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.

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?
https://github.com/skyraptor777/Lemmy_bots/
This is United's! It actually works so yea
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.
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.
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.
Added it but its getting cut off at the top, when looking at the post list but looks good when you are in comments
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.
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.
Also icon suggestions if you want to replace current icon:

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 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.
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
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.
