preferably ones were your work doesn't get buried after 2 minutes.
Yeah. That's an annoyance. Unfortunately, in a community of this size -- it's unavoidable.
The administration helped the problem somewhat by reducing the number of gallery posts per day per user. But the galleries still tend to move past with the speed of a graffiti-painted bullet train. This makes it hard to get many views.
There's a type of catch-22 in operation here.
Lots of contributors on a popular website = a flood of gallery images vying for attention. This means that it's difficult for one's voice to be heard above the noise of the crowd.
On the other hand, very few contributors = more time on the front page. But this state of affairs usually indicates that there is a sparse pool of potential viewers.
So, you pay your money and you take your choice.
However, the gallery is free. So you don't have to pay anything to use it. It's a great deal.
