hey folks, quick update to say you’ve probably noticed our new community icons.

these icons were lovingly crafted by @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org, who posted them a couple of days ago over in Creative. we took notice of them and obviously–because they’re our community icons now–really, really liked them.

thanks to his generosity in working things out with us, we’re pleased to announce we can use his icons under a Creative Commons license for the site! until further notice they’ll be our site icons, with credit to him on our sidebars. we’ll also be adding attribution to the community sidebars over the rest of day as time permits.

we’re also pleased to report that, thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to reasonably compensate him for all 33 of the icons he’s made for the community! the agreed to rate is $5 per icon, for a total of $165 that’s been paid out to him as of today. this expense has been reflected on our Open Collective. (we’ve also agreed to, as possible, commission him for any future community icons until further notice, which will be subject to that same rate.)

hopefully you enjoy the new icons, and please thank UrLogicFails for the work here! thanks for using the site again folks!

    Okay, thank you. I just saw the Subscribed option. The UX could be a bit clearer, overall… but so far, this is great. I’m bummed about the inability to filter out content I don’t want to see, though.

    Thanks for the quick answers! :)

      Feel free to add suggestions to the devs’ Issue tracker on Github (after searching for duplicates). Could take them a while to respond since they’re very busy bees preparing the next big Lemmy release right now.
