Flag waver bot! (lemmy.douwes.co.uk)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/vexillology

I made a flag waver bot for this community.
call it with !wave in the comments or post body.

EDIT: there seems to be a bug in the bot library i'm using and it will reply anywhere on lemmy as long as I am subscribed to the community. I may shut the bot down until this is fixed to prevent spam.

EDIT2: It should be working now, I added a workaround for the library bug and opened a github issue.

Update: I have added body text waving and waving of multiple links in a post. Also waving links in comments.
Example (see comments):
test image
another link

Update 2: It's open source now!!
github

Update3: lemmy.world is not federating with my instance for some reason, I can make comments but none of your comments are reaching my instance and the bot is not responding.

I've run some tests and the issue here is lemmy.world, I can see a post I made to [email protected] but not [email protected] the issue seems to be intermittent starting and stopping throughout the day, needless to say there isn't anything I can do about this, sorry.
~~It might be because I'm still on 0.17.4 but my server won't run 0.18.0 and the bot won't run on that version.~~ nvm lemmy.world is also on 0.17.4, I have not idea what this issue is

Flag of the kingdom of Hejaz, the Arab Revolt, and Pan-Arabism. (lemm.ee)

My favorite flag of all time. It was firstly used in the Arab Revolt, designed by sir Mark Sykes.

After the Arab Revolt, it was used for the Kingdom of Hejaz.

Most famously, the flag went on to inspire most flags in the Arab world, and the legacy of the flag lives on through the flags of Palestine, Jordan, Sudan, Kuwait, and more.

Yes, it's a flag of surrender. And also a literal dishtowel. They used what they had, which wasn't much, apparently, lmao

Designed by deafblind artist Arnaud Balard in 2013, it was adopted by the National Federation of the Deaf of France (Fédération nationale des sourds de France) in 2014 and by the Word Federation of the Deaf in 2023. It's official symbolism is:

  • Hand: The signing deaf community and sign languages

  • Fingers: Use of sign languages around the world (over 200 languages) and the 5 continents (in order from top to bottom Europe, the Americas, Asia, Oceania and Africa)

  • Turquoise: World color of sign language, deaf culture, and the signing deaf community

  • Yellow: Light, life, the awakened mind, and coexistence

  • Navy Blue: Planet Earth, humanity, and the color adopted to represent deafness
