Be respectful and kind.
Tag NSFW content as NSFW.
No isms. None.
No content that includes sexual depictions of minors (this includes loli)
Artistic nudity is fine, but pornographic content may be more suited for pornographic instances instead.
Do not spam (posting links to stores, commission pages, etc, are encouraged and do not fall within this rule so long as the linked sites comply with our rules and are restricted to either their respective communities or within post bodies/profile pages.)
AI art is restricted to AI specific communities only.
No NFTs. There are instances dedicated to discussing crypto, please use those instead for NFT/Crypto discussions.

Please backup your art and consider using an outside image host. Do not use this instance as your sole host for your artwork.

Suggested Image Posting Practices

Images that are directly uploaded outside of this instance may or may not be automatically compressed, it depends on your home instance image posting settings. It’s a good idea to use an alternative image host (especially if you are uploading gifs)

Some good image hosts are:

catbox.moe (this host might be blocked by some ISPs around the world, be mindful of that fact!)

imgbox.com

imgur.com (throwback to Reddit. Remember not to upload anything slightly NSFW here, it may be removed by imgur without warning if you do.)

For those visiting from other instances, we have a community directory to make finding communities easier:

!411@lemmyloves.art

Also check out our sister instance @ literature.cafe

Please consider donating, as the cost of this instance is likely to rise over time.
