if you have an idea for a tag please feel free to share it here or to support[at]cohost.org

ideally, please suggest tags for listings you want to buy yourself, not just tags you think would be neat

thanks for making artist alley!

looks great, thank you!

is it currently possible to schedule a listing for a specific week, or should I just hold off until that week?

So excited, already got my listing! When it says that artist alley is in a "pre-sale" period, what does that mean exactly?

This is great!

I scrolled alllllll the way to the end, thank you everyone, I ate well today

What's the logic on which entries display in which order? (For example, do more recently submitted ads get shown first?) If there is logic, is there a way we can toggle to view oldest or newest first?

I'd love a #streaming tag or something similar where I can promote my twitch streams and share my stream schedule.

is there any plan to make these shareable? not sure if that breaks the premise, I just think things are cool and my peanut brain says "rebug"

I have found many fun things at the alley. It's like some weird Wonderland. I love it. (I might start calling it Artist Wonderland. There is something magical about the page.)

Looks great! I think this was a really good implementation of the whole "user ads" idea!

I dunno if you're taking suggestions, but i'd love to be able to control (on desktop) how many blocks appear horizontally. Right now on my desktop I see like 5-6 blocks horizontally at a time. It's a little visually overwhelming, it'd be cool to have a toggle to make it 3-4 blocks horizontally. Scrolling on the mobile version feels a little less overwhelming.

I assume it's supposed to be paginated somehow? can't find any sort of "next page" or "load more" and it's not auto-loading when I hit page end. when I add a filter there's stuff that's not in the unfiltered view, so I know I'm not just done with the list. Firefox on Android.

Hell yes, this is so much fun to look through!

Will there be a public archive of Artist Alley listings? If not officially, is someone else allowed to keep a running archive of them?

Vivaldi on Android, ads are repeating when the infinite scroll kicks in, had the same two ads 7 times before it loaded others, saw some other repeats after that as well.

Soooo it already seems to be doing pretty welllllllll

i'd personally like if there were a way to view old listings after they expire, as i don't spend a ton of time online lately but do like looking through the ads and i would feel a bit sad to not be able to find something i'd seen before; i have no idea how this thing slots into the vision you guys have for artist alley though

overall though i like it and i'm happy to see it this week, i think it's a good idea and i got to discover some people through it who i'm happy to follow (I didn't realize they were on cohost)

beyond excited for this, huge congratulations to everyone getting this pushed live. Thank you for cohost!

How long is the review period supposed to last before a listing goes public? Does it take longer to approve is the buyer isn't from the US?

oh man I already love this. just scrolling through I see indie games, TTRPGs, commissions, a pokemon matchup calculator, web design services, howard the alien, and karl marx. this rules so much

artist alley is giving me a lil sales boost already!! :'D i hope this is a trampoline we BOTH successfully bounce higher on!!!

i appreciate the inclusion of a "doing a bit" tag

this is so cool, its like im at a con but without the people :)))
love that some have bought space just for the fun of it

aa i found the mos tamazing thing on it!! tysm cohost

this is super cool and a unique feature of this platform, thank you for implementing it!

Just a suggestion, it would be awesome to be able to bookmark artist Alley posts so we can easily flip through this that hooked our curiosity but we don't have the time/money to spend on just yet. Browser bookmarks obviously work but it would be far more convenient.

any idea when I can expect my listing to go live? I purchased it two days ago and it's still pending :/

Eventually will things appear along the side of the feeds?
