“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!
* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"
Please DO: 1) follow good 'netiquette' and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they're fine, but don't link to pirated downloads.
MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

Now Tintin, are you the dog or the Sun? You can't be both, so please decide! (and please stop laughing, everyone!)
So, the other day I went a-lookin' for more Tintin memes, and found a goodly lot! :D Here's the first group, and I'll getcha' back with the other group when the stars align again upon image uploading:
Beam me UP, professor?
Poster-swap
Lazy mofos
Rascar-crystal
Save yourself!
Ah, the Tintin bed!
Now this is quality content.
Nice! ^^
Oh gosh... you know, I'm sitting on way too much BD content over here, and yeah, I could potentially milk it for the next 10,000yrs I guess (like an image per day?), but then I think-- what would be the bloody point, mate!?
Like-- I'd be doing that for "karma," yet one of the ideological breakthroughs upon the Lemmysphere and the Fediverse is to escape the various karma trap manipulations, right? Or something like that?
So yeah, let me try to keep organising & publishing groups of images in to like-minded goodness, and y'all give me some updoots to let me know you approve of the process, even if the particular content isn't PERSONALLY your favorite.
BUT-- you must also let me know when & if I DO screw up!
Deal...?
You wouldn't do it for karma, you do it for discovery. And that's a pretty good reason.
More activity means there is more often a recent post that people might actually run into in the all feed, and thereby find the community. Communities that don't have a recent post only get found when people explicitly search for them. More posts means more organic random discovery.
Which is good, because there is no algorithm which will surface stuff for people.
Because of this, I tend to lean towards small regular posts, rather than a few big posts. The latter, while nicer to consume (and thereby suitable for to be pinned and get seen by many that way) is actually detrimental to the growth of federated communities.
You might also cross-post such posts to other suitable communities, which will create a trail for interested people to follow the content back to the smaller community.

I mean... I hope not? oO
I mean, I hope so!

Interesting!
And yet-- okay, but I feel like I'm ripping everyone off, that way! (like if I have bunch of content, then share it!)
Now me, I have a relative million awesome images to share, and I badly want to try to impress people upon BD, but... huh... somehow I think you're right?
Depends on your goals! But I think best for the Fediverse/Lemmy is probably drip method.
But whatever floats your boat, thanks either way! Consider me duly impressed.
Thanks for the advice!
People won't mind. If a given post isn't awesome, it'll just quickly move down the feed because it won't get votes, out of sight.
Obviously, don't spam a post every hour, but posting regularly means that there's often that one new post people might find in all, helping them find their way around.
Basically, to maximize discovery while being as non-spammy as possible, you'd make one post whenever the previous one is too far down the feed to get scrolled down to. Any more, and you risk annoying uninterested users as they scroll past several posts they don't care about. Any less, and someone who might be interested won't run into the community in all.
With my communities, that's about every four to six hours, but I don't post to each one that often even. And bigger communities with their higher average vote-counts, or more popular individual posts, will have more staying power.
Gotcha, thanks.
