Saw on Twitter. When an artist tweet about this app. Mainly for art. Safe for artists to reside.

It become a thing few years back. Big artists used if for almost 24h before they went back to the platform they said they would leave.

I was on DeviantArt and there was a lot of drama going on for Ai art and thieves. I'd been on DA for over 10+ years and I'm saddened by how it's all going downhill. Anyway, after reading through a lot of protest comments, I found somebody talking about Artfol and Artgram with their protection and rules and stuff. I did some research on Artfol and most of the people said it was a very nice place. So I joined.

I used to have an account on an app called Drawcast, and I remember when it was shutting down people were moving to different platforms, which is how I found out about Artfol

I was disappointed with Instagram cause it's impossible to grow if u're small. So I started searching apps for artists, where people could really see what I do, and here I am, never regretted.

I was disappointed with Instagram, I searched for similar apps to share images but more artist-friendly, I happened to stumble on a few people recommending Artfol.

I saw one of artfol's posts on instagram in 2020, they posted art someone made of a humanized artfol and two memes about artfol having features instagram artists dream about, and it got me interested. So I saved it. Some time later I downloaded the app and wasn't disappointed!

An Instagram story of an artist I follow when the app was still in beta. I had hoped that people would move from platforms that are unfriendly to artists, or making stupid leadership decisions. That.... Didn't really happen, but here I am. Still

I think it was duchess celestia's 'best social media for artists' vid. I was trying to find a good platform, because all of them were and still are, trash.
