A lot of mobile apps don't display community banners, and they're how a lot of people interact with lemmy.
Yeah, I can't get desktop nor mobile browser-lemmy to allow me to log in so I'm using Connect. I didn't even know communities have banners.
I don't even browse communities. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All the .ml domains are gone for now. Mali the African country who is .ml took over their domain suffix this past week. So everyone is trying to figure stuff out.
fmhy lost their domain, but not everyone has lost theirs yet.
The paid ones didn't, the free ones did.
Ah, that makes sense.
Summit supports them :D
Be the change you want to see, fellow lemming.
But to answer why: a lot of us are on mobile and therefore don’t care or notice. No idea whether that’s the reason, but it might have something to do with it.
I see banners on my mobile clients of choice. And have one on my community personally. Though I'm not on an ML domain 🤔
Which mobile clients
Liftoff and jerboa. Connect doesn't currently do them. Though I do like connects overall interface pretty good. For me lift off is really nice though because it runs on desktop and mobile. So I can have the same interface on my arch desktop as on my Android phone.
Cool, thanks. Will check em out.
Was looking at liftoff because of the x platform situation, but wefwef/voyager is just so close to Apollo that I’m comfy here lol.
Yes I have not tried them yet. But lift off has been pretty nice on the whole. The main thing I miss is push notifications and that is the one super huge thing that connect has at least on Android. When I get a reply or message connect will push it up there along with all my other notifications we're currently the others will show a little icon in the app. But not alert in the OS itself. I take that back I think on desktop lift off does ping the notification system under KDE.
Cool, I don’t want any notifs whatsoever from social media so that’s not a problem for me.
Appreciate the reviews!
Yeah! Would you be willing to drop by my communities to make banners for me? I don't really have any graphical editing skills, and I could really use the help. They are:
Here is an icon at least for nwsl. I think it is fine to just grab some public images and crop them.
Edit: nvm you have an icon. It just wasn't loading.
error loading comment
I tried uploading a banner for a community I mod and was met by a JSON parser error message, so that's not happening there until there have been a few more updates.
That JSON parse error may actually be due to your image being too large. Try resizing to under 1MB and see if that works. That's the fix for my instance, anyway.
!hummingbirds@lemmy.world and !semaglutide@lemmy.world
I tried to create a hummingbird banner with AI but didn't like the results. I feel like it's important for the icon and banner to be a matching theme as well.
I don't know what banner and icon is appropriate for semaglutide discussion. If anyone has any examples/ideas they are willing to share, I would happily appreciate it.
