“We’re somewhere between an optimistic melancholic nostalgia and a comforting reassurance of dread.”

AnthroSwim is a feeling. There’s no specific theme or subject, it’s really centered around vibes. Most furry/anthropomorphic communities are boundless with art that seems to highlight an imagined world where even the smallest moments of melancholy are gone, yet we don’t live that world.
This is a remake of the subreddit <Anthro Swim>, brought to lemmy. If you want a quick rundown of what to expect here, I’d recommend taking a brief scroll through there. We’re trying to capture the same spirit and feeling.
It’s likely this community will have a lot of content that’s charged with some message, namely, things that’d trip the Content Warning Policy of pawb.social. NSFW, Political, Blood/Gore, Religion, Drugs… Please mark your posts accordingly, but expect to see these things when visiting.
As for rules, they’re rather basic and standard, but worth writing down anyways.
Rules
- Post what fits the vibes.
- Credit all art.
Include the artist’s name in the title, and a direct link to their work in the body.
- No Pornography.
Nudity and similar content is allowed, so long as there isn’t intent to arouse.
- Give distressing content a CW (Content Warning).
Religion, Politics, NSFW, Drugs, Blood/Gore, and other questionable themes need a Content Warning in the title.
- No AI content.
Exceptions are made if art is predominantly human-made, and the intent is a statement about AI.
Title format doesn’t need to be exact, but contain the following content: [CW] Title <Artist>
Example: [Pol] Violence Turned Justice <FatherPeanut>
The pool’s open, if you’re willing to dive in. <AnthroSwim>
