Honestly it feels so much more lively than Furaffinity and other sites. Nowhere else do I get comments and favourites on my stuff from folks who don't even follow me, its genuinely refreshing!
I mean... It certainly isn't the most active, can't argue with that, but it feels really nice otherwise.
I can certainly say it helps with the social side of things; I've always liked the low traffic here to be honest. Feels like that moment where folks start to swarm an ignored area (like Alaska) but then suddenly the locals notice a sudden swarm of people coming in out of the blue. It raises both admiration and concern.
I totally agree with you here! :D I migrated as a refugee from devianart almost 5 years ago and unlike deviantart, weasyl has a nice warm welcoming community ^w^ I moved here to escape from the bullies and their dramas, and honestly migrating here was just the best choice I ever made ^-^ people here are so nice unlike da and I've made alotta friends + a few fans here, I'm just so glad to be here instead ^w^

I've heard so many complain about the low traffic, but honestly if that's the price of a calm community of artists I think I will be okay with it.
Been here actively for years and I don't yet see any reason to pack up.
