Agreed! :lw: It's such a cute critter!

We've done something awful, as a society.

Here are my humble three submissions!

The first is a bit of a mashup, mixing the proverbial light bulbs that go off in community threads and has a lemmy with full cheeks (probably after eating... a little too much!). Also, it looks like an ice cream cone. It's a bit more pop-art.

Only the finest content will do: the second one has a bit more of a 'fine dining' aesthetic, where users engage online in a sophisticated, gentle-lemmy manner. Its nose is tipped upwards, as if looking down on lesser memes.

The third one is more attached to your sought-after design. I attempted to channel the similar Fediverse art style, while keeping it simple enough for an app logo.

Exciting to see! Hopefully we start to get some network effects, and start seeing communities pop up from the different parts of the internet.

One of the things I quite like about Lemmy is that a group can host their own community, and for folks who are concerned about what happened at Reddit or otherwise, the fediverse/decentralized model allows them a high degree of control, while at the same time connecting them through an entire network of people to discover them. It's pretty exciting to see this.

If the mods of /r/AMA wanted to help out, how would you integrate them with this community's team?

Archive.org, one of my favourite websites, has been targetted by litigation.

What do you feel will happen to this website in the years and decades ahead? And what will happen to digital archiving should the site be eliminated from the web?

History, my friend.

History.

I'm already giving monthly through the Patreon for Lemmy.world / Mastodon.world. So, I'm fairly comfortable!

Seems like Voyager is a hit...

... but, I do offer another series of suggestions:

  • Hubertos, the patron saint of hunters. In addition to linkages to a cure for rabies, he is the patron of hunters, which has fit with the lemmings and critters that we share online.
  • Muroidea is the name for the superfamily of rodents, which you can read more about here.
  • ~~Artemis is another series of manned space flights from NASA~~.
  • Ulysses is another example. Add in it being a name of a mythological explorer, and it adds another layer.
  • Mushak: Ganesh, from the Hindu pantheon, rides a mouse. This mouse's name is Mushak according to some sects. As a divine mount, there's some fun pieces of lore and how this app is how Lemmy users can ride into knowledge of the world around them.
  • Ratatoskr is a Norse rodent, who carries messages on the world tree in that mythology. As this app shares messages and connects people, it's a fun way to share the core mission of Lemmy.

Those are some ideas! Hopefully some of this is helpful!

I am a proud monthly donor. My couple of bucks I send Ruud and the admin team every month helps make this corner of the internet a reality.

So, that's how it's funded.

If you're able, please consider sending in a donation. You can do so at Open Collective or Patreon.
