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

these icons were lovingly crafted by @[email protected], 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!

They look nice! Fits a lot more with the instance's theme. Awesome work!

By the way, are there any news on updating the instance to the newest Lemmy release, if it isn't already?

we should be doing this tomorrow around 7 or 7:30 am ET, with up to 30 minutes of downtime.
