Interaction to View Ratios

This just sorta feeds into my last post about DA being a “dead internet” pit. Maybe it’s just a normal thing for DA nowadays, but the engagement:views ratios are crazy.
Like, I posted some things a couple days ago that have well over 1k views but like 9 favs? Shit, the first chapter of the fanfic I wrote that brought me back to DA has 2.2k views and 2 favs.

Chapters of the shitty Pokémon fic I wrote in 2010 have more favs and comments (from real people even, not scam accounts saying “this was so deep, do you wanna make a comic about it with me? Message me on discord”) with most of them having <200 views total.
Are there just that many bot accounts? Is it just because I’ve actually tagged things properly until now (apparently I never tagged the old fics I wrote lol)?

Still, the engagement ratio feels crazy, since the same things posted to a website like FurAffinity has way higher ratios.
Just for a direct comparison: same piece of art, a character sheet for a protagonist of my new fic.
DA - posted May 27, has 1.1k views, 8 favs, 0 comments
FurAffinity - posted May 27, has 140 views, 21 favs, 2 comments.
The same pattern for all my recent submissions, both art and literature (except the literature got a ton of the aforementioned scam comments). Do people just not fav stuff on DA? No poster/viewer interactions at all? Or are those views mostly bots and theyre skewing the data terribly?
I have a significantly smaller following on DA than FA too, 109 vs 799.

MP inaccessible? (PlayStation)

I’ve done all the server filter options that have been suggested, but this has been a problem for a while.
I cannot play MP at all, even quick matches bring me into lobbies with like 3 other people max. Every lobby in the browser is empty. I know it’s not because nobody is playing, because my brother can do all of the above just fine. He sees lobbies in the server browser and can quick join matches that are full. I can play if I join his party.
I’d like to have that not be the only way I can play.

Cathedral To The Red Crown

A lot of my miis are Cult of the Lamb characters :P (The Lamb, Narinder, Aym, Baal, and Ynga)
Figured I’d build a proper cathedral, which they do all live in with their spouses (except Ynga, she’s new)

Issues with auto flagging?

Has anyone else noticed that the auto-flagging has gotten a little bit overzealous?
I’m trying to share art with people on my friends list. SFW art. Totally 100% legitimate stuff, and it just keeps on giving me the “failed to send message.”

Examples of the art it’s flagging is attached. Yes, it’s furry art, but it’s literally my fursona in armor.
I do not have this issue in any groups, but have had it multiple times with friends who I have sent actual nsfw stuff to in the past. Their settings allow for explicit content to be sent. AND NONE OF THIS IS EXPLICIT.
I don’t know what the deal is, but it’s pretty annoying.

Pinnacle of Dead Internet

I recently came back to DA yesterday after like 12 years fully away to post some fanfic stuff I wrote.
I wasn’t expecting to gain a lot of traction, but the comments that I immediately got, all just bots saying “wow, this was so nice and meaningful, do you wanna work with me on making a comic out of it?” Was just silly. All generic woman name accounts, generic anime woman pfp, all made within the past two days. I think the oldest was a week.

Maybe it’s only a problem with literature posts, but my god. I’d be willing to bet there’s more bots than real people there now.

I assume other people are experiencing this? It’s pretty disappointing to come back to.

Have some Mii’s

I did absolutely steal this lamb face design (it’s my favorite I’ve seen), but I designed her fleece!
The others are all custom!
Narinder is the peak of my design skill.

Also, Narinder is a moron at love :V he’s been rejected twice by Aym, but keeps crushing on him. I made a perfectly good bunny architect girl and he rejected her! He’s a mess.
