Do you remember which was your gateway post, if you can remember it?
For me, I forget the artist name, but it was Bowser fucking a Yoshi. It has to be over 20 years old by now
Edit: I found it. It's by The Cyber Gecko
Topic: What scalie/furry artwork got you into this site?
Posted under Off Topic
For me, it was a question of "I wonder how gryphons fuck?" Don't ask me why THAT of all thigs was on my mind... but it was. That led me too herpy.nu Then some time later I stumbled apon e621. Sadly I don't remember why or how... :( But I do know that one of the first images I remember seeing from both sights was.

I don't think it was ome artwork or a specific thing. The first thing to hook me to this kind of stuff was through flash games and that led to HTH studios. Then, from there, I found Herpy.net (when it was still online) and probably through the search of dragons and wyverns comic strips that were posted there I found my way to this site. It may be possible to be the comic "Here there be dragons" by Gustav that led me here or some artwork by Skyshadow or Zabraxas.
Nothing in particular. Think I just got exposed to so much furry nsfw and kept hearing about the site that I figured might as well see what the fuss is about e621.
What really got me into the site was both being an excellent place for nsfw stuff (far better than FA or more general porn sites) and the peerless state of tagging/other site features
Though one work that stood out to me early on is this

It wasn't any specific thing but i remember watching some league youtuber decade ago mentioning e621, was like huh, I wonder what website that is.
i found the site by accident lmao.
found it as a source on some randomiest pic on joyreactor (somewhat similar to 9gag)
started off on herpy.net, don't remember when or why i switched to e621. probably just cause the other site died and e6 started thriving, so it naturally happened.
this was more or less what started me on yiff in general
All my friends were using it so I decided to try it out! I don’t remember my gateway posts that well but I do remember shedding inhibitions to be a large part of my beginnings here on e621
