Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Neocities, the Fediverse, and Gemini Protocol sites are where I spend the vast majority of my online free-time, and it's so much more pleasant than the big corporate slop websites
Never heard of the first and third one. Care to elaborate?
Neocities.org is pretty straightforward it's a revival of Geocities. People make personal websites or sites for their weird niche interests. It has a very minor social media component where you can 'follow' people's sites, and you get updates when they get edited.
Gemini is a web protocol, like HTTP, but it's text focused, and geared towards non-corporate, hobbyist use. It has a mirror of Wikipedia, its own search engines, a BBS board, etc. To access it you'd need a special web browser. I happen to really like Lagrange
I don't get what inherent corporate use the https protocol itself has but thanks for the info dump. I'll take a look. Especially since I even nvere herad of Geocities before.
