What's a good time to post on Tapas?

I just uploaded my comic "She Weeps for the Devil" on here but it seems really slow right now. Is there a time when users are most active or a time you'd recommend? Thank you!

That is actually a really good question for I myself have no clue, I did started in November but I don't think people are mostly active, I wonder do tapas have a thing that is similar to the performance section that allows you to see the views ?
Like similar to that?

that's actually a really good point. We might be able to view traffic stats somewhere. Thanks for bringing that up!

I write M/M novels, and 4-5 am got me WAY more traffic than any time after 10 am or before two pm. I read here on the forums that most people like to read the new chapters first thing in the morning before school/work.

But really, you got to play around with it. Try a time for a while and then switch it up.

You literally made one update, today. I am not sure what you expected, but you won't immediately get a thousands of views from that. Not even sure if you can appear in Fresh and other sections for now, since you only started.
Most audience here is from the USA, try to hit the time when Europe is not fully asleep and US is already awaken. Check out the time when Originals on Webtoons or premiums here are usually updating.
Also try publishing on Webtoons, chances are you will get more views there.

I just update whenever I'm done- If people are subscribed they'll get a notification. It's up to them is they want to read it or not. From what I've seen, you have to have around a thousand subs and a couple thousand views per episode to get put in the Fresh, New, or in the Trending. Tapas promotes what's popular, like most platforms. It's up to you to promote your stuff when you're small. Update time doesn't matter if people can't see your stuff.

My comic is in English, so I try to aim at a time when Americans will all be awake, seeing as they're in multiple timezones.

One tip I heard was to stick with a consistent timezone for a while and then eventually switch it up so you can reach multiple audiences. I haven't tried this though.
