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.

My family and immediate friends are all on my Matrix server.

I have my own dedicated public server, so I can selfhost anything I want. And I do selfhost a lot.

I selfhost since so long that some of my domains could vote, but I still need some "mainstream" channels to be reached by several people.

If we can argue that close friends will put extra effort to contact you on whatever you use, it's also true that your landlord, the plumber, the chick you picked up last night, won't give a shit and simply consider you a lunatic 99% of times if you tell them to use anything non-mainstream.

Yeah, but Matrix has bridges for almost anything.

And people still use email.

Yeah, but Matrix has bridges for almost anything.

But then you are simply using Whatsapp with extra steps.

I don't, but if the need arises, you can.

At least you don't have to use their app on your device, and it just talkes on the server.
