Working again for me now. Sometimes sites flap a bit when they come back from a big outage.
Comment on Danbooru is back / About the downtime and security incident

I was already getting desperate and started looking for an alternative.
Update: 2 hours later, it’s down again (giving me a 504 error).

Gelbooru has a goodly percentage of danbooru posts and allows for more than 2 search terms without an account, but they’re a bit more stringent with their policies so not many Western artists get uploaded there (and the wiki is much less detailed).
e621 specializes in furry art and has an EXTREMELY detailed tag list and wiki (seriously, the tags on e621 are better than any other booru I’ve been on).
r34 may have a lot of low-quality posts but that doesn’t mean the quality ones aren’t there, however unlike most other boorus very few SFW works end up on there.
Derpibooru still exists if you’re into ponies and has a robust filter system BUT uses a different search system (you have to use commas to separate out tags)
Pixiv is where most of the posts on gelbooru, danbooru, etc. comes from and has a decent algorithm but you need an account to view the H. Tags are limited per pic so it’s not as easy to search for specific ones.
Hentai Foundry is like a Deviantart for hentai. It’s a little difficult to navigate but from my experience you have pretty good control over filters without an account and can see anything.
FurAffinity is THE big furry art site. I don’t think it allows you to view any hentai without an account.
The e-hentai galleries are intended mostly for manga/doujins so are not laid out as well for individual galleries but many artist- or fetish-specific posts exist and the tag/search system is robust.
Obviously you have nhentai for manga/doujins.
You also have safebooru for SFW-only content.
That’s just the ones I use on the regular. I could probably bring more up if pressed.

Thanks! Gelbooru/Safebooru suits the best. I also found
anime-picures.net with stricter moderation than on danbooru and focused more on wallpapers (almost like Wallhaven.cc).

Ooh, I’d not heard of that one, danke.
Also, to note: a scant few years back Gelbooru changed their rating system so now instead of a single “rating:safe” it’s split into “rating:general” (intended for fully SFW) and “rating:sensitive” (intended for the technically SFW works but the kind of stuff you’d not want your parents walking in seeing). Otherwise the tag system is identical to danbooru AFAIK
