O'Brien At Work feedback

Now that I've posted about a week of O'Brien At Work, I'm curious people's thoughts/ideas/etc. Do you like me posting every day? Do you not? Too much/too fast/too slow? I'm just curious how people think about this. Let me know!

Love it. :)

One a day is perfect. Easy to scroll past if it's not your thing, but a consistent (and grim, LOL) chuckle if it is.
- I’d say it’s less grim, and more bone-deep ennui. It’s great.
  
  LOL, I might gently suggest that ennui to the degree portrayed in these comics is well into "grim" territory.
- Yeah,well put. Grim isn't my thing, keep on rollin with my cup of tea. I just want TFW to grow to an obscene level and absorb every other Trek meme community on the intarwebs.

As long as people provide a link to the source I never have a problem with people posting comics 👍

I like it once a day, it's infrequent enough and not repetitive.

Love it. No notes. Excellent pace.

I told you in the secret place that shall not be named that I love it. Please continue.
- The back of a Volkswagen?
  
  You can't fit the entire moderation team in the back of a Volkswagen.
  Not even with a woodchipper and a bunch of trash bags. I know because I tried. And TPM still hasn't forgiven me.

Lots of people have been posting comics to Lemmy episode by episode. I'm totally onboard with there being a Star Trek one

I’ve enjoyed it and am in favor of it continuing.

It's fine as is IMO. Even if I hated them, one per day is nothing. Just scroll by. Or make a filter if it's that bothersome.

I love the comic, dark and deadpan is exactly my style, and am really enjoying getting to reread it with everyone here! I think one a day is a good pace.
Some people in replies have had pretty strong reactions about it though. I think maybe a dedicated community would be a better place to post them, but I don't have a strong personal preference. (I browse "All" with NSFW blocked most of the time anyway.)
- That's an interesting idea to create a dedicated community for it.

To be fair, I don't like the art style. It creeps me out. Sorry.
- how dare you

Agree with the others! Good stuff, keep it up!

I like it, but I understand the pushback on the Lt Yarr one. Just that one comic, the others are funny
- Yeah, that one was iffy. I agree with the removal.
  
  Dammit, I missed it.
  
  I chalk that one up to a fantasy sequence. O'Brien daydreaming.

I liked them on Reddit and I like them now. How many are there?
- 391 as of now.
  
  We might get tired of them by the end, then, but that's future us's problem!

I'm ambivalent about them. I've seen most of them before but I've also seen a few people complaining about them and I don't want anyone to block our community for just one comic. Perhaps a dedicated community for chief obrien would be best?
- If people block Ten Forward because of one regular daily post, I think they were going to block it eventually anyway. I would say we average a good 10-15 posts a day.
- People can easily make create a filter since OP uses the same title format for the posts ¯(ツ)/¯
  
  Do you know if that's something you can do on the Voyager app?
- Why should we care if someone blocks us over trivial stuff?

I enjoy them. They're like those The Far Side tear off calendars I enjoyed back in the day!

Many comics have their own dedicated communities.
Personally, I think I would prefer to see this one have its own community. Which I would also subscribe to.

Keep it up. It's good stuff, and I'm glad to see it here. If you get too many whiny people saying it's too much, maybe go to one every other day, but don't reduce it any more than that.
Lemmy isn't exactly flooded with content right now, so it is a welcome part of my feed whenever this comic shows up.

As a compromise, why not have a Monday (or any set day, but Monday feels appropriate) mega thread where you go and post like a weeks worth?
You can have a fairly active thread that all of you who enjoy it can stay and for those of us that don't want the spam can ignore it once a week and move on.
