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.
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
The problem is that loud pipes are CHEAP.
Literally straight-piping your car is one of the cheapest mods.
You actually have to pay more money if you want more performance and for it to be (relatively) quiet. That's one of the reasons loud vehicles are so common because and best solution for more performance is also the cheapest.
(It is more complicated than that, but this isn't the car community to where the nuances matter)
Is there a car community on Lemmy yet?
So far I've only seen the very vocal anti car community
There's a mechanic advice page but not many have asked for advice. This is a shameless plug bc somehow I ended up being a part of that place and would love to see it active
No and with how most of the users lean, I have a hard time believing a car enthusiast community wouldn't be brigaded 24/7
Good point, we do have mechanic-advice now and just rolled into the shop though
I can't believe that's the predominant view on this platform but have heard a lot
Lemmy is basically white programmers posting Linux memes and how much they hate cars. There's no diversity here
You just described the best society ever, except for everyone being white
None that are really worth visiting. Cars is one. I think there's a classic car one as well but there are a handful of new posts there every week which makes it mostly useless. Such a shame since Reddit's car subs (and there were quite a few of them) were quite well trafficked.
There was even a sub for the Suzuki Samurai on reddit that got decent traffic. No way I could start one here.
The Subaru subs (more than one, in fact) got decent traffic. The car community on Lemmy gets less traffic than just one /WRX sub got on Reddit.
I miss arguing with my fellow car nerds!
In Australia its called Suzuki Jimny and its a dope car. Ive never owned one but I wish I did.
Yup. When my exhaust fell off, I replaced it with straight pipe because it was the cheapest option. I also don't rev my engine through neighborhoods, so no body cares. I can't tell much of a noise difference in or out. I think the turbocharger did most of the damping.
In a lot of places a turbo is considered a muffler or sound damping device which allows for exhausts to be straight piped after the turbo legally.
For a short time I worked in a factory that made school busses. They used big diesel engines and not a single one of them had a muffler. The SCR and the turbo made them plenty quiet.
Did this with my WRX. Kept the cats but everything behind them was pretty much just a tube with nice looking tips at the end
All my cars are straight-piped. They still aren't that particularly loud.
