Posting culture

The posting culture values original content, including artwork, creator interviews, and discussions about indie comics. Posts that are promotional in nature may face scrutiny unless they contribute to the community discourse. High-quality, engaging content tends to thrive, while low-effort or overly commercial posts are likely to be downvoted. The community encourages regular interaction, with a mix of casual and in-depth discussions.

Brand engagement notes

Brands should approach the community with authenticity and a genuine interest in indie comics. Direct promotions or overt marketing tactics are generally unwelcome; instead, brands can engage by sharing valuable content, such as insights into the indie comic process or supporting creators through collaborations. Participating in discussions and showcasing a commitment to the indie comic ethos can foster goodwill and positive engagement with members.
