I severely dislike the UI/UX and feel like it will have to be drastically revamped as its user base grows. There's also drama (which may or may not be legitimate issues).

So for now I'm using it as a backup site, keeping it up to date, but following people elsewhere (like here) if possible.

I haven't used it. But only because I'm not interested in another furry dominated site. That said, I've looked through it and my bf has an account there.

I think it looks nice. Most people in the furry community have griped about it but I think it hearkens to more professional art sites like the late CgHub, DrawCrowd, or ArtStation. The site, from what I've seen also functions as a social media platform. So artsite+facebook perhaps.

The drama which I feel like can never be escaped in this community seems to be largely centered around a few things. An old site that one of the creators shut down because of some very questionable content. The ban on 'cub' or any erotica depicting minors. And the good old 'but this isn't FA' argument.

Much luck regardless of where you go!
