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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No thanks, I don't want to monetize, nor support its owners.
Static site generator then host it on a vape
So what would be your recommendation instead?
I've only recently even heard of substack as some sort of social media platform. I'm almost afraid to ask, but what's wrong with its owners?
@warbond @ZILtoid1991 nazis. Or at least very happy to platform nazis.
Traditional way is to just use a WordPress account, and then move onto a paid hosting service of you decide you like keeping up with your blog. No point in paying for something you don't use. Their ceo was a dick with open source stuff, but the website itself is still solid enough to be used to check if its a hobby you want to actually keep up with.
If you want to spend just as much time managing the blog as you do actually sharing things, a raspberry pi, Hugo, nginx, and a lot of time are also an option.
I personally use Porkbun for the .com and hostinger for the backend, and it's been great for the past couple years to host my own wordpress setup.
But actually, I think that makes me oldschool. The new kids are using neocities.
