"For the fur in u"

Welcome to Furry_irl, a community for furry memes, shitposts, and other relatable images or comics.

Community rules:

  1. Code of Conduct — Follow our instance rules.
  2. Post formatting — All titles should be a single word, followed by _irl. An emoji may substitute the underscore.
  3. Credit artists — If it's not your art, include who made it in the title or the post body. Links are appreciated, except to X/Twitter.
  4. Stay on topic — Images should contain or be related to furries. Images should be relatable or a meme. This isn't the place for general art posts.
  5. Avoid AI images — Our fandom has countless artists, please share their (or your own) labors of love instead.
  6. Don't be a jerk — Have tact, don't antagonize other posters.
