What does everyone think? I think community icons (similar to user avatars that we already have) make sense, but I’m torn about banners (for both communities and users) , as they might look very strange with all the different possible themes users could use. What do you think?

    I like the icons and banners idea for some visual variety. :) Perhaps the banners could go under the community name in the sidebar to avoid problems with theming. Perhaps something like this?

      I like this idea, looks clean.

      I like this except for the banner… but I have yet to see a good example of a site that does top banners really well.

        Yeah, they tend to be kind of distracting I find. I also like the way communism.lemmy.ml does it, where there’s a small banner in the description in the sidebar which is where I got the inspiration from originally. :)

          Ya I agree, that one looks really good and clean, just putting a banner in the sidebar like that.
