@sakuraa_samsaraa's post on Artfol
Here's a bit of a nostalgia inducing QOTD!
☆ When/How did you discover Artfol? ☆
Or...
☆ What was your first social media account? How was your beginnings? ☆
I'm talking when you first discovered Artfol/Social media in general!
I'd like to say that it's been a full year since my arrival on Artfol, though I can't say for sure if my account was made in December or early January at the time of writing this! ☆
As for my first account? Probably DeviantArt. Since I was in a pony phase when I first joined (cough illegally cough), I was kinda... A jerk.
Long story short; I didn't respect closed species and single handedly had a VERY rough start and build-up. Only to transition into anthros and humans a year later, where my pony phase somewhat died out. OrzJan 4, 2022

I discovered Artfol through people on Instagram talking about it, and waited to join until after the beta phase was finished 
My first social media account was Da. For the longest time, I would read comics on there with no account (mainly pokemon mystery dungeon fanfictions) and eventually wanted to make my own account to make my own pmd fanfiction comic. Funny story, never got more than a few pages in and I ended up switching accounts

My first art social media was I guess technically tapas but really it was artfol lol ok a newbie when it comes to posting art online
•
I discovered artfol earlier this year when a friend told me about it. Had to download an emulator on my laptop because my phone wouldn't run it. My first social media account was Facebook and that was to play FarmVille lmao I've like never used it as an actual social media (besides talking to friends on messenger)
•
I discovered artfol by looking for an art app and when I searched art the name “artfol” popped up and I thought I recognized it so I tapped it and that’s the beautiful story about how I met artfol
•
I saw Artfol in someone's Instagram story and started following the development.
My first social media ever was Polyvore. Polyvore was unique because it didn't depend on user-generated images, instead the app found images across the web that people would make collages out of and share them. The images had credits automatically placed on them but sometimes the image was found from a repost on Pinterest or something so yeah there were some art theft issues occasionally. But Polyvore was mainly about clothes and outfits so there wasn't really that much of that.

A big artist I dont even follow complained about this site and since I dont care about other people opinions I decided to tried myself
•
My friend @lcl_idnclariss introduced me to the app a few months ago (i think? Can't remember spesifically when i started)
My first art account should be the deviantart account whose password i've forgotten. I recalled posting my first ever digital art there back in 2017, and someone commented something along the lines of "cute! But i think the head and neck look a bit merged..." genuinely believing that whoever this is only said "cute" to be nice, cuz it was even worse than my stickman arts from when i was 5.

I found Artfol through YouTube, I was searching for an alternative to Instagram since Instagram takes a lot of time and you would have to post consistently it was so tiring but here it's way more chilled out
•
I discovered it June of last year, I don’t remember how.
My first social media that I remember is YouTube, and besides being…commented those links, spammed by bots, etc, it’d nice!

I found it after searching for websites/apps for artist. My first ever social media account was on Amino and I’m kinda glad because it wasn’t nearly as toxic as other places in my experience. If tiktok was popular around then I would’ve developed some very bad issues I just know.
•
I discovered Artfol through just a casual scroll on the play store and I kinda forgot when I first got here but my first account is on Insta and it's still up... Beginnings went quite well since I did my research and had relatively okay art despite just starting out as an artist
•
I found it when a post on Instagram explore caught my eye lol
It was in a distracted boyfriend meme format, the girl was with Deviantart and distracted with Instagram. On the next slide it showed the girl now with Instagram, distracted by a new platform, personified by a cute cartoon boy in a pink hoodie with a bandaid on his face.
I read the description where it said the platform was called Artfol and how it was made by fellow artists for artists and I just thought, “man… I HAVE to know more!”

I found it after a bunch of animators and artists, specifically Joycawn, announced the creation of their Artfol accs. I thought the layout looked rlly nice and chose it to start my art acc. And I don't regret it!
However, this isn't my first art account. I used to have an amino account when I was 11 and was in the warrior cats amino, as well as 2 others. I eventually lost interest in it tho since I lost touch with those fandoms.
Nowadays I don't like the Warrior cats fandom because of it's constant drama and harassment of young children for making mistakes. Imagine harassing children over putting egyptian earrings on a cat, couldn't be me

I discovered Artfol recently because i searched on youtube for other social media platforms than Instagram and deviantart to share art on.
I have had Instagram for a long time, since 2016/2017-ish and i found it hard to gain followers especially an active community. I was stuck, so now i’m trying with Artfol which has been an absolute pleasure ever since i started:)
I still have Instagram though

I saw some artist I love on Instagram talking about it and I went "oh! Cool!" And looked it up immediately. I think I joined like a month before the official release cause Android users had early access. It was last April or March maybe.
Before I was on artfol, I've been on insta. I haven't done very good there (not that I've done fantastic here either but it's much better!) I have a little more than a hundred followers here and I only have 80 some on insta (on an acc I've had for four years)

•
Found it through twitter. It's now my main social along with DeviantArt and low-key Ko-fi.
•
I found it via Instagram.
I was supper unhappy there and ended up quitting and joining this place as soon as it opened up
