If the conjunction is a coordinator, then comma is needed provided what it links are independent clauses.

If words, phrases or subordinate clauses are linked, then comma is not needed.

conjunctive adverbs are also conjunctions: however, for instance.

They are not strong enough to link two independent clauses only separated by a comma --Semi colon wanted.
