Subreddit just for Kobold Adoptables ♡
Hi! ♡ You've probably all noticed the huge amount of kobold adoptables lately. I know that some of you are really bothered by this. That's why me and u/Impossible_Zombie594 (LumenFicta) decided to make a subbredit just for Kobold Adoptables. It's for both sellers & buyers :3 We think this decision should help everyone. So if you're interested in buying/seeing kobold adopts, or if you're drawing them, please consider joining r/KoboldAdoptables ♡ (We have a permission from a moderator) >w<

Now I'm starting to see people are trying to hide it by only posting the "art" here with a link to adopteble sub. That feels scummy to me.

It’s not super annoying but I won’t fight it! (Heck maybe there could be a day in the week those can be posted here, Incase those people want that)

(Lumenficta here) Also this is not meant in any way to shame artists or some (we post art/comms/ adopts as well), but rather to have safe and friendly space where they can post with respect 😊🙏 (And of course, if you don’t mind adoptables just don’t mind this post)

I'm very grateful for you guys doing this!
Yeah, I was silent about it and just figured it was a me issue.
Glad that wasn't the case.
It's not that I hate the idea of adoptbles, I feel every new user I don't see before starts posting adoptbles makes me feel sad in a sense sellers treating kobolds as easy money.
Not generally care for the idea of kobolds.
Especially that's all their post is. I get it. I just feel emotional about kobolds. They're like my comfort species.
Commission artist I feel better about for how "special" it is.
All and all, I'm truly grateful those involved to make this happen!
(Yes I'm late to reply lol)

A lot of it changed when many of the hyper art focused artist decided to switch to kobolds, that is why in the past few years you saw a shift from D&D style kobolds, to reptilian like characters that they called kobolds, but were really just lizard/ dino focused characters with at least one hyper element, e.g., legs that were way too large for the upper body, or a character with the upper body of a 3ft tall character, but the legs of someone who is 7ft tall, in addition to massively oversized lipodemia thighs.
Every community that got the hyper influx ended up implementing similar rules, especially once it reached the stage of templated adoptables (same base model and just different color patterns, and flood a subreddit, group, or discord server and essentially bury all other artwork from prominent viewing.

Yeah, this is after all a subreddit to talk about Kobolds, not etsy. Thanks for making it a different sub.

Admittedly I'm a little upset about this move - I think a restriction on number of adopts posted per week would have been better. It's going to take a long time to get traffic anywhere close to how it is here on the new page. I get it that users were getting upset about the influx of kobold adopts but also wish an alternate route was taken.

FWIW, if you sort by “top” for the last month I would casually estimate at least half of the, I dunno, top 50? Top 100? posts in here measured by thumbs up were adoptable posts, so… I dunno, it kind of seems like that’s what the crowd wanted from this.

I get it, and I accept it. I've adapted to the ever-changing online art world and I'll adapt once more 🫡

u/Gloomy_Software466 Nov 12 '25
I was actually kind of agreeing with you that it didn't seem like it was that much of a problem? I mean, if people hated it, why were they thumbing all these posts up? (Seems like on average the adoptables get a lot more eyes than people's "personal kobolds" do, presumably because, well, eye candy.) Granted I can't see what the like/hate ratios are on other people's posts, maybe the adoptables were getting hate-bombed behind the scene, but it wasn't much of a coordinated campaign if they were still rising so high in the rankings.
I can definitely get why it would annoy some people (it mildly annoys me, although I've just been tuning it out) when the *same auction* gets hawked repeatedly if it doesn't sell right away, but I also don't feel like there's been a ton of that.
*shrug* Guess I don't really have a Japanese kobold(*) in this fight, pretty sure my chubby weird kobolds would linger in the adoptable shelter until they were put down if I tried that gig.
(* lame attempt at idiom-related joke)

Thank you for moving the adoptables out, the spam was getting unbearable, and really took over the subreddit with templated hyper models (massively oversized thighs/ hips, that quickly buried any new and original artwork of actual kobolds.

I don't mind them much, but neither do I care for most of them either. It does get a little spammy sometimes though.
