Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Man Lemmy is exhausting. Not gonna lie, idk what people are talking about when they say reddit is worse
No matter where you go, you're gonna run into toxic people. The question is the ratio to decent people, and if there are tools to deal with the toxic ones.
This shit basically hijacks every Lemmy thread though. If there's a thread with more than 15 or so comments, you can pretty much guarantee it's either edgy contrarian trolls doing their edgy contrarian thing, or most likely someone whining about how capitalism has ruined the color green or some shit.
It is an issue with forums in general.
With any kind of group of people, really. Occasionally, assholes show up.
I like Lemmy for what Reddit isn't anymore, which is that it allows for great 3rd party apps to be used for it and they don't force you to use some shitty official version of the website that might have or use.
But people are delusional if they think that Lemmy will be a bastion of freedom and hope and will be entirely different from Reddit. But that's not entirely a good or bad thing. It's a thing that has really good things with the bad things.
We should be realistic and not have unfair hope that this will be a perfect place. I like it here because they don't force me to browse their content in one specific way. I do wish there were overall more people here so that there's no content drought and empty posts.
This 100%. I fucking hate what they've done to reddit and won't go back, but Lemmy is all the stupid edgelord bullshit you find on Reddit, amplified ten times somehow.
Part of it is that the people here have an air of superiority for being in the secret techie club lmfao. It's as annoying and tribalistic as the stupid "what time does the narwhal bacon?" bullshit from early reddit. I also think the whole concept just attracts shut-in tech types who know a lot about privacy and Linux, but aren't very good at the whole social thing.
