There are More active people on Weasyl than DeviantArt right now. I just checked my Artist Notifs on DA since about April (that's been 3 months). I'm watching 614 people on DA, and 429 on Weasyl. I clear my Notifs on Weasyl DAILY. Today I deleted off DA 20 deviations (I think I cleared them once in between), ~30 journals, about 20 polls, and about 30 status updates. THATS IT. That's IIIT. ANd i've been watching new artists on DA too.
DeviantARt is actually REALLY dead. It's insaine how it got Killed in such a drastic way. HOLY HELL. Like, to run an artsite that was the largest in the world to drag through the mud where it is less active than my ALTS is just crazy.
Like, I'm not talking about favs, but people who are posting. I do get favs still on DA, but everything else is just abysmal. there's no interaction, no journals and stories, and I don't see much new art as you can see. Most people who interact with me on DA are folks who also interact with me on all the other places I reside as well (like cross post commenting). The views count are fake, because my favs haven't changed to much since they pooped stuff up taking into account folks who left. I'm pretty sure they're counting views like advertisers do "It appeared on soemone's screen" not "They clicked on it to view in large".
But yeah, as a watcher, I'm getting more content from the people I watch on Weasyl than I am Deviantart. That says quite a lot. I get more content from people I watch on Newgrounds than DA, too, and I follow far less people on newgrounds. DA's atmosphere really makes me quite sad.
SO, If you'd like to watch me on Weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/~uluri
If you don't have an account, I'd be glad to vouch for ya for making a new one. they have an Anti-spambot thing in place where active users need to "vouch" for new users. I haven't seen a single spambot in a year because of this. :3 It's real nice. Just send me a note on one of the sites I link at the bottom of my page here. ((Here is a video about weasyl I made a few years ago: https://youtu.be/E6geITXJzWc ))
OH, and if You got a Newgrounds: https://uluri.newgrounds.com/
I got one too. My Newgrounds has also been more active than DA as well. <u<
I have some others I actively post linked belowin the "My Art Sites" section.

It really is. DA used to be my second most active website to be on right behind FA. What they did to it is absolutely abysmal handling of a website.

It sounds like Eclipse proved to be like what a medieval eclipse was--"the end of all things" to people. Even before I did anything with the internet at all, when I was just pen-palling--everyone always talked about DA all the time, so it's a site that's been around for a very long time. It's a shame that it came down to all of this. :/

Since Eclipse took over, I've only posted a handful of things on my dA, ALL of them basically just self-advertisements and reminders to follow me on here. FurAffinity and YouTube.

I've cross posted actively on all my platforms, so seeing where things ended up while I was still fully completely active there myself has been so frustrating. To grow a community just for it to vanish due to the owners awful changes to it has been awful. It's been 2 years I think and they still don't have groups integrated. They're still back in the old layout and non-compatible with their current one. They put their commissions payout feature behind a frikken paywall when you already give a percentage for commissions through their widget to begin with.
-
Hence why I and most other users boycotted the site the day Eclipse become permanent. I'd have just deleted the account outright if I still didn't have a couple thousand older posts there that I've been waiting to hear from the people who requested/commissioned them about re-uploading them, but it seems they either never bothered to make accounts on other sites or they just went completely social media silent.

I wish my Weasyl was more active too. I like it more that DA and other gallery websites but it's so... dead, unfortunately

WOW. I have to say, that IS impressive, given all the weirdity of DA in the past year.
