I guess a consensus hasn't been firmly established on memes but I personally wouldn't mind restricting them on this sub, creating a separate Soccer Shitpost sub and linking that in the sidebar.

MODERATORS
That's a fair suggestion. Probably should open it up to the wider community...or maybe just memes/shitposts only on one day a week etc
I prefer just having each thing in its own place and wholly separate, to be honest. I did enjoy the no holes barred shitpost-a-thon once a year or whatever on r/Soccer over Christmas when the mods had a day off. That felt like a proper event, but I'd not want it more than once or maybe twice a year on the main sub.
r/MLS used to do meme Mondays, those were fun
Nice to see we finally have active moderation! Hoping to see match threads / daily discussions going :) I know Man U have a bot, and we're working on one ourselves at c/gunners, so that's worth referencing
Thanks! do you know what bot they are using?
I tried to make one but it just turned out shit.
The video bot for goal highlights I mentioned previously seems to be working btw. It copies the post title and url to the video from reddit and posts it here automatically. If it's ok with you I can start it running 24/7 in the next few day to see how it goes? I can try to adjust it if necessary based on how that goes.
Sure, lets try it for a few days and see how it goes. Can adjust as we go forward
Nice, thanks for your effort! Looking forward to the highlights.
I can probably cobble something together in Photoshop. What sort of thing were you thinking of?
Edit: I have an idea for a community logo as well, if you guys are interested: a football with the Lemmy icons mouse face on it.
Sounds good to me
Hey guys! Super stoked to being making the jump across from the old r/soccer.
Was wondering if anyone knows how we can search the community for previous posts in the wefwef app?
Keen to help start some conversations but don’t wanna bog y’all down with reposts.
It doesn't seem like WefWef has that functionality but you can limit your search to within communities if searching from the regular Lemmy site in a browser.
Okay awesome, thanks Coelacanth! Back to the web browser it is then
Nice, I hope this community grows and we get more regular content :-)
I have no photoshopping skills, but I really like the banner over at https://lemmy.world/c/casualconversation
A banner with the logo blending in like that looks really nice imho
This is awesome. I was just asking about moderation a few days ago. Let us know what the users can do to make it a thriving and welcoming community.
Just contribute stories and comments! We will figure out the rest as we go.
I have a small hope that I helped this c/ get going by trying to contribute at least every day with a post so people would see that the sub was active xd
Nice banner!
What size banner?
I believe 730px is the max width
This is my attempt with my below average Photoshop skills.
Signatures (left to right): Pele, Cruyff, Maradona, R9, R7, Messi
It's a nice, clean and simple design. Overall i like it, but my one bit of feedback is to scatter the signatures across the field (more random placement). I like the soccer ball pattern in the lemmy logo.
Yeah that's much better. I like it!
My man! 👍 👍
Added it but its getting cut off at the top, when looking at the post list but looks good when you are in comments
My comment from earlier today didnt post from Kbin, here it is:
Here is the wide version that shouldn't crop. I couldnt fit the whole field in because of the dimensions.
Looking at example of the banner here (https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld), it is much larger (2484x950), it adapts as you change window size. I'll see if I can make it bigger to get rid of the pixelation.
Edit: https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions has banner that doesnt crop on different screen sizes so I'll template that instead.
Also icon suggestions if you want to replace current icon:

I like the 3rd one but open to any of them they are great!
Wonder if thats too much Lemmy in the top of the page now with the icon and the banner...hmm
How about something a bit different?
Edit: https://ibb.co/WKb94rq - Fixed the rough border of the ball.
I like this one. Reminds me of the medals they used to give to you as a kid at football tournaments (Not that I've got many).
That looks pretty slick, I like that a lot more.
I don't mind the badge by itself but the repeated Lemmy logo on both the icon and the banner next to eachother doesn't look good to me. Easiest solution is maybe to just remove the Lemmy icon from the banner and just have it be a football pitch with all the signatures? I also wouldn't mind the soccer ball being more prominent in the icon/badge somehow, but maybe that is just nostalgia for the old place and the comfort of the familiar.
Did you take a look at the new different design?
Yeah honestly I'd give you that, you're making the sacrifice of modding this place, we'll let you be the owner of the first "new era" banner. Have at it
