Good edit. Thing is, I think there's some compression going on in the backend, so even with an .SVG file, it might be somewhat complicated.

I'm going to probably make a quick GitHub page for the editing files with an .SVG, so the mod team, admin team and community managers can access all the files and edit them to spec.

But you're right: the pixelation on the edges is causing my artist OCD to flare up. Good suggestion, Margot!

Oh! I got a shoutout on Mastodon.

With all of the bits and bobs in flux, it's all good. I'm already noted on the Mastodon instance and on the blog, and for other projects, so it's all good.

We're probably due for a monthly update in late July, when things quiet down and things get sorted. So, I think a shoutout makes the most sense then (or maybe later).

Thank you for having me! ♥️

Ah! I'm on Mastodon.world!

EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually...

Seems like Voyager is a hit...

... but, I do offer another series of suggestions:

  • Hubertos, the patron saint of hunters. In addition to linkages to a cure for rabies, he is the patron of hunters, which has fit with the lemmings and critters that we share online.
  • Muroidea is the name for the superfamily of rodents, which you can read more about here.
  • ~~Artemis is another series of manned space flights from NASA~~.
  • Ulysses is another example. Add in it being a name of a mythological explorer, and it adds another layer.
  • Mushak: Ganesh, from the Hindu pantheon, rides a mouse. This mouse's name is Mushak according to some sects. As a divine mount, there's some fun pieces of lore and how this app is how Lemmy users can ride into knowledge of the world around them.
  • Ratatoskr is a Norse rodent, who carries messages on the world tree in that mythology. As this app shares messages and connects people, it's a fun way to share the core mission of Lemmy.

Those are some ideas! Hopefully some of this is helpful!

Excellent episode!

No reason why it couldn't be!

I think [email protected] would love a themed logo, with extra whiskers and cat ears! ♥️

Also, today I learned that I can't upload video to Lemmy? Alas, something for the wishlist file, I suppose.

Swapped.

Thoughts?

Ruud to the rescue!

I'm complimented by the request!

I recommend... Checking in with your community, first. I've always found when there is a group of folks who get together, and create together, form some really amazing bonds. So perhaps give your team on your community a swing at a banner first.

And, if no one puts their hand up, let me know in a month, and I'll see what I can do!

The neighbourhood association I volunteer with wrote a letter about this.

Bad move by city hall. Do better, squad!
