    Weasyl has a very similar function and feel to DeviantArt before the most recent redesigns that it's been going through the past handful of years.

    I visited it, and it seems to be more of a Fur Affinity alternative.

    Responsive and professional leadership that is constantly working to improve the site. Most of the same features without DeviantArt's later bloat. Staunchly opposes AI-generated content. Actual moderation that clamps down on trolling/adbots etc.

    it's closest thing Deviantart alternatives are like old-school deviantart, before Artspacious is up

    Side7 is a small art site that feels a lot like old-time DeviantArt. AI-generated art is not allowed, and the site offers a range of privacy settings. You can upload your original characters into your profile and create charts for them. Another thing that makes it a worthy DeviantArt alternative is its groups. They work almost like the ones on DA did. Side7 allows you to use HTML in most parts of the site. The coding community and I found a way to make profile themes and journal skins, so if you are into customizations and chill, tight-knit communities, Side7 might be a place for you. The admin and the moderator are great, and they are constantly trying to improve the site and listen to the users. Side7 might not be the most suited for getting many followers, but it is fantastic if you want to quit the rat race of big-name websites and live off-grid drawing what you love.
