Could we create a better gallery site? (yiffit.net)

Could I just do it? Not right now. My programing experience is python scripts and embedded systems and I have no knowledge of anything sysadmin or infrastructure.

People are always complaining about whats around and we have lots of smart techy people here, so why not?

Mm yes I agree - it would be hard to improve on E6. FA has its problems, but it's not that bad.

e6 as a repo is outstanding, but as a gallery, its frontend is a bit inconvenient.

(tho I'm working on an Android app for that (and other boorus + inkbunny as well))

I only ever think of e6 as a place to browse. A lot of whats on there is not uploaded by the artists. For what it is, I don't think you could easily improve on it

[–] OmegaMouse 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd say FA is better in that respect, because it (usually) comes from the artist themselves and you can get more of a background on their page. Like you say in your other comment, people often abandon ship but FA always comes out on top.

[–] l_b_i@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Part of FA coming out on top is because there is a feeling of nowhere else to go. I've lost track of how many artists/creators have gone to twitter only.

That's a shame, because browsing Twitter really sucks in my opinion :( I have noticed the same thing though

Browsing Twitter sucks even more now after the manchild got ahold of it. Whenever I try to find a source for something and it's on Twitter I just give up and link their handle instead. Great if you want your art to scroll across someone's timeline, not great if you want to find it ever again.

I have never had a twitter account. If I want to see something have to use nitter now, nitter.privacydev.net/ is the only one I know that supports 18+. I avoid using that instance when possible because it gets rate limited frequently.
