      I def wish more artists(like Pizzacake) would join. I check r/comics often on Libreddit and its nice to see them interact and a good way to find new underrated creators.

      Seriously. Her and Hollering Elk were some mainstays on the old place.

      Why? That’s her comic right there? What does that achieve other than bringing her ‘other’ business here?

        In general having more original creators here posting their own work consistently is a good thing if we want to grow the platform.

        Showing that it can be good to post here for creators will make more creators want to post here leading to an overall improvement in this community.

            Comic artists have a big interest in creating consistent quality content… Because it’s like their whole job…

            While not everyone has the same tastes, so some comics (like this one for example) aren’t something everyone wants to see, it’s better for the creator to be here posting it so the individual user can just block her and never see them again. With the creator posting them they all come from the same source vs with random people posting where you have to stamp out each individual one.

            One of the big problems people have with Lemmy atm is the lack of content. Convincing people that posting here is a good thing will pretty much entirely remove that. Plus comic makers very much have an interest in keeping the content QUALITY high as well so it won’t just be more posts… It’ll be more high quality posts.

              This is a link aggregation website. It doesn’t matter who posts the content. You’re thinking of OnlyFans.

              Which in this case is appropriate.

                That’s not responding to literally anything I said.

                You’re right. It doesn’t matter who.

                However, people who make and want to share content… Tend to make and share content…

                Something that’s good for a link aggregation site…

                  It really isn’t. Self promotion is pretty terrible for a link aggregation site. You used to be limited in the ratio of what you could post between yours and other content. Then The Other Site decided it was social media. Now you want here to be social media too. No thanks 👍

        She didn’t post it. This is the first Pizzacake comic I’ve seen on here since I joined. Were she here I’d follow her and get everything.

        If she joined Lemmy then I could block her account and I wouldn’t have to see her comics (as I did on Reddit). As it stands I don’t really want to block OPs account since they post and comment lots of different stuff. It’s nice to be able to block a specific creator from their own account rather than play whack-a-mole with freebooters.

        And before people start saying I’m misogynist or something, I’m not. There are plenty of women webcomic artists I like. Extraordinary Comics and War and Peas just to name a couple. I just find pizzacake to be incredibly boring, low hanging fruit and barely even funny at all. Not trying to hurt feelings, I just don’t like her stuff and prefer to block it from my feed.

          I’m right there with you. Actually winced when I saw the name pizzacake just now. Pure garbage.

            Same. There isn’t a single pizzacake comic in my folders and never will be. They’re just not good. Every single one is painfully low hanging fruit. Like this “joke” would be used in a half second throwaway gag on a sitcom. It’s not strong enough for a comic. But that’s like… Every comic Pizzacake makes. That or half of her comics are just her complaining about something.

            Fucking pass.

          I doesn’t work that way bro. You clearly know something about yourself but you’re trying to get one step ahead of it.

          People that aren’t misogynistic don’t have to defend against it beforehand.
