Looking to update the community icon and banner and want to see what you all come up with. As far as graphic arts go, I'm the worst so I want to crowdsource it out for best results. When the community was first set up I just kind of threw the current ones on there.
Best I can tell, the optimal sizes are 256x256 for the icon and 1320x240 for the banner. I've tried and failed to find a consistent answer on banner-sizing, but every answer has been different. Different apps also seem to display them differently, so I just picked a few that displayed well on different apps and averaged their sizes. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ If you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears.
Animated icons/banners are fine, but they should be in the animated webp format. webm doesn't work well everywhere and GIFs are too large and also inconsistently supported. While webp doesn't animate in all apps, it still looks good as a static image unlike GIFs.
I'll see if I can extract that without getting the credits and stuff below.
Huh. I'm surprised that worked at all. I've never even tested the upload handler with videos nor thought about them lol. I'll add that to my bug list.
Yep. The same form is used when you're creating a new community and when editing an existing one. There's no counts for a new community, so I put in dummy values. There's also no counts when calling that particular API endpoint to edit the community. So rather than another API call to fetch those, I just always use the dummy values since they're not really relevant there anyway.
Edit: Patched up the upload handler so it now properly supports videos ๐
I already have the video files ready to go, so here you go!
Zoomed in as little as possible, but still far in enough to not get any of the TV bezel in the shot:
Zoomed in further so Liz takes up more of the frame:
I don't hate it ๐
The less-zoomed one I think works better since the other one is hard to tell what she's doing.
Faked it up in Lemmy UI for funsies:
The icon doesn't have to come from Dealbreakers haha. Though that is the most GIFfable episode that comes to mind.
@ptz@dubvee.org The video uploads still bugged out when I uploaded them.
It was fixed in dev, I meant lol. I just released 1.4.26 to the main frontend, so it should be live for everybody now.
