Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
  ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
  ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
  Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.

Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

Jago
Stonetoss
GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Spoiler

Comic in 9 panels

Panel 1: “GRAMFEL” title text. Picture of ~~Garfield~~ Gramfel hovering over the world in his hover box.

Panel 2: Not Jon Arbuckle (I don’t know his name yet) dines on mysterious green “meat”.

Panel 3: Not Jon takes another bite. It’s delicious.

Panel 4: Not Jon’s eyes go wild as he rips the fattest belch you’ve ever seen illustrated. Food flys from his mouth.

Panel 5: Not Jon grimaces in pain, his back arching as something attempts to escape his abdomen.

Panel 6: Gramfel erupts from Not Jon’s chest cavity

Panel 7: Close up of Gramfel’s very serious face.

Panel 8: Close up of the plate of food, unfinished.

Panel 9: like a worm Gramfel escapes Not John’s stomach to devour the plate of food

I have no idea how most of this works never looked into it. I just hopped over from reddit to kill some of my down time. But a brief breakdown would be appreciated.

Just think about it like reddit and email had a baby: [!subreddit@email.com](/c/subreddit@email.com).

subreddit is now called a community

email.com is now called an instance

When you send a normal email message, you need to know the person's email address. On Lemmy, each comment, post, user, and community gets its own unique "email address". When you share something, you tell everybody this email address. The instance someone is using when they click the address is smart enough to find and open all the posts/comments/etc associated with that address.

If you share it as a normal link, it's like forcing a Gmail user to switch to Hotmail just to open the one email. They might not have a Hotmail account, so they can't respond or interact with it without going back to Gmail first.

I'm no expert, but I know a bit from experience. For starters, Lemmy isn't one single platform, it is made up of many different instances. Instances are the domains used to access content in the fediverse (lemmy.world, lemmy.ca, etc) using Lemmy. Each instance is separate, owned and run by different people or groups (the admins). As a user of an instance, we view and interact with content exclusively through the instance we're signed into, so a URL like the one you posted is useful information, but forces a user not on that instance to modify it to make it usable on their own. The developers of Lemmy helpfully created the shortcut I used (adding a ! in front of the community) that any user can click and be sent to the given community through their current instance.
