Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ 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.
-
𧬠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.
-
π½οΈ 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!
-
π 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.,
β
Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) 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 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ 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.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
-
πΏ 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
And then there is the polar opposite crowd which caused Plexamp to hava a shuffle where it shuffles whole albums instead of songs.
That's me, I love full albums.
Hey, it's me, I have two self released albums, and two EPs. Give me a shot: www.thassodar.com
Ok I will today
Off to a strong start here. Are the horns sampled, a VST, or are you playing? My biggest struggle with music is getting instruments I can't play (horns, as an example) to sound how I'm hearing them in my head
I'm not drawing a comparison to the music itself but it reminds me of what I like about 3 artists in particular: A Cloud For Climbing, Broke For Free, and Mesita. They, and you, layer a lot of sounds in a way that pleases me.
So most of the horns are samples, for example Beaches in My Sand is all samples. Doing Things With Stuff is actually a BBC Symphonic Orchestra VST I got for free a few years ago, so I was doing things with that stuff, if you get what I mean.
Recently I've been incorporating my own custom sub bass, like in Smoky Whispers and Whatchudoin' (SoundCloud).
A lot of my Jamns from January have custom sub bass, but those are 14 one minute tracks I did for a challenge.
EDIT: I forgot: Midnight Funk Train had a ton of horns, but it's all samples. The "flute box" in the middle of the song is several flute samples I threw on a drum rack and came up with a "solo" for them.
I liked Leveling Up and now I'm listening to your newest release
