Hello, Fellow e621 Connoisseurs!

I asked the same question on R34 a good while back, But I wondered how you guys do it. Straight to the point: How Do You Find Good Porn?
I got some good answers, Like: "just type in 'Big_Breasts' into the searchbar", "Brouse around the post board until something catches your eye, & then go from there", & others. But i wanna know how you guys do it!

To find good stuff, make sure you get your blacklist correct and in order. get rid of all those things you do not wanna see. it'll help a ton!

Serious answer: You don't, the better thing to do personally is find artists you like. When you know who the artists you like are, you get a reliable source of pieces that's consistent (unless the artist is very experimental)

This entirely. Artists provide the most consistency that you're going to get.

Aside from artists, you could use a general set or your favourites to toss stuff in once you've found it. Works really well if you're fine with doing additions while just browsing in general. My hentai foundry profile has like 11k favourites so it's pretty effortless to find something I like

You could also look for a user with good favourites and write their name down on your profile or something.

I assume the poster meant in general or to upload, not already on here. On here, there's keywords that make it almost trivial. Sadly, not everything is on here, nor does everything belong on here.

In 2005: Ask Google using image search
In 2011: Ask Google but figure out how to get past the adult censor.
In 2023: Ask Google for boorus. Or you know, use an actually working image search.
In 2030: Ask Google for search engines.
In 2040: Don't ask Google, or it'll call thought police. :P

Exact quotes don't even work on Google, anymore. Yandex doesn't really do multikeyword searches very well (they'll tend to be weighted towards the more popular keyword and NO results with both). Somehow Bing beat Google at image searches several years ago. All of them try to outsmart you and fix spelling errors. Yandex is actually even more aggressive than Google at this. The other search engines like DDG seem to just use the others under the hood, or charge money. It's not cheap nor easy to make an index. Some of the P2P networks let you sort of 'subscribe' to indexes. In old days, people used filesharing apps to find things to upload to E-H, but that feels like a unicorn, nowadays. The stuff you can't find often is just available because of say, limited runs, or too obscure.

Pixiv seems good at finding artists with similar tags/themes, when you follow them. Sadly, it's almost all censored, for obvious reasons.

While I'm not into boobs, I think this is the right philosophy. I don't think furries are generally looking for artistic masterpieces for fap material, so it's more of a matter of searching whatever it is you find hot. On e621, there's a tag for everything and you can search for whatever specific combination of tags you want and generally somehow still get results, so you can get creative with your searches. In order to search for exactly what you want, it's important to understand how search works: in particular, make use of - and ~. I find copytags:>0 and copytags:0 can be helpful to search for rule 34 vs. purely OC (non-rule 34) characters.

You can also let whatever images you stumble upon be inspiration for further searches. For example: "Oh, that character masturbating with the water from a showerhead is pretty hot... I wonder if there's a tag for that. Oh, there is!".

But if you are looking for quality, you can use order:rank to see which recent uploads are trending, which is presumably correlated with quality. I don't use it, but I know plenty of people do.

Check the bookmarks/favourites/likes/retweets/whatever of artists and commissioners who post art that you like, you'll probably find thematically similar art.

Always use favourites/bookmarks/likes to your benefit, build up a "collection" from it, and follow artists/commissioners so the art comes to you.

Ok but how do I find well drawn foxes that are acting like people in a convincing way that leaves the impression you just bumped into them being in the middle of their mundane and fully clothed lives?
Give or take a little unguarded silliness or vulnerability?
Like... "Artsy" art of foxes. That aren't naked. And aren't in a really forced or staged (sexual / fetishy) context?

How do I find more stuff like https://e621.net/favorites?user_id=1347672 ?

Start off with fox rating:s, and whittle the content down with -(whatever you dislike)

for example, if you want coloured, you could do -black_and_white, if you don't want something that's part of a larger pool do -inpool:true, if you don't want comics do -comic etc.

Start a tagging project. You'll find gigabytes of porn that you don't even like or want. >:)
