It's still big on anime-style artists, sadly. At least in my bubble.

Mastodon had its chance, MissKey had its chance, BlueSky[1] had its chance, but none caught on.

Trying to commission good anime-style art without having to create a Xitter account has been difficult[2] for a while. Last time I searched, artists either said "DM me on Twitter", or had an email address but weren't open to comms at that moment.

Nowadays there's a few invite-only platforms (owned by shady companies) that makes all this easier, but only works if the artist has been invited there already.

[1]: While writing this I couldn't even remember this name and had to pause ~20-30 seconds until it came to me.

[2]: My search was limited to "artists who also stream" to reduce the chance of scams, so that filtered out a lot from the beginning.
