Hello everyone!

I'm writing this to share some updates to hear some feedback from you.

Let's start with the updates:

• Introduced flairs, and I'm happy to see that some of you are using it to keep things more organized. As stated in the 'Introducing Flairs' post, this will remain optional for now as not all Lemmy clients support it.

• Changed the community image for the first time. The old one was a AI made image that I used when I created the community, I thought it was time to update it to a more gorgeous one. The current image is by Clem Onojeghuo on Unsplash. I hope you like it!

• I made the 'Rule 9' more clear, stating that "Gore, both human and non-human is not allowed.".

• 'Rule 1' had a typo with the mandatory posts title, it was fixed thanks to a feedback from a member.

Feedback! I want to know some feedback from you. What are you thinking of flairs? Do you use them? Do they improved the search in the community? What can be better about them?

Changes to 'Rule 7' Right now, 'Rule 7 - No advertisement or self-promotion.', states: "Do not use this community to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands." I'm seeing some users posting links to the artists 'Bandcamp' or other socials/websites and I'm fine with that. Do you think this rule should be changed to allow these kind of links and support the artists? Of course, in this case, 'Rule 6 - No spam or reposts.", would be updated to prevent a lost of posts with self-promotion/advertisement.

Other Feedback Do you have any other idea/feedback to improve the community? Let me know!

Thank you again everyone, I hope you keep enjoying the Album Art community!

Hello Lemmy!

I'm glad you're enjoying this community and sharing your favourite album covers! To keep things more organized, I'm trying to implement flairs to posts. This way, users can create and view flairs based on music genre/country.

This only works better with the 'Photon UI' and Tesseract Lemmy clients, so it will be optional for now, until more clients support it in the future.

I edited most of my posts here to include the music genres and I'm adding them to the sidebar. Feel free to create more and include them in your post titles.

How it works?

When submitting a Album Cover, use up to three genres: [Pop, Rock, Electronic] Album Title, Album Artist (YYYY)

If you want to specify the country, include them in the title: [Pop, Rock, Electronic, French Music] Album Title, Album Artist (YYYY)

List of Flairs:

• Alternative Rock
• Ambient

This list will be updated as more flairs are created by users.
