On Instagram and Art Engagement

Posted by LarisB - June 25th, 2023


Hey everyone :) Laris here.


So I've been an Instagram resident for 2 years now. I've built a small but decent following over there, until now. You see, someone at Instagram decided that they were gonna remove the recent tab from hashtags, which effectively means that it's practically impossible for small artists like me to gain a following without paying up for advertising.


This sucks, obviously! I've called Instagram home for 2 years, but alas, it's time to move to another home, I guess.


Since Newgrounds is one of the best art sites around that has also stayed free of enshittification, I'm planning on giving Newgrounds a higher priority in where I post art. Besides, Newgrounds has stayed alive for 30 years now, and Tom Fulp really genuinely cares about the site, so I'll give this a real shot.


Expect more arts to come here real soon :)

Welcome!

Hey there! Thanks for greeting me. I've been on Newgrounds for a while, but I didn't really take this site seriously until late with the enshittification trend that's going on with social media.

@LarisB I think you'll find more luck here to a moderate degree, instagram is hell for artists. But at the same time being "big" on ng is completely different then on other platforms. either way, it's nice to see new people being active :)
