Patreon Quips

Last year, Patreon launched Quips. It's an in-house social-media network for Patreon users and members. As is so often the case, the roll-out to creators of NSFW content came later than the general release.

Last week, I was finally cleared to post a "Quip." As a result, you may be getting notifications through the Patreon app. Here's a few things to know.

Feeds

When you open the Patreon app (or click the home button on the bottom), you will have two feeds — Home and Membership.

Home feed is for Discovery: Quips appear directly in the Patreon mobile app and website's Home feed. This feed mixes updates from creators you already follow (which are prioritized at the top) with recommendations for new creators you might like.

Memberships feed is for Subscriptions: Patreon keeps a dedicated Memberships tab that shows posts and Quips exclusively from the creators you already support, with no algorithmic recommendations.

Dedicated Creator Tabs: Older Quips do not disappear. They live permanently under a dedicated Quips tab on each individual creator's page on both desktop and mobile.

I'm not going to lie... when I first started seeing these feeds in my own app, I was confused. Here's a look at how I will be using Quips, in case that helps.

Whenever I make a post, it automatically shows up in your Quips Membership feed. (And sometimes the Home feed as well.)

I'm posting additional Quips as an outreach to bring new members into our community.

In the case of those additional Quips, you may see content that I've already posted for Patreon backers — like this cartoon I originally posted here in 2025.

You will probably start to see Evil Inc comics posted there after they've been publicly released on the website.

Some people love Quips, and other people... not so much. Me, I typically use my Membership feed more than my Home feed. However, as NSFW-comics folks start posting, I may check the Home feed more often!

It's important that you're aware of how to adjust your notification settings to your preferences.

Turn Off Quips from Creators You Don't Follow

Open the Patreon App on your phone.

Tap the bell icon in the top-right corner of the Home screen to open notifications.

Tap Your account or the settings gear in the top right.

Go to Notification settings.

Uncheck the box for Posts and Quips from creators you might like.

Manage Quips for a Specific Creator

Open the Patreon App.

Tap the bell icon in the top-right corner to open your notifications.

Tap the gear icon (Settings) or Your account.

Scroll down to the list of creators you follow and tap the specific creator's name.

Turn off the push notification toggle specifically for Quips or new Quip updates while keeping major post alerts active.

That's it for this week! Next week is going to be a whirlwind, so be sure to keep your eyes open! See you then!

Brad, every other one of my creators that post quips, when I see the quip in my notifications (on PC desktop, I don't use the app), I click on it and go straight to the quip. Yours, I land on your home page. So I don't know what you're doing different, but it's definitely something.

Brad Guigar

JC, you're right, and it's one of the problems with Quips that I'm currently discussing with Patreon. Here's my understanding: It all comes down to these two bullet points from the newsletter above: • Whenever I make a post, it automatically shows up in your Quips Membership feed. (And sometimes the Home feed as well.) • I'm posting additional Quips as an outreach to bring new members into our community. Those Quips that your other Patreon artists are posting are most likely generated automatically when the post is published. Those link directly to the Patreon post they originated from. The *additional* quips that I post aren’t based on a specific post (unless I manually place a link). So those point directly to patreon.com/guigar It’s a layer of confusion that seems to be built into the system.
