Serving an Artfol of content with a cup of Ko-fi
This post was originally published on Blogger. It has been modified to reflect my current username in the mentioned realms and append some updates in the footnotes.
I started using Artfol and Ko-fi this week.
Artfol serves as an expansion for my social media presence. This social media platform for artists is a great concept, especially for those who want to escape the dreaded algorithms of other existing platforms. My favorite features in this app are the chronological feed and the community tab. I can see recent artworks from artists that I follow; answer questions about art and beyond from others; and maybe comment on someone's text post. However, it is quite laggy, at least right now.1
If you want to support me financially, you can do so on Ko-fi anytime. I am planning to post exclusive content (such as works in progress and wallpapers), set up commissions, and open an online shop where I sell e-books and other digital goods.2
Artfol can already be accessed as a website. It seems to be less laggy than its mobile app despite rarely visiting that realm.↩
Unfortunately, I have stopped writing posts and putting e-books on Ko-fi. I want to archive my posts there, clean up my personal feed, and just put some digital goods (especially wallpapers and decorative stickers).↩
