This is a Rowdy question for you all-- We'd like to know how you discover webcomics, or what you've done in the past to discover them. :)   If you could answer as best you can, and then explain in comment that would be amazing!

Most of the time either Tapas is advertising it or it’s recommended from one I’m reading. Every now and then, though, I’ll put some random search term in Google, and one of the unhelpful results links to a webcomic. XD

Thank you for responding! :) This idea of how certain webcomics gain major popularity while other never really make it off the ground is something I'll never understand (but im trying LOL).

Literally all of the options except for discord/chatrooms...actually that's a lie. Literally all of the options.

Is there one way over the others that seems to work better for you? :)

Once upon a time it was by browsing comic directories. Smackjeeves usually or just by word-of-mouth or seeing what comes up similar. It's much harder now, especially the juicy nsfw ones to discover them. One's where I've been interested in the artist enough to follow them on social media (like you for example, or Lucid, or Crimson) is easiest to do. Not a lot of them tho. Discord in some way or other I guess comes into it on some of the larger communities like CC's.

Now i pretty much only have time for the patreons i support but i used to just browse SJ in the BL category and look for art that catches my eye. So eye catching cover art is super important.

Thank you for your comment! Its good to know not only how people find their favorites, but hoe engaged they are with them as well. :)
