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:
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)

MODERATORS
One that gets me is when they go 'ok now let's put this into the fridge for 24 hours and then it'll be ready for tomorrow!'
Ok well I'm hungry now so we're skipping that step.
Does nobody read the whole recipe before starting to cook something new? Does nobody plan firther than two hours ahead?
Sometimes you do plan ahead but then the delicious smell hits you and then the stomach suggests a tasty new plan.
I can barely plan further than two minutes ahead. By the time I’m done work, daughter is picked up, and get home, I’m basically on a 2.5 hour time crunch to make dinner for us, clean up, get her cleaned up, play a little bit with her, then have her changed, maybe a bath depending on the night, and off to bed. Usually anything I can’t have from unprepped ingredients to fully cooked ready to eat meal in under an hour just gets skipped. My wife doesn’t get home from work until after our daughter is asleep.
I do miss longer prep time meals though. I genuinely enjoy cooking but I only have time on my days off and I usually want to be doing something else during those days (either go out with my daughter and wife, deep clean the place, or another hobby).
I don't think that's good for your wife long-term.
I don't think anybody is unaware of that, but not everybody gets a pleasant choice.
We live in an age of convenience and instant gratification that has the majority of people accustomed to never needing to plan ahead.
We live in an age of late stage capitalism where people are working twice as much as before and don't have nearly as much time to plan ahead.
The fact we live in late stage capitalism and have our time eaten up by forced toil just makes it that much more important that we learn to plan ahead.
So because we're asked to do more it's more important to do more.
Important? Sure. Possible? No.
Planning ahead usually allows one to do more with less. That's the point of planning ahead.
Possible? It is entirely possible. Wild to claim that it isn't possible to think ahead.
Found the guy without kids.
Just make enough so you have some for tomorrow, when it tastes better.
My least favourite part about making focaccia.
This is why I never make the chocolate chip cookies I keep intending to make
