how about i maintain a backlog of the characters i'd like to cosplay one day so that when i think about it i don't go "uuuh who do i want to cosplay already"

• Richard III (Baraou no Souretsu)
• Zoya (Path to Nowhere)
• Lady Maria (Bloodborne)
• Gladiia (Arknights) (-> looks like there's a pattern over here)
• Arlecchino (Genshin Impact) (also probably Yelan if i get confident enough...)
• Rutile (Houseki no Kuni)
• Kafka (Honkai Star Rail) (-> actually i've ordered one so it might be sooner than expected!)
• Himeno (Chainsaw Man)
• Angela and Binah (Library of Ruina) (-> one fun trivia is that i actually share the same height as Binah so i have no other choice but to cosplay her, this is fate at work)
• Nao (Skip and Loafer)
• Luna-Terra (!!) (Heaven Will Be Mine)
• one day i'll become the ultimate Tae Takemi cosplayer

TOMORROW I'M TURNING THE SAME AGE AS MICHEL BOLLINGER??

# The Cohost Global Feed : unofficial "global timeline", people use this tag for posts they want people in general to see. There's also variations on it for horniness, gayness, political affiliation, dumbassery... let the suggested tags be your muse! Come up with new ones! Use the search feature!

# The Cohost Local Feed (wherever) look up your town or state or country and see if there's a "local" feed. Or start a new one if there isn't one yet

# Cohost meta for cohost posts about cohost, both how to do things in a technical sense (css, settings, userscripts, etc) and how we want to approach things in a cultural sense. Discourse about discourse, if you will.

# ask cohost questions and answers. Cohost just started to roll out an "asks" feature, so you may see those posts on this tag. But also, just people asking for recommendations or doing polls, etc.

# pets of cohost cute animals. Replace "pets" with "cats," "dogs," "birds," etc if you want specific cute pictures.

# (people) of cohost artists of cohost, writers of cohost, streamers of cohost... generally whatever you're interested in, people on cohost are doing it and tagging it with this format, the search feature is your friend.

# css crimes people having fun with inline css. Mostly silly and fun. Some impressive works of engineering in the name of shitposting.

# tag suggestions (thanks @graham !) a tag for tag suggestions

Ways to find more tags:

• Use the search feature with keywords on what you're interested in, tags are suggested in order of popularity.

• Also, when you find a post that you like, it will usually be tagged with multiple things, see which other ones look interesting and click on them.

• Follow people and see what tags they use. Follows are private and nobody will harass you for following some rando. Also you can unfollow and people won't be notified, so you can err on the side of following too many people and unfollow them later if you don't actually want them on your timeline.

When there's no algorithm, it takes time to build a feed that you enjoy, but the upside is that most things in your feed will be things you enjoy.

Have fun!

Bringing this back for the new wave of users

tags really are the key to enjoying yourself and finding other cool people. the moment i followed a friend's advice to use, search, and bookmark tags, it was like the whole experience just clicked for me and i've been more active here than any other site ever since

In case you were unaware, I made a grid generator that can be helpful for posting multiple pieces of art in the same post with more flexibility for size/display than the default image uploads give you! I just updated it with a few new features, including:

• Instruction manual
• Customize links for each image
• Put captions under or over images

As an example, please appreciate three of my favorite @littlegoodfrog comic panels:
