Was this feature not a thing 3 years ago? I don’t know why it bothers me, but I wish they would add some banners for their more active communities. It makes it just a little bit more official looking.

Edit: I believe the instance itself is also lacking a banner.

    Be the change you want to see, fellow lemming.

    But to answer why: a lot of us are on mobile and therefore don’t care or notice. No idea whether that’s the reason, but it might have something to do with it.

      I see banners on my mobile clients of choice. And have one on my community personally. Though I’m not on an ML domain 🤔

          Liftoff and jerboa. Connect doesn’t currently do them. Though I do like connects overall interface pretty good. For me lift off is really nice though because it runs on desktop and mobile. So I can have the same interface on my arch desktop as on my Android phone.

            Cool, thanks. Will check em out.

            Was looking at liftoff because of the x platform situation, but wefwef/voyager is just so close to Apollo that I’m comfy here lol.

              Yes I have not tried them yet. But lift off has been pretty nice on the whole. The main thing I miss is push notifications and that is the one super huge thing that connect has at least on Android. When I get a reply or message connect will push it up there along with all my other notifications we’re currently the others will show a little icon in the app. But not alert in the OS itself. I take that back I think on desktop lift off does ping the notification system under KDE.

    A lot of mobile apps don’t display community banners, and they’re how a lot of people interact with lemmy.

      Yeah, I can’t get desktop nor mobile browser-lemmy to allow me to log in so I’m using Connect. I didn’t even know communities have banners.

      I don’t even browse communities. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        All the .ml domains are gone for now. Mali the African country who is .ml took over their domain suffix this past week. So everyone is trying to figure stuff out.
