What Pawchive offers
That is the site's whole purpose: it is a community-run public archiver built on the Kemono template, where contributors who hold import keys copy work from Patreon, Pixiv Fanbox, and Discord so paywalled material stays findable even if a creator's account disappears. The archive is arranged around creator pages, each collecting one artist's mirrored posts, with a global feed and tag lists as alternative entry points. Signing up for an account turns browsing into collecting: favorites save automatically, and members can obtain import keys and help expand the archive. Import coverage has been broadening as well — recent updates added Patreon community posts, announcements, Fanbox fancards, and Patreon DMs, alongside Discord servers linked to a creator's Patreon, with an FAQ that walks through the mechanics.
Depth still depends on who contributes, so popular artists carry long mirrored histories while others remain spotty. Treat Pawchive as a reference shelf instead of a curated gallery: its strongest use is checking whether a specific Fanbox or Patreon creator has shared anything new behind the paywall, or tracing anthro and anime commissions by tag — all without opening a wallet.
