Are webcomics in the 'manga' format welcome?

Yeah, i also don't see much of a difference. Both are very readable to me but as you said a lot of people say that the scroll format is better. So that was the main reason for the question.

And theres also the thing with Tapas and Line pushing the scrolly format. If you want it to reach a wider audience, you would naturally have to follow what the platform wants ;-; but i dont think i have to stress about that at all because the first one is never that good lol

And i dont necessarily agree with you on the fast read part. The scrolly format has a few good things to it. Like compostions you cant pull off with manga. I have read a quite a few great webcomics like I Love Yoo or H&H Roman Company. And imo Line and Tapas want the scrolly thing to be a thing. Manga is the japanese format. So i am guessing they want something different to that. I dont think the format should be devalued just because its different. Every format has its pros and cons and its up to the artist to compose it in a way that the story gets through to the reader.

Manga format is fine. Just remember to check that the text is big enough to read on phone, too. Since you're trying to fit so much in one page, artists can easily make speech bubbles too small to read, so watch out for that :3

Surprised to hear you ask this since there’s so many debate threads about this, including one opened by you.
The ‘classic’ pros are controlling pace much better, and being able to put the speech bubbles outside the page so people have a better view of the panel. It’s also much easier to do high-action scenes without falling into the trap of having 200+ words of text in a single page, making the page incredibly long & annoying to read.

Thank you for the info. To clarify, that thread I made wasn't really concerning the points you're making. It was about my own comic and if changing to scroll format would work better (in the end, I decided it didn't and switched back).
