Someone over at Anime-Planet actually did the work of compiling most of (if not all?) the manga (plus others) that never got fully released in English. There's plenty for all of us to cry over, that's for sure.

This is a scam that’s prevalent on Bluesky so please be aware. The scammer will copy an artist’s profile & create a nearly identical handle. They block the artist & reach out to their followers asking for money. If you’re contacted by a scammer let the artist know then report the scammer please.

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

Up-to-date BlueSky Crop Aspect Ratio
Crop Sizes for Bluesky as of 18 Oct 2024

By default, single images are uncropped. If image is too tall (Exceeds the 1:2 aspect ratio) then it will be cropped. Single images that are too tall may be scaled down but aspect ratio is preserved

With two images, both of them share a square aspect ratio of 1:1

For three images, the first image is square (1:1) while the other two are half-squares (2:1)

And for 4 images, all of them are 3:2

With all of us coming here to Bluesky, we are all essentially hitting a big reset button. Twitter promoted a lot of toxic unhealthy traits in the pursuit for clout thanks to its awful algorithm. Here, those toxic fucks don't have an algorithm to push their bullshit. This is a huge chance for us.

Eyo, just a little heads up for artists. 👀 When someone comments under your post "What is this artstyle called?", do not answer it in a serious manner. They're asking for prompts they can put in midjourney to generate art. I've seen it a lot on pinterest and twitter. just block them, if possible.
