# Introduction

Here is a general breakdown of my workflow. It looks like a lot because it is. While you can speed up the process and use an automation tool, the whole point of posting by hand (or manually) is to have a more human element to this as that's pretty much how it was "back in the day." Also to be able to help by ensuring you wrote your descriptions, and tags proper, or at least to the best of your ability. I'm sure majority of you now see posts on platforms like FA that are empty, have zero tags, and you don't know who the artist is, or even where to contact them.

Before getting into this, the text below follows the rules of todo.txt which is just a set of guidelines for plaintext productivity. Feel free to use whatever you like, it should all be about the same in the end.

# Conditional Platforms

    Toyhouse[^9]: (*Requires invite, or paid tokens.) This is mostly for adopts. If we get a commission through this platform, extra steps are taken to transfer the character or art to your account upon completion.
    Pixelfed[^10] Abandoned.
    Weasyl[^11] Abandoned.
    Pillowfort[^12] (*Requires invite, or paid tokens.) Ultimately abandoned, for...a number of personal reasons.
    *If a platform is not listed here, we don't have it, or use it anymore. This applies to Instagram, X, discord, etc.

# Advice

Learning the absolute basics of GIT is handy, but not required.

"Git" has a handful of ways it can be used, and it's not always just a terminal only thing. You can use it in the web if you prefer.

I would suggest using a Forgejo instance, but if you just wanna get going, Github or Gitlab should do you just fine. (On the Forgejo website, they have resources and comparisons of various other instances.)

Using tools you love! This is pretty vital. Do you legitimately hate using Trello? Prefer Notion? Maybe you just like using your own Email, or notepad? Don't force yourself to use something you really don't like. If it adds too much friction, maybe consider looking elsewhere. (This applies to platforms too. Maybe you don't like Instagram, or X, and prefer Bluesky or Toyhouse?) Sometimes using something else, can help you think outside the box and use a tool differently than it was intended: "Anything is a hammer if you want it to be." Type philosophy.

If "Admin" work is maybe not your thing, consider hiring a friend, or a trusted person to help you out. Granted this only really works if your digital life is your full-time job. You don't need to be a furry artist to have help in this area. You could be a streamer, or blogger. Whatever it may be, this still applies. You don't need to do it all alone if you can reach out. Note: This work requires you to fully trust whoever you employ, as they will have access to all your accounts, passwords, etc. Please do choose carefully. Do not use the same passwords across your social media, or accounts, ever. Practice good internet safety!

Consider having your own website. Even if you don't know how to code, or don't have any initial plans to use it. (Consider Hugo[^18]?) Most public instances of Git all have a way for you to host your own websites. Otherwise you can fallback on Neocities[^19] and Nekoweb[^20]! The web is vast, you can always spend a few minutes searching up "how to" and likely come across a way to do whatever it is you want to do. Ask around if you need help, look up a video tutorial, there's plenty of information out there but-- please remember most things do take time. Some of this cannot be done in less than 10m unless you know what you're doing. If you rush into this thinking it can be done fast, you might crash and burn and not want to continue. Practice good patience. Slow down. Take your time and have fun! If you're not having fun, what's the point?
