Because one of the very few people providing content likes those comics?
Post what you want to see.
Looking at the account, they post 1-2 a day, skipping some days. Is that really too much for you? I’m questioning your definition of “dominate” here. It hardly counts as posting “all day”.
It’s all in context. If there are only 1-2 posts per day then yes. There are more of course, but it does feel like a lot.
For me it was too much of it, and do not find it funny, so I blocked the user. But I like that people that enjoy it, still get to see it.
When you say there are more of course, do you mean there are more than 1-2 heathcliff posts a day? I can’t see them.
Blocking does seem the simple solution if you get tired of seeing them, instead of this passive aggressive post that will just make that comic poster feel like a nuisance.
Sorry, I meant that there are a lot more non heathcliff posts. Meaning it’s not the majority.
There's not... theres almost nothing there. The sub is empty as all heck.
First world problems
As of this reply, of the 20 links on the frontpage of !comics@lemmy.ml ... 9 are "Heathcliff Without Heathcliff". Sometimes the comic has as many as 15 on the front-page.
The account spams the instance - I just don't know if it's an in-joke, the poster just has nowhere else to post an over-used joke, or the mods don't care about spamming.
I disagree that 1-2 posts a day counts as spam. It is a disproportionate amount of the posts because not enough other users are active. If more people posted regularly, it wouldn’t seem like so much. The user likes the comics, and they get upvoted more than downvoted, so it’s clear more people like them than not. I recommend you block them if you are so tired of seeing them.
I'd say it's relative. If you're the predominant thing on the whole all feed on a proper instance, it's probably much. Doesn't matter if the actual number is 1, 2 or 400.
I've heard people leave Lemmy on their first day because "it's just meme pictures". That was also one single community having way more posts than the other communities. And Lemmy defaulting on showing all the local posts instead of subscribed communities.
And it can kill engagement if things get monothematic. And dominated by one user or a niche topic. But that's not always the case. Depends on the community. And I can't say if it's the case here.
TLDR, non enough non-heatcliff content.
Arguably this is non-heatcliff content.
Yes, it is.
I just wish the community had more posts about comic books, given that's the intended purpose for it and not comic strips, and there are communities for both comic strips and webcomics already. (There is https://lemmy.world/c/comicbooks also for comic books but it's also less populated).
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !comicbooks@lemmy.world
Done. Thank you, @CommunityLinkFixerBot. :-)

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
