➤ Simple Guidelines

➧1. Include the original album name, author and year of release. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Author/s - Album Name (Unknown Year)]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

➧2. No low-effort/low-quality posts. Posts made to c/albumartporn are expected to be of high quality and have serious effort put behind them. The album cover should be clean, not have any urls/website watermarks in them.

➧3. Be Original

➧4. Be respectful. Harassment, abuse, name calling, and/or threats of any kind is not tolerated here. Any content, whether an image or a comment, that includes any kind of bigoted language or hate speech will be met with a permanent ban.

➧5. No off-topic Content Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not album art) or that contains gory material.

➧6. No spam or reposts. Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to c/albumartporn, and do not repost from the top of all time.

➧7. No advertisement or self-promotion. Do not use this community to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

➧8. No memes, gifs, videos, audios. Just album covers

➧9. Tag NSFW Posts · Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit”. Gore, both human and non-human is not allowed.

➠Feel free to report any content that does not respect these rules.

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!

I wasn't even aware we had flairs in Lemmy - - good thing!

Technically, Lemmy itself does not support flairs. It is just a feature in a couple particular third-party clients that also does not break anything or look weird in all the other clients that do not support it.

Rule 7 I think should only cover self promotion , don't see problem with direct links to songs

I don't think gore should be banned, it just need to be tagged as nsfw. I don't like Photon UI and Tesseract so i don't filter with flair, although it is useful. I hope flair will be a standard

And not to be an annoying vegan, but where is the line drawn between gore and a butcher shop? Or a raw steak ready to be cooked?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

If an artist decide thst a butcher shop is rhe best album cover for his album, i don't know why it can't be shared with a nsfw tag so people who don't to see gore doesn't see it
