    Am I not getting something here? Is this a meme of some kind? I don’t see the joke in removing heathcliff and these comics are cluttering this community. Is there a way of filtering these out somehow?

      Cluterring how…? There’s one per day.

      And they are awesome.

        Well yeah, on Lemmy that qualifies as clutter (in comparison to other posts). But with the help of others I found the filter function, I should be good now.

        And I don’t find them awesome. I find them boring and low-effort. But fortunately not everyone has the same taste!

          On average I spend less than 5 minutes editing them. So they are definitely low effort.

      Some clients allow you to filter posts with specific words in the title, so you can filter out posts with heathcliff

        Ah nice, I found the setting in Voyager! I wouldn’t want to block the user, they might have other cool things to contribute. I just don’t like this particular content and it’s very prominent in my feed.

      Just block the user. I like trying to guess where the cat was. It is funny that the jokes sometimes don’t need the main character to work

      It was originally Garfield without Garfield which took the inimitable inability to tell a joke that Jim Davis is capable of and transformed the comic into (most of the time) an exploration of existential nightmare. It just doesn’t hit the same with Heathcliff because most of them are actually endearing and bizarre—without the cat for the physical gag it’s just kind of confusing and not much else.

        Ah, now that you mention it, I remember those! They were indeed very bizarre and unsettling at times!
