Hey Civitai community!
The summer is over… but the hot images from hidden gem accounts definitely aren’t! 🔥
This time I wanted to highlight a tool developed by theevildarkmage126:
It has helped me a lot in finding new Hidden Gems. You can easily filter accounts with under 1,000 followers and quickly see which ones you already follow. It made the whole process of discovering new creators for these updates much, much easier.
It also solved a problem I had before: previously I mostly used the “New” sorting on Civitai, which meant I often missed creators who posted while I was sleeping. This tool fixed that.
Just to be fair and set the right expectations, there are still some drawbacks:
It’s quite slow to start. The tool downloads metadata for all images on Civitai from that day, so it can take 15–45 minutes to get going.
It may not always be fully stable.
It’s still hard to find random true zero-reaction hidden gem images.
I’m not affiliated with the product in any way. Please be careful when installing any third-party tool. It’s open source, so you can review the code yourself. I checked the current release with Claude, and it looks safe, but I still recommend running your own checks after every new release.
