You might've noticed that some titles are now prefixed with [R]. I added a note to the sidebar, but just to expand on that here, it's to denote content that's original to Loops vs content that's reposted from other platforms. Lemmy doesn't have flairs/tagging yet, so that's the best option for now. That will let people easily skip posts that are just reposts, and also act as a visual guide to how much OC Loops is getting. Suggestions on improving that are welcome as well.
While I've got your attention, if anyone has artistic skills (or not, I'm not picky) and wants to create a banner image, that would be much appreciated. The best aspect ratio is 5.9:1, but whatever works.
I'll also take a community icon if anyone feels so inclined. I made one to the best of my abilities, which are not much.
Also, if anyone wants to join the moderator team, post here or DM me. Thanks!
Sure thing! Love to contribute to lemmy where i can. And loops is a cool idea.
It'll likely take a couple days for me to get started since i got lots of holiday stuff going on.
I will dm you when I have them ready.
Is there specific resolution for icons on Lemmy? I haven't done an icon for this before so dont wanna make one too big to use or something lol
For the icon, you'll want to make sure it doesn't have anything cut off when viewed as a circular version. Not sure what the best term is to explain it, but for the Lemmy web UI, it does
border-radius: 50% !important;to exclude the corners of the image. Any size works though, I can downsize as necessary if it's too big. Same thing for the banner, 5.9:1 (ish) ratio is the most important bit, I can downsize as necessary.
