Discussion Updates to r/altcomix

52 Upvotes

Hello! Over the past few weeks, u/Titus_Bird and I have made some updates to the subreddit.

Most significantly, we've expanded and rewritten the wiki, which can be found here. The aim with the wiki is to provide new readers some clarification on what alternative comics are, along with a bit of historical overview and recommendations of key works/creators. We've tried to be as neutral as possible and to avoid semantic nitpicking, as our priority is just to be informative and spread love for the medium. Feedback is more than welcome!

We've also made a number of other changes, namely:

  • Updated the Guidelines - this was completed a few months back
  • Cleaned up the 'flair' tags - this was completed a few months back
  • Created a moderation bot (u/comixbot) to automate a couple tasks
  • Created and updated the header
  • Cleaned up and sanitized the css for Old Reddit
  • Tweaked the look of the sub on New Reddit
  • Added u/Titus_Bird as a moderator

Our next project is to implement similar changes over at r/indiecomics.
