Hello everyone!
I’m writing this to share some updates to hear some feedback from you.
Let’s start with the updates:
-
Introduced flairs, and I’m happy to see that some of you are using it to keep things more organized. As stated in the ‘Introducing Flairs’ post, this will remain optional for now as not all Lemmy clients support it.
-
Changed the community image for the first time. The old one was a AI made image that I used when I created the community, I thought it was time to update it to a more gorgeous one. The current image is by Clem Onojeghuo on Unsplash. I hope you like it!
-
I made the ‘Rule 9’ more clear, stating that “Gore, both human and non-human is not allowed.”.
-
‘Rule 1’ had a typo with the mandatory posts title, it was fixed thanks to a feedback from a member.
Feedback! I want to know some feedback from you. What are you thinking of flairs? Do you use them? Do they improved the search in the community? What can be better about them?
Changes to ‘Rule 7’ Right now, ‘Rule 7 - No advertisement or self-promotion.’, states: “Do not use this community to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.” I’m seeing some users posting links to the artists ‘Bandcamp’ or other socials/websites and I’m fine with that. Do you think this rule should be changed to allow these kind of links and support the artists? Of course, in this case, 'Rule 6 - No spam or reposts.", would be updated to prevent a lost of posts with self-promotion/advertisement.
Other Feedback Do you have any other idea/feedback to improve the community? Let me know!
Thank you again everyone, I hope you keep enjoying the Album Art community!
Technically, Lemmy itself does not support flairs. It is just a feature in a couple particular third-party clients. It is useful for users of those clients, but also implemented in a way that in clients that do not support it, titles will not look weird or anything.
