Hey everyone! Been a bit since the instance has been created (and 0.19 is dropping soon) so figured it was time to update the logo and banner to look a bit nicer
The current logo is made using fira code and the banner is a quick one made by snowe
The banner though tends to not look great when text is overlayed on it in certain apps due to it being text on text and it doesn't stand out that well due to it just being black
Submissions
You can submit new logos or banners below that you think would be good for the instance. After around a week theyll be collected together and then ill run a vote for which ones people like the most
Please only submit stuff you have a proper license to use (either you made it or its something such as CC0)
If you submit something you acknowledge that we can then use that for the instance
Current Icon & Banner

Ill be adding in the current icon and banner into the vote as well when im running that if people like them better than the new options
Other misc things
- Voting will be most likely ranked voting. I can try to create a web page that will handle voting so people can vote by logging into their p.d account and then voting with that
- You can submit as much as you want, just if someone is spamming way to many similar things ill limit the amount that is put in the voting section
📌Ill be pinning this post in the instance for a couple days, then will pin the vote when that happens
Sites back up
Got a lot of information about what it actually causing the issues which should help me automate some fixes for tomorrow + the weekend
There likely will be some more downtime tomorrow if I have time (if not itll be on saturday)
The issue is essentially a chain of issues with one needing to be fixed before I can fix the others. Some tables have duplicates entries which is preventing reindexing (since the indexes are broken). First one im going to try to fix is the post table.
I did some changes to remove a duplicate community to test which is https://programming.dev/c/photography@lemmy.world and ive managed to make it merged and now comments will show if you sort by comments in the community. Posts however still aren't showing up due to the posts table having the issue with duplicates as well. (fixing posts first so I can set all of the posts to the correct community in an automated way later for the communities)
