Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

I sometimes check out Lemmy while I'm mostly on reddit.
Been on Lemmy more recently as I've experienced a few "holy shit this site is bot infested" wake up calls on Reddit. One of those reposts with duplicate comment chains from a year prior. I even responded to one of them *shudders*
Lemmy is still pretty meager, but it might grow further. What seems clear to me is that Lemmy has a lot of users that actively don't want to attract the full Reddit crowd, in other words they don't want Lemmy to outgrow Reddit.
I think Lemmy is cursed by it's users to remain an insignificant niche alternative, even if it grows a little further.
I think it's inevitable. It may be just a slow steady trickle from here on but I wouldn't be surprised to see another change bring over another mass exodus (does old.reddit.com still work?).
I think this largely depends on what you mean by this. Reddit as an experience had gradually gone downhill for many years. Momentum and habit kept me there despite that. But when I could no longer use my app the habit was broken and the content wasn't really worth it on its own.
And either way, even users who actively feel more strongly about "redditors" I don't think they really have a say either way if they decide to come over.
It's tough because I don't actually want all the redditors here because of the low effort pun comment chains, constant bot comments, pervasive echo chambers and pop culture drivel. But on the other hand, I do miss the discussion in some of the more niche subreddits here.
The dichotomy of man.
We can just build a culture of downvoting puns (and my axe!)
