What is with these titleless posts recently? It makes it complicated to open them on desktop, because the title text is the handle that opens the post.

[-] riot@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Good question, wish I knew too. Although I didn't even notice at first, because Ive always clicked the comments link.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 12 points 1 year ago

I've seen it from Mastodon users but OP isn't one of those

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 year ago

OP posts some good stuff so i dont wanna complain too much, but if you are too unmotivated for making up titles, just put some random bs or "post title".

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 7 points 1 year ago

No please do, feedback is welcomed. I am sick of writing titles but I’ll come up with something else.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or artist name? Credit where credit is due. Makes it searchable too

This is one of the reasons for the rule title in 196. It does lower the bar to posting and increase engagement, but there's a reason why some people don't like the deluge of low effort reposts in that community.

Makes them complicated to open on mobile too. Took me a few tries to find the sweet spot. It's like OP wants to decrease engagement in their post...

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've only noticed it very recently, like the last couple days. But I was really busy over the weekend and wasn't on Lemmy much. I use boost and I feel I noticed it happening after Lemmy and boost updates

She grim on my reap til I er

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Did you even sow anything?

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Killed it on the execution though

[-] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 year ago

I'm really grateful the girl skeleton has a bow, how else would I know their gender :p

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

If they showed the boob bones they'd have to mark it nsfw

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

Can't the artist who made the comic put a bow on a character ?

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Bows are for hair and she ain't got none.

[-] fatalicus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'll let my dad know he can no longer use his bow tie, since he wears it on his neck and not hair.

And I'll let my niece know she has to remove the bows on the clothing her daughter has.

And I'll stop tying my shoelaces in a bow.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

If they don't have hair they're not people sorry.

I would never hurt an alpaca.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Heard it people, you’re forbidden to wear bows if you don’t have hair

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

If you ever give a bow to a cancer patient I will hunt you down.

Same stupid juice ya'll smoking.

[-] Probius@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why do people suddenly have a problem with this sort of thing? Art has always used exaggerations and tropes to convey things to the viewer more effectively than being realistic would. Lasers don't actually make solid beams of light in the air, evil people don't generally have red eyes or maniacal laughs, and female skeletons don't really have eyelashes and bows. Hell, most women don't even wear bows anymore.

[-] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

I don't problem, I just find it funny because it's so prevalent :3

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

She also has eyelashes

[-] veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Omg... Did you just assume their gender? This is patriarchy manifest, you have no idea how much trouble you're in my guy

[-] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Who says there can't be a male skeleton wearing a bow named Stacey?

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In a dark dark town, there was a dark dark street, in the dark dark street, there was a dark dark house, in the dark dark house, there were dark dark stairs, down the dark dark stairs, was a dark dark cellar and in the dark dark cellar... Three skeletons lived. But not the ones you're thinking about.

Maybe it's their neighbours.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 1 year ago

I love funny bones

[-] loomy@lemy.lol 5 points 1 year ago

😮😧😦

[-] waldyrious@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Nice twist! Reminds me quite a bit of the Perry Bible Fellowship style :)

[-] CustardFist@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Daaaaark. I like it. 😏

[-] yyyesss@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Reminiscent of Discworld's Death

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ 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.
  3. 🧬 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.
  4. 📽️ 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!
  5. 📋 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/
  6. 📬 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.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ 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]
  8. 🍿 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.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

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)
