ anyone and be annoying

@ your tags in that Tumblr functionality post

I have trouble looking for anything on Twtr, but do you have any tips on how to really just find fanart and stuff there?

All the artists seem to have moved there and I follow topics I want to see stuff for, but sometimes people title their art in vague ways and sometimes I also just want to find artists.

It's a mess. I initially liked being there, but it turned out to be much more hostile and clumsy to navigate, so I also just mostly check it for art or news, sometimes maybe general discourse.

Not that Tumblr doesn't have any issues, but I think the good outweighs the bad to a larger degree here.

for sure! tumblr has always had its own problems although sometimes i think the brokenness of the coding here adds to the charm lmao

unfortunately I don't really have an efficient way to find artists on twitter either. generally what i have been doing is finding people who regularly like/retweet art and then go through their following list to see who all they follow and check out those twitter accounts. it's regrettably a time consuming process (and a LOT of my feed is just Japanese tweets that i do not understand lol), but once i get on a roll with a few artists, many of them also like/retweet each other's posts, so that helps expose me to more of them. like i've found a lot of kyojuro artists this way lol!

i'm honestly not proficient at all with twitter lol when everyone started mass migrating over there i attempted to try working with it a little more but it just doesn't hold a candle to me in comparison to all of the features that tumblr has. not to mention that while i don't mind reading some discourse here and there if it's kinda mild, i hit my limit with fandom discourse years ago and it seems like twitter is absolutely atrocious with it all. like i just wanna have a good time, please lol

there's also the issue (for me anyway) of how very hard it is to gain enough of a following to make posting content a viable activity. (there's really nothing gif/graphic makers can effectively do on there and the only "gif accounts" that have a good following are reposters 🥴). I'm just much more comfortable here tbh lol if tumblr ever dies i'm gonna have a rough time 😂
