Furaffinity is my favorite for viewing and finding arts. E621 is also excellent.
Twitter, telegram and discord are just awful

is E621 good for less explicit stuff?
I'm on the fence about telegram but I don't wanna just rely on twitter :V

E621 can work. But that site has janitor program that is pretty much just people policing on what they let stay on the site by voting, and if they vote "NO" the person posting the art is punished, and same punishment comes if janitors have not given enough Yes or No votes during a month of the art being there, then it gets deleted also.

Close, but not quite accurate. E621 is curated with users uploading pictures and then specially-picked Janitors (as well as Administrators, but they've got other site-related things to worry about) either approve or reject posts according to several criteria such as relevancy to site (no human-only pictures unless in a pool otherwise furry-centric; humanoids are borderline) and artistic quality (which means that you display a grasp of anatomy and drawing ability; one doesn't need to be the likes of MoodyFerret or Tsampikos to have their pictures accepted). Although there are the inevitable differences in artistic opinion between Janitors, there are also general guidelines they are expected to follow.

Janitors don't vote on pictures; they accept or reject. If an upload is too borderline in some way that they don't feel they can accept it nor outright reject it, they can give an opinion that they think the post isn't relevant or lacks sufficient artistic quality without outright rejecting it (this is likely what JusuSama means by Janitors giving votes) and basically pass the buck to another approver who may or may not agree. Unapproved uploads with and without opinions are auto-rejected in 30 days, and are for the most part posts nobody could decide whether to approve or deny.

Users aren't punished for rejected submissions unless one considers losing a point on their upload formula (a base level of 10 uploads plus 1 upload for every 10 accepted posts minus 1 upload for every 4 rejected posts) to be a punishment. It would take 40 rejected posts and no accepted ones to entirely lose your initial 10 uploads. If something like an artist Takedown clobbers your upload limit into the negatives, you can always message an admin and they can manually adjust it for you. On the other hand, if someone is a problem user, admins can take away one's uploading privileges to prevent troublemaking, but this is rare, and the user can protest it (although if it's come to this point, the loss of uploading privileges is undoubtedly justified).

Interesting

Telegram is fine tbh. i like Weasyl as well :3

I used to go on Weasyl but it got pretty quiet ;3;

FurAffinity, Inkbunny, Weasyl, and especially e621.

The last one has a tagging system that blows everyone else out of the water, although one needs to remember it's based on Tag What You See (Not What You Know). Despite the common perception, e621 is not billed as a porn site, but as a furry art archive that has quite a bit of Explicit works on it. About half of its posts are actually either Safe or Questionable in rating, and creepy behavior can and will get one penalized. It also has an alternate version called e926.net which is basically only all of e621's Safe posts.

That's super helpful, thank you! I'll check it out~

Furaffinity and SoFurry are the only sites I use for viewing furry content personally. Deleted my twitter earlier in the year because it was just a hellish place to exist, haha, and while I do have telegram and discord, I use them to keep in touch with folks I know personally, not for browsing/viewing furry art/stories/etc. :)

understandable haha
and that's why I'm not sure about making a telegram channel, since it's mostly a messenger app :'3

I would be down to join a telegram channel for you!

awesome <3
I'll be sure to make a post if I decide to make the telegram channel!

mastodon.art / masto in general is all i use anymore, they aren't furry-specific but neither am i :')! i'm also not really into explicit/nsfw works so i dont spend a lot of time on here or other sites mentioned, since so much of the front page is that even with the sfw filter on lol. that's just me though

fair enough :'3
I've heard of mastodon, seems to be growing in popularity~

Maybe ArtStation if you seek a more professional place/layout.
Lots of official artwork for various video games and card games can be found there, so it's pretty neat to check out.

I do like artstation but can't stand the dark theme of the site 8'3

In my opinion: post stuff wherever you want as long as you post to at least one proper art gallery and link back to it. Weasyl, e621, your own website, etc.

The main issue is with lossy compression. A lot of websites people like to use for art compress the art and make it blurry and low-quality. It bothers me that so many artists post exclusively to Twitter, Telegram, and/or Firaffinity because they all use lossy compression.

I would love to follow you on Telegram, just please find a place to put your full-size art and link to it!

One of the reasons I keep posting to Tumblr is to have some sort of gallery - though I'm not sure how much of the quality is affected

If you're interested in full size images, I have pwyw art packs on my digital store~ https://payhip.com/ccartcomics

Thanks for your input <3
