Help: Posts

← Wiki Home – Posts
A post represents a single file that's been uploaded. Posts can be tagged, flagged, reported, searched for, deleted, approved, sourced, added to pools, given ratings, have notes added to them, commented, voted on, and favorited.

Searching Posts

Searching for posts is straightforward. Simply enter the tags you want to search for, separated by spaces. For example, searching for apple orange will return every post that has both the apple tag AND the orange tag.

That's not all. We offer several meta-tags that let you further refine your search, allowing you to search for things like width, height, score, uploader, date, and more. Consult the cheat sheet for a complete list of what you can do.

Tags

? + – fox 666
? + – zootopia 666
? + – nick_wilde 666
? + – male 666
? + – simple background 666
? + – 2023 666

In both the listing page and the show page you'll notice a list of tag links with characters next to them. Here's an explanation of what the links are:

  • ? The wiki page for that tag. If the tag is an artist tag it will take you to the artist page instead.
  • + Adds the tag to your current search.
  • – Negates the tag from your current search.
  • × Adds the tag to your blacklist. Only shown when hovering over tag.
  • ♡ Follows the tag. Only shown when hovering over tag.

Also shown on the post index (whether searching with a tag or not) is a list of trending tags. These are the thirty tags that have been applied to the most posts in the last 24 hours, sorted by total post count.
