@Eiliakins's post on Artfol

That feel when you want to share neat artwork you've found but you worry it might feel spammy to those who follow you. :')

Do I find it annoying when people I follow share art from other artists? No. I've found several new artists to follow via shares here!
Do I worry others might find it annoying if I did it? Absolutely! What if they already have that piece on their timeline from 10 other people who shared it?

Sound logic, me. :U This is why I hardly ever comment on stuff on Twitter. Worrying people would find it annoying to see 50000 textposts from me, heh.

I've been thinking of doing this thing where I'd share one piece from each person I follow. 🤔 That way it shouldn't get spammy AND I still get to show off the neat artists I've stumbled upon here in case anyone following me might also want to follow them. I'd just have to start with the ones I already follow.

Wonder if this app shows past shares anywhere? Like, shows them to people who DON'T follow you or to new followers. It'd be a shame if not since then the first ones I'd share would only be seen by like 6 people. Aaaaaa!

Oh well. I'll try to share stuff from the people I now follow, one each, over the next couple of days until I've caught up and then see how often I find more people to follow!

Also I wanna know if textposts and shares show up somewhere in my profile!

I say go for it! I have a setting where the shares are smaller for me in my feed. So it doesn't feel too spammy and I can see the art from who I follow clearly. :3c don't worry about spam tho, it's always nice seeing more art 👀

Gosh, I felt this post, I don't wanna spam and yet I want to share so many beautiful works to appreciate them! I get the dilemma here hhhh

Oh yes I have been through that! But honestly if ppl find what you are passionate about not to their liking they can literally just mute you or smth? You do what you want, plus what you're doing is kinda noble I'd say
I suggest sharing in limited numbers at a time so it won't be spammy and ppl will interact with those :)
Oh yes everything you share, post and textpost shows up in the middle(?) button on your profile. The one between the profile home page and about page idk what it's called😭🥴

Oh. The app doesn't show the people you follow in the order you followed them? Oh boy. Wonder if there's a way to figure that out.. x'D Oh well, the order may be random or not!

I post this and immediately find 2 new artists to follow via shares from people I follow. xD (Also confirmed these AND shares do show up on our profiles! Sweet!)
