I wouldn't consider that worse. At least if they post on twitter I can get an RSS feed via xcancel or other alternative frontends. So far I haven't found a good/consistent workaround for artists who exclusively post on Instagram or Tiktok.

    sadly it doesn't support RSS feeds, so you have to remember to check the accounts manually.

    And it is ad based , so why watch ads to enjoy comics?

    I use ad blockers on all my devices, so I haven't seen a single ad when opening the website.

    are you familiar with RSS Bridge? it adds a bunch of workarounds to create RSS feeds for websites that don't support one. there's unfortunately no working Instagram bridge as far as I know, but it works for TikTok. there used to be a few proxy websites like OffTiktok that opened TikTok posts (and you could set them up to redirect automatically via LibRedirect), but it looks like there are no more, so for the few people that I want to follow there and who don't post their videos anywhere else, I just use yt-dlp to download the videos and watch them locally. a bit of a pain, I know.
