I know that usually if you hang around long enough you "get it" eventually, but here's some quick explainers about different types of posts going around for art. A lot of new people reply to art trains or halt the train by not copying text, so here's the difference!
Art train vs art share for now Bluesky users with visual aids. The left has an "art train" post that says "You are “putting a train car” on the train. Do not reply. Instead, use the quote repost to keep the train moving! Copy the last person’s text." The center reads "You are “putting a train car” on the train. Do not reply. Instead, use the quote repost to keep the train moving! Copy the last person’s text. TAG SOMEONE if the train calls for it or else you will end the train! “Tag yourself if you want” won’t cut it." the last reads "You are sharing your art. Following the rules of the art share (read them all!), reply with your art and comment/repost other’s art." It gives notes in the posts as well such as noting similar text for the art train, and then the specific set of rules for an art train with tags and art share.

Hello! My name is Botanist and I'm an ADHD plant nerd that draws things and likes to play videogames with friends.

I am not taking commissions at this time as between my university work and other IRL things I cannot guarantee my availability.

who knew turning off discord and rewiring the brain by touching grass could be so effective?
Anyway - Emmer's character sheet. Had fun with it, and I think I'll call it finished for now! #digitalart #oc #ocart #art #charactersheet
Character sheet for an androgynous human with shoulder length curly/fluffy blonde hair, tan skin, and blue eyes, wearing their 'standard' clothing. Front (3/4?) and back view are shown. To the right is the earth, earth's flag, and a map showing Florida, seemingly after water levels rise due to global warming a few hundred years in the future. There are descriptors, personality traits, likes/dislikes/etc for this character (Emmer).

watercolor paint and ink drawing- a thick tangle of branches in front of a night sky. A bright star can be seen behind them

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🌟

We all love a good reindeer at Christmas! These ones were painted in Font-de-Gaume cave in France 18,000 years ago!

Rudolph the Red-backed Cave deer? 🎶🦌

'Bsky doesn't have whimsy?'
I'm sorry you weren't here when we bullied Adobe off the platform, I don't know what else to tell you.

stealing a screenshot but this is kind of insane to me? i just can't agree with the bottom one when the top one is correct about "you get what you put in"

like yeah the site "lacks whimsy" because you haven't dragged your community over with you. when you leave, they do too. that's how this works.
