Welcome to Artfol!
There isn’t much of an algorithm here, so it makes a more level “playing field” for users! The best way to grow on here is to interact with other users through either complimenting art or through the Community Tab! If you want a question text post to appear in the Questions Tab, add the hashtag “question” in the little hashtag section of the text post!
As a warning, we’ve been having a problem with a hate troll on here since November. If you suddenly receive a nasty/offensive comment or see a nasty/offensive text post, or see something about how “dwarves are great & elves suck,” it’s very likely to be “dwarf guy.” These things tend to either come from an account that may have the keywords “dwarf,” “mountain,” or “supremacist” in the username &/or a user who’s profile picture is sometimes art of a bald bearded man (dwarf.) This user has stolen other users’ dwarf art, told people to off themselves, promoted violence against LBGT+ folks, promoted s*xual violence against women, & has repeatedly came into people’s comment sections to harass & bully them. Their last 8 or so accounts have all been banned for their gross behavior.
They still have an account up that’ll likely be made well known soon because they usually start harassing people, so if you’d like to report & block, it’s @/dawiofthemountain & they’ve stolen @/aruart ‘s art. The Art Theft report will ask for a link to the OG artist, so here’s the link! https://artfol.me/aruart Thankfully, they only seem to be active on here like once a week, so it’s not issue everyday!
If you see one of their posts or they comment on a post, (either yours or someone else’s) DO NOT INTERACT. This user is a troll, & trolls LOVE attention, & they’ve made it clear they come here for attention. Their entire goal is to upset as many people as possible & start fights. Report the user (2 dotted icon on a profile or post will let you report things) & summarize what they’ve done in the report, (harassment & is the dwarf guy) block the account, & if they commented on one of your posts, delete the comment like nothing happened. The Devs are fully aware of this user, as their last 6 accounts have been banned in about an hour or less! The more reports an account or post gets from multiple users, the higher it goes on the devs’ list to investigate & take proper action! Apparently, they can’t ban their IP address because it’s too expensive, like at least $1,000 expensive!
Despite all of that mess, Artfol is still a chill & fun place to be! I hope you enjoy it here!
