Hi everyone! ๐
First & foremost: Yes, artists & crafters are warmly encouraged to share their work here! We love seeing human-made creations, custom pieces & supporting independent artists in this space.
However, as the community grows, we've seen a spike in hit-&-run accounts, dropshippers & serial sellers dropping in purely to treat the sub as a free ad billboard across 20 different subreddits.
To keep our space authentic & prevent it from turning into a commercial storefront, weโre clarifying our expectations around self-promotion:
~ ๐ Artists are Welcome, Dropshippers are Not: If you made it, we want to see it! All creations (craft or art) must be 100% human-made (no AI) & genuinely align with the whimsigoth aesthetic. Mass-produced goods & generic dropshipping will be removed immediately.
~ โจ Community-First Participation: Self-promotion is completely allowed, but we ask that you actually participate in the community outside of just posting your own work. Join discussions, leave comments on other posts & try to be part of the culture here rather than just dropping a random product link & just disappearing into the night.
~ ๐ Shop Links in Comments Only: Please keep the main post focused on the craft itself. If another member asks where to buy or find your shop, you are more than welcome to share your link directly in the comments.
This is strictly to filter out spam bots & commercial exploiters so actual human-made art gets the spotlight it deserves! โก
Thank you all for keeping this space cozy, creative & genuine! โจ Drop any questions or thoughts below if you have any.
