Usually I like to just remember the names of the artists, or use Re621 to follow my favorite artists, but every (fucking) time I enter e621 I find a thousand new artists and I can’t stop scrolling, it’s an endless cycle: I find an interesting image, I enter the artist’s page, I spend a while checking their profile and seeing the images I like, repeat.
I don’t consider it unhealthy because I don’t really do it very often, BUT EVERY TIME I do it I can last a couple of hours in this endless cycle.
I self host szurubooru on a pi and upload everything again there. Then I use a python script to attempt to sync e621 tags to organise it all, though some manual tagging is required when dealing with non-e6 images.
