Hey! Lex, just wanted to ask you a questions. I never used poipiku before and I just want to tell you that will you please tell me what it is? And how to use it?

Hi! Poipiku is a platform where you can upload works of all kinds, from wips to finished works, and they can be written or fanarts. Usually it is used by creating an account linked to your Twitter account so that Poipiku can "see" if you are a Twitter follower of any creator on Poipiku, since some creators use different privacy settings to let people see what we upload.

There are several ways in which artists upload their work: in public (anyone can see it), in a list (list that the creator created on TWITTER and you asked them to belong to it), or silent follower (you must follow the creator on POIPIKU).

Another thing is that sometimes we put passwords, and here it depends on each creator. Some of them just ask to confirm the age (yes/no), to do some mathematical operation or something, and others sometimes just give the password to their close friends or it's hidden in some private account (and you can't do anything 🥲).

But well. Out of all that, the way to use it is simple. Sometimes authors have their Twitter visible on their Poipiku profile (sometimes). You can follow them from there to see their work if they set privacy to "Twitter followers only". Unfortunately this doesn't work anymore if you, as a follower, are a private account, because Poipiku can't verify who you follow.

If you still have questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer if I can! I don't know too much about the platform either 😅
