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.
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.
