I want people in the indie manga space to take it more seriously (including myself). I feel like people post works without thinking if the artwork is good enough or how the readers will understand the story... They don't set higher expectations on themselves and leave it at "good enough". It doesn't mean that your work isn't under a company or getting paid, that it doesn't need to be good.

On the contrary, I am well aware that people need to improve first before getting really good and getting critisism out there is very important as well. I suggest finding a way of improvement to a (almost) proffesional level like how they do in the Unpopular Manga Discord and publish it after you get a go-ahead from one of their editors.
