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.

Browsers would only escape parentheses in the address bar using the percent method until some time in the 2010s so many web users don't remember it. I agree that there should be an easier way for the writer but at least with a working hyperlink (which can currently only be made with
%28and%29), the experience is smooth for the reader.Maybe a bot can be made to detect these errors on Lemmy? Another pitfall with Wikipedia links is the
m.in mobile URLs that does not redirect to the desktop version (as opposed to the other way around) - a Reddit bot existed for this - so perhaps one can be made with both functions.I'm happy to report that Wikipedia seems to have dropped the ‘m.’ prefix, and finally detects the device capabilities instead.
Huh, must be a recent development. They also seem to use cookies because clicking "Mobile" or "Desktop" (very last link on each page) has a lasting effect but they've been for a long time.
