Nice one! I think this small server needs more general communities for the time being - there’s a risk of too many communities for too few people. It’s something I remember from an article about Discord, which can really suffer from that problem. I’d make a general/chat community were it not for the fact I’d have to moderate it. In the mean time I might post something to this community later.

I see. That one came from Pixelfed but I see. Same thing I guess. I should be OK to crosspost still, doubt I’ll need to delete my posts too often.

Sweet! Sorry to keep sending posts to your test community, but this is fantastic news. I’ll note that the gif was converted to an MP4 that doesn’t play on the lemmy page. Edit: Huh, I deleted this from my pixelfed account - either it hasn’t updated on lemmy yet or lemmy’s made a copy of it’s own?

Somehow, back in 2003-4ish I found the fantasy art gallery Elfwood. Obviously I went to the first gallery, which had Ursula Vernon, Xianjaguar and a few other furries. From there I followed their links to Yerf and Livejournals and found more old school furry artists including Heather Bruton (…responsible for my “I like men now” moment).

Later I found deviantart, then the webcomic twokinds and eventually FA. I only really got involved in 2020, posting on twitter and reddit but never really found a community or friend group until looking into the furry scene on Twitch.
