“Quotes”
If it helps, here’s an online buddy of mine who started a new community 3 days ago:
https://piefed.social/c/newcommunities/p/1813767/comic-strip-edits
It already has 28 posts and 101 subscribers.
Remember to populate your new community with lots and lots of content. I.e., you can’t expect people to pitch in unless you make a notable effort to launch things off. Word to the wise…
Thanks for all your help! I got it added to lemmy-federate which has helped make it more visible, and I’ve queued up some posts. Not sure how frequent to make them yet, don’t want to feel spammy if it’s just me.
Also added some posts to your community, hopefully it fits? I’m not well versed on Euro comics.
You’re quite welcome, mate. I’m just helping myself by helping you, haha.
I see what you’re saying about spamming, but if there’s ever a time to spam? Yeah, that would be now.

I’ll join. The Fediverse needs a quote community outside of .ml, so hopefully you can keep it going.
Note that you should also follow the advice in Dave’s comment, here:

Thanks for the support. I’ll try to post something frequently enough, but it’s going to need others to contribute if we want it to be successful.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been saying for 2.5yrs now over at my own community. XD

That said, most of what I write are mini-articles that take time to put together. Sharing a pic (or quote) is generally much easier, as I do across other communities, and the PieFed scheduler is aces for helping with that.
Anyway, I’ve saved a lot of quotes in graphical format over the years. This weekend, I’ll begin scanning through my media collection and begin moving all those to a separate folder, then I’ll begin helping out by posting them here. I really do love a good quote, mate. 🙂
