hey folks, quick update to say you've probably noticed our new community icons.

these icons were lovingly crafted by @[email protected], who posted them a couple of days ago over in Creative. we took notice of them and obviously--because they're our community icons now--really, really liked them.

thanks to his generosity in working things out with us, we're pleased to announce we can use his icons under a Creative Commons license for the site! until further notice they'll be our site icons, with credit to him on our sidebars. we'll also be adding attribution to the community sidebars over the rest of day as time permits.

we're also pleased to report that, thanks to your generosity, we've been able to reasonably compensate him for all 33 of the icons he's made for the community! the agreed to rate is $5 per icon, for a total of $165 that's been paid out to him as of today. this expense has been reflected on our Open Collective. (we've also agreed to, as possible, commission him for any future community icons until further notice, which will be subject to that same rate.)

hopefully you enjoy the new icons, and please thank UrLogicFails for the work here! thanks for using the site again folks!

Thanks so much for being here and taking reddit refugees in. Already feels like a warm place. :)

QUESTIONS:

  1. Is there a way to filter out content I don't want to see on the front page? I'm already seeing Trump news, for example.

  2. I have subscribed to some cool communities. It would be great to have posts from those communities served up as my main view. I can't figure out how to get those to be what I'm seeing by default. Any tips on customizing my experience?

Thanks again!!

For question 2, you can set the filter default in your settings, it's "helpfully" labeled...type 🤣

Hope that helps!

For question 1: I don't think that's a feature unfortunately.

For question 2: The main screen has three views : Subscribed (All your subscriptions) / Local (All Beehaw communities) / All (All of the stuff on Lemmy)

I think it might be a bug, cause i cant figure ou another explanation for it, but sometimes my local shows lemmy.world mixed in with beehaw (I do subscribe to them and a bunch of others but thats the only one that does that) and all does nothing at all, it just remixes local.

I have to insist a bit for the page to actually show me the all page. It's completely understandable considering everything right now, so I'm not really annoyed at it.

I think you have the "Randomly appear posts at the top" bug that is unfortunately fairly common. I would hope it's fixed in the next update to Lemmy we're doing tomorrow morning.

These are so perfect for the group, @[email protected]!

Oh man you guys are the best

I love the new icons, now they fit perfectly with the instance. I think that we also need a new logo, maybe a more minimalistic one (while still having the cowboy bee).

These are fantastic. Love the honeycomb design.

This is great - they really distinguish themselves well from other communities.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The icons look fantastic! I like seeing at a glance what's what via the bright symbols, as sometimes my vision isn't the best.
