It's really self explanatory, users are still linked to Discord, but they also have FP profiles. Their profiles can be customized with bios, banners, and pfps, as well as optional links to twitter and discord. (They can hide their socials from their public profile). If you REALLY wanted to, following profiles could be added but I don't think that's really necessary. Now the cooler thing imo, user Art Gallery. Users can upload their renders/art works to the gallery. From there, they can pin art works, move art around so certain pieces appear in certain spots, and users can like other people's art works. This could theoretically be an easier way to implement art getting reacts and being featured on the home page since it'd be presumably all hosted on your FP servers!! IDK if it's possible, but maybe it could sync with discord? I'm assuming that's not possible. ANYWAYS!!! YAY!!
#FP Profiles and User Art Galleries

would be awesome, only annoying part is content moderation
I thought that could be an issue, but nothing bad gets posted in art showcase really anyways. Plus mods can always moderate it!! Could also probably implement the FP curse words list thing somehow 🤔
And in that case, will the FP, along with images, also support videos and GIF animations for the Art Gallery?
Also, does a FP program for exporting 3D assets need social features like a profile and gallery?
Sounds good in theory, but what will be the demand for these features? How many users will post their work in the FP Gallery and vote for other artists' work? Currently, in the Discord channel, art-showcasе, an average of 8 people vote for art. In the Gallery's FP, this statistic may be even lower and even zero activity.
I urge you to think carefully about who will actually need these features so as not to waste time
I see the idea of the Gallery as being that, thanks to the FP being linked to Discord, it copies posts published by the user from the art-showcasе channel to the Gallery section, in the form of a preview image and a link to the Discord post
This is only useful because Discord doesn't have the ability to search posts by nickname. Although I personally solve this by adding my tag to the title
the demand is not there which is why I wouldn't add it
but it would be cool in practice
but no I'm not doing this one
waste of time for an under-utilized feature
