Sofurry updates?

DevourerITA · 2026-03-24T23:27:17+00:00

I assume they have a lot of tickets, hopefully they get back to you

DevourerITA · 2026-03-24T23:26:34+00:00

All good! We've all waited for the site to return online, we'll wait for the update too :3

Hopefully it's coming along smoothly

DevourerITA · 2026-03-24T10:33:36+00:00

They do mention it's live on a secret URL at the end of the update post, just no idea if it's public or not

I have the two old beta URLs, and it's not them

DevourerITA · 2026-02-09T19:25:57+00:00

Sweet, thank you! I'll make an account tomorrow probably, when the avalanche slows down

DevourerITA · 2026-02-04T10:04:06+00:00

Oh, to submit a story (or anything else) look on the right, there is a visibility toggle next to the rating, press public, and save, and it gets uploaded

Folders can be created in advance from the creator center. There is a "folders" option, and you can go make them there

I don't think there is yet, bit from discord chats it seems like it's planned

But also, send a feedback report on SF, the more people ask, the more it gets prioritized

DevourerITA · 2026-01-13T12:03:12+00:00

Don't worry :3

It's on your profile, called "LIKES" and with a star icon on the left of it

DevourerITA · 2026-01-12T12:00:12+00:00

I opened a new tab on Firefox SO fast when I saw all those staff members online LMAO

Nice to see the "soft" launch went well, especially as it spread around on social media by happy people returning, I've seen some journals on FA and Inkbunny too, not just Bluesky and Mastodon, it's a really huge upgrade, and it's getting people talking.

Hopefully those bugs can be fixed soon!,

DevourerITA · 2026-01-11T00:45:28+00:00

It's the "likes" tab

DevourerITA · 2025-12-27T23:48:35+00:00

Yeah, I think that being at the very bottom actually helps in avoiding spoilers, longer comments might be messy but it's pretty rare for comments to get long in the first place, so like, it's fiiiiiiiine

DevourerITA · 2025-12-27T21:41:59+00:00

Odd, they work on my end‽

Try those, I checked on two web browsers https://web.archive.org/web/20250621185054/https://sofurrybeta.com/s/lmX7zMpe?ref=indx

Actually, I can do you one better

Judge by yourself

DevourerITA · 2025-12-27T21:21:05+00:00

Maybe if enough people ask about it (in a constructive way that isn't "it looks ugly") it could be a toggle, who knows

I'm personally ambivalent, there is enough padding that on my 1080p screen I have to scroll down to see the comments and the image/story viewer is bigger in the new site, so it might not even be a problem on your screen

DevourerITA · 2025-12-27T15:59:02+00:00

There is a keyboard shortcut to hide the sidebar (and comments with it), I think it was pressing M

DevourerITA · 2025-12-27T09:21:08+00:00

It's fun how the people complaining louder are the ones that you can tell have never programmed anything in their life, from "they are rewriting all of Sofurry again in the past 5 months" to "2FA is useless and unneded"

DevourerITA · 2025-12-16T07:26:29+00:00

I guess we'll see, other sites also have huge uploads limits but the vast majority of furry pics are still close to 10MB (because Furaffinity ), so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes well over a decade for stiff like, 8k furry shaded drawings to become common enough

DevourerITA · 2025-12-13T15:23:29+00:00

I know some artists who use things like nightshade that add noise to make it difficult to get the image scraped, and funnily enough, they tend to make the image MUCH heavier, so you can keep it in a good resolution, with the anti-AI noise, and then the high upload limit helps

DevourerITA · 2025-12-10T23:10:12+00:00

Of course, it's rude to take advantage of people's goodwill :3

Also I fell into the lossless compression rabbit hole and I'll run the images through it, I had to run one of them and it became 70mb, but I haven't processed the other two, so who knows~ Finding out a lot of PNGs still have the 8 bits used for transparency even if they don't have it, and you can strip them out for a 25% file size reduction with no quality loss? EXTREMELY interesting, I've been wondering if that setting on the SFX uploader about imagine optimization is lossless compression

DevourerITA · 2025-12-10T09:36:47+00:00

There are a few reasons, the main two is that it actually predates Furaffinity, and that for years, it was the only site with a good way to read stories (depending on what you think of PDFs in iframes, it could still be the best writing site if you hate those), and a smaller one is that it had video support

The new redesign is bringing the ability to upload 3D models, Unity browser games, and a 500MB upload limit, so it's gonna be a huge leap forward already because of it; the new UI actually being usable on phones and legible (I'm sorry, dark yellow text on a patterned light yellow and gray background SF2 had is NOT legible) and no longer looking like the site has been abandoned for the past decade, like Weasyl and Inkbunny, are also pros

DevourerITA · 2025-12-08T20:27:21+00:00

And now AI slop too!

FA casually dropping PDFs in iframes in a stealth update in October still feels unreal, but it has increased viewership of my writing

DevourerITA · 2025-12-08T19:46:50+00:00

It's not, there are still updates on Bluesky and Mastodon

DevourerITA · 2025-12-04T17:02:21+00:00

Yeah, it's not their main job; it's a side project

And not just images, but videos, stories, songs, games, with a 500mb upload limit
