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.

I agree that skipping content is the way to go, Lemmy is federated and all that, but I don't think it works with a post like this.
This post somehow got 1.2k likes but there's no real discussion in the comments (mainly about the author like we are discussing right now) and it doesn't contribute anything of value to the site. It's a post that most people probably scroll past without giving it any thought, like, and immediately forget - the worst type of social media content for which I don't see a reason to exist here.
I like Lemmy because it has a kind of "people using a website" feel instead of a "generic content slop feed" vibe like reddit, tiktok, ect. I think Lemmy, as a community, should encourage high quality OC content on the platform instead of accepting generic and forgettable posts like this and just saying "ignore it".
