Hi there,

After @FlayOtters@lemmy.world was able to get in contact with @MushroomMan89@lemmy.world, I volunteered to help moderate this community. I would like to thank both of them for doing the legwork of creating this community/and doing work to keep it running!

I have been a lifelong football/soccer fan and am happy to help keep this community on track and discussing the sport we all love.

If you see something missing on the sidebar (or anywhere else), please let me know!

With that out of the way, does anyone have any photoshop/editing skills? It would be nice to create a banner for this community but that is not something I am excel in so happy to take contributions!

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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    I believe 730px is the max width

    This is my attempt with my below average Photoshop skills.

    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.

    Added it but its getting cut off at the top, when looking at the post list but looks good when you are in comments

    How about something a bit different?

    Edit: https://ibb.co/WKb94rq - Fixed the rough border of the ball.

    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.

    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.
