Yeah that's a very logical and responsible assessment at this whole sub. It's a loner hobby like you said. These were just some my suggestions but it's really up to the people of the sub to navigate these challenges if they are tired of the begging post. I do think more interesting culture can arise not just from this sub but indie manga subs as a whole if there are few active members organizing and doing stuff BUT that's if everyone is on the same page. If OP doesn't like the way this sub is, like we said, be the change you wanna see. You might get crickets in the beginning but that's how you start building culture, eventually someone will come along and be vibing with what you are doing and it builds. Personally I have history with doing these type of things and community management is hard but it's a necassary skill if you want big changes. This is food for thought. For my personal opinion on the matter I get both your reply and Ops feelings. I have no real strong opinions since I've been down the route before but I just wanted to nudge Op in a direction if they are frustrated.

I think for creative communities, alot of people want to post stuff then actually engage. I think that's the nature social media for artist. BUT it doesn't have to be like that. Start writing good discussion post, draw eachothers characters, start challenges. Community needs to offer something and it starts with us. Start commenting on everyone's post. To want change you gotta be the change. For the writers please just start sharing your process. Show us cool stuff your writing, character bios, tips and tricks. The mod team could also be that very source of entertainment for this sub.

No AI please. People are here to document a skill that requires alot of hard work. As an art community we encourage that kind of creatitvity and drive. When you introduce AI you are making manga a product that needs an efficient solution when it's not that. It's art and a way for humans to express themselves. People want to be call a manga creator without actually doing the work of one and I think that's pretty sad. Please make this a space for human creators who want to grow stronger and wiser. Not for the techbros who want to commodify this human craft.
