Looks thru followers and sees almost everyone hasn't been active in over two years
Not begging for engagement!!! If anything I wander why those artists left the app? I quite like it here despite not having a huge following. I have some friends I talk to and everyone here is open when I have art questions.Sep 9, 2023

From what I recall, most people left Artfol soon after they first got it back in 2021 because…
1. The server was actually overloaded for MONTHS after the app was first released because THAT many people wanted to get away from Instagram, including some really big people like Dana Terrace!
2. The app was very limited in what you could do back then! Three hashtags for posts…. shivers
3. Sort of an add on to point one, but people got upset/still get upset that Artfol isn’t just a perfect copy of Instagram but isn’t owned by Facebook. Yes, this is legitimately why many people have left Artfol. I don’t understand it at all.
4. Some people just forgot they had the app since it does take a while to make it a habit to check out a new app when everyone’s used to just checking Instagram & Twitter (& maybe other platforms too!)
