  • Why does cloudflare suck?
    The developers of pixiv.net blocked the country you're from. Source: over 1 year ago
  • If you'd like to see the fandom when it was most popular...
    Also most of the fanart is on pixiv.net , just type となりの怪物くん on the search bar, there's like 3000 results. Source: over 1 year ago
  • messed with page source material on chrome and now I can't make it back to normal
    This is embarrassing, but I have no idea what I even did, I am not tech savvy, and I need help fixing it. I was looking online about how to block the premium "popular" search on pixiv.net. Someone said to just click "inspect" and delete the piece of code that contained the pop up. Sure, why not, I thought, and I clicked inspect, and hit "delete" on the portion I thought might be it. Now my page is permanently... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is it me or is Pixiv down again?
    I keep on getting an error code 520 and apparently, the host (which is pixiv.net) is not working? Anyone experiencing this too? Source: over 1 year ago
  • Thinking of branching to VA
    Thanks and you're welcome ^^ As far as I know most VA's get the artwork either from pixiv.net, picrew.me (it's basically a website where you can find some presets for characters and play with the options a bit in order to get the look you want), maybe some other platforms or they even commission the artwork. Though most of the bigger VA's have their artwork commissioned because it's the safest and easiest way for... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Best websites for Anime Images?
    Pixiv is where most Japanese artists put their art. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Is there any bookworm fan fiction?
    Try archiveofourown.org I don't know if there's something that specifically is that, I tend to prefer fics with canon chars, but that's where it is most likely to be, if you want it in english. If you can read japanese, pixiv.net would be better. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Where do you start reading the WN after volume 15 of the LN?
    If you want to read the WN the author publishes it on pixiv.net. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • I think this was a good discussion, no?
    You mean on Pixiv? Just go on pixiv.net, type "pedo" in the search, and you'll get a drop down of all the related tags. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Mozilla is going to track Facebook tracking you
    I only use Chrome because a single pixiv.net plugin isn't available for FF and my FF can't take voice input for google translate when I want to practice pronunciation. Literally its only use for me. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Images aren't working with Waterfox.
    Images aren't loading on drop.com and pixiv.net but so far other sites are fine. I tried the same sites in a private window and they still didn't work. I don't have any extension enable in private mode and I tried both of the sites with Edge and Waterfox classic and they worked just fine. I have also tried disabling the shield in the top left on both site but it didn't have any effect. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Slow loading image
    I've install a pi hole on my raspberry pi zero 2w , I have notice that on website with a lot of picture (like pixiv.net) picture take a long time to load compare to before I install pi hole . I search online and I often refer to ipv6 need to be active , but even activate it still take long time to load . Do you know a fix or something to make the loading time better .

  • Failed to download picture from pixiv.net
    I can save pictures from google or some other sites but not pixiv.net. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Walking Together After School [Artist's Original]
    For easy search without knowing Japanese, most of these are from pixiv.net. Source: over 2 years ago
  • I don't play this game, but I got a character from it in this random card thing. Can someone tell me more about the character and who they are? And can someone find the artist as well?
    That's not one game. Characters in it are from lots of animations and games, such as genshin, azur lane, eva, gundam, konosuba and so on. There cards are produced by a little-known company called small frog, so I don't think it could get permission from all those game and animation companies. And those pictures seem to be copied from several websites such as pixiv.net. Source: over 2 years ago
  • ❤️
    You should check out pixiv.net; there are so many city fanarts there. Most of the Pinterest ones are from there. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Updated Rule 4 don't work and is more strict than actual law
    Like u/KerosenyKlopoty31 mentioned under main thread, this rule basically killed sharing fanart from large galleries, for example from pixiv.net. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Images/Elements stop loading after content injection
    I'm writing a chrome extension that injects a button on top of every image in an image list. On most sites, it works fine, but on this one site (pixiv.net), as soon as I inject the button, images that aren't already loaded never load. I tried playing around with where I'm injecting the button, and I found that in some places, it stops other elements from loading, so it's not just images. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Kurumi is so Kawaii!
    PS:I'm not link to pixiv.net cause you probably hate to see 25% at center. Source: over 2 years ago
  • What are the "thumbs/fingers in corners of mouth" artworks called and what's the reasoning behind them?
    I don't know why, but there's quite a few of these sort of artworks on pixiv.net . Here's a simple drawing of what I am talking about: https://imgur.com/a/Hnkzs23. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Instagram no longer an image sharing app
    If what instagram is doing is making you feel nervous and you don't want to or can't add video to your content plan, it might be time to look at deviantart, artfol, artstation, pixiv, or newgrounds. Test the waters, see what you can make happen, and make your final choice after instagram makes their changes and you see how it changes your experience. Source: almost 3 years ago
