Hey!


 
That is indeed a great line of thought. Pony in itself is suitable and filters exists while plenty of people even enjoys both! Still, once our furrie side grows wider the images should be very balanced and mlp not as apparent as it is right now.


 
This discussion has certainly stormed some great ideas among staff on how to improve our newcomers reception. It is understandable that those unfamiliar with "[Philomena":](https://github.com/furbooru/philomena) may not realize how much they can customize their experience.

We have an ad at Derpibooru as a gratitude token for the years of work that some of us on staff put into it. We also have a running ad on e621 and have plenty of artists spreading the word out about us.


 
Growing consistently may happen slow but it is certainly steadily, if anything everyone who joined on first month may here in couple of years be looking back at this in a much much busier site and be alongside the big players like FA. We can only hope!


 
This discussion really helped since there was a missing part in the equation indeed, people coming from Derpibooru are used to the site and just "go on with their lives" while others may be discouraged by not figuring out stuff soon enough. We will work on improving that aspect!
