Out of curiosity, what was DA like? I'm very late to the party when it comes to art-sharing sites like this, so I have no frame of reference. ( . .)

Deviantart used to be a huge art community in the 2000s and early 2010s, it was easy to use and the community was healthy at the time, I was having fun talking to other people but until Wix brought the company in 2017. Eclipse was introduced and made a lot of changes but fucked up ones also.

I hang out in the Artist News regularly and I've never noticed you. 'Waiting for others to notice you' is convenient, but will not get you far. And even then: Unless you approach hundreds of people and engage with them meaningfully, you'll not meet a lot of people who would be a good fit.
The forums might be a better place for you to mingle, since it's a good place to meet new people in general.
Your art suggests that you are a sex-positive adult, so a thread by KittyhawkMontrose might be your speed.
Her 'Let's Compare Breasts!'* thread has been silent for about a month, but if you have some good 'breast thoughts' it might be a good starting point.
Otherwise, an introduction thread or a technical question you could help with might be a good starting point to get familiar with the forums.
Good luck.
