Ok this is a little test and thought about those 3, I'll just compare stuff I like and hate with pro and cons^^

DEVIANTART :

* PROS *

- Good and huge community,
- Solid server,
- Solid interface easily manageable,
- Basic features are really good,
- Limit of post is great,
- The DA crew is trying to make it better !
- Mobile interface does exist, while it's not perfect, it does exist.

* CONS *

- Bad report, I mean I see a lots of offensive porn around and they are not reported,
- More like *we don't give a crap*, that really annoy me, lots of friends come to DA and are easily confused, saying "is that your work ?" while it's a more like this. This should be removable, especially when you are a premium for me "more like this" is an ad, pointing others people art, if I want to promote, I will, but by myself !
- *the saving of the dead* especially true when you are on mobile interface, the *saving* can be creepy long, dunno why it doesn't occurs on other sites ?
- The limitation of the avatar.

FURAFFINITY :

* PROS *

- Easy to manage,
- Quite friendly community, people are welcomed there,
- The interface is really neat, nothing fancy but effective !
- I personally like the tag interface and the theme, it's cool indeed.

* CONS *

- Lots of crashes and glitches (they are often attacked),
- The time between 2 posts is ridiculous and doesn't help the double posting thing,
- Limit in size of the post (even if you can actually avoid that),
- The previews of the animations (yurk),
- I told you it's simple on pros, but well I feel like being in 90', it needs to be polished,
- There no mobile interface, that's not a big deal but the message link can be frustrating...

PIXIV :

* PROS *

- Pretty fancy interface, easily manageable without being premium,
- Multi language interface (that rocks a lot),
- Huge community, quite different from the 2 others,
- I love the limitation of tags in fact, it makes stuff more easy to handle when you post,
- There's a great Apps for mobile (official one), take care, while the Apps is growing it's also very slow to load.

* CONS *

- Ads that are hard to avoid sometimes (miss clicked),
- Comics can be effing long to download,
- No way to repost an art without being premium,
- Must be a Japanese stuff, but people doesn't give you that much feedbacks,
- Mobile interface is... ugly on tablet mode,
- Some stuffs are really confusing, and sometimes it's hard to know if you are doing it right or wrong (like faving and such).

That's it, don't take those stuff as a rent, I have been in the 3 communities for a long time now, that's my point of view and that's all !
