Ello 3.0 - A social network for artists

Yesterday I created an account to try it out. I like the whole concept! To me, it seems like Instagram for artists. I especially like the "Artist Invites" as it is something that will keep me from returning and checking out what's new. In my opinion, it is something great for the community of artists and art fans to get together, inspire each other and find what they like. I added two of my artworks https://ello.co/diujdi. Let's see how it goes ;) Nice work people! P.S. I haven't seen if you have a sign up for the newsletter, but I would love to get one and I think it would be nice to get some weekly inspiration directly in the inbox.

I was getting lots of porn spam and canceled my account

Pros:

at least they keep trying ;-)

Cons:

slow and confusing rebrand

Is this an alternative to Uplabs and dribbble?

Ah, good old Ello - came out 3 years ago or so, back when people thought that Facebook could be killed. It's taking a while but I'm hoping that they do find their fit. I stopped using Ello because I kept getting bombarded with scams, spam and phishing attacks. Unfortunately, it really hurt their credibility for me.

❤️❤️❤️ The good : An interesting and great pivot in the website service that you got… This looks like a great and brillant hybrid between social medias, Behance and other great web platforms. I will visite Ello even more now that I see a better interest in it's content. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ The bad : My only concern at the moment is that the indexation and categories are really not that clear enough! What I mean is that on the home page, there is a bunch of tiles that links to multiple kind of contents (portfolio, articles, articles to sell), but there is no way to differentiate them. This "details" is a little turn off for me (and probably other people who don't want to have to click to discover what kind of contend hide behind those links).

i am very interested in it.
