Updates + Feedback - eviltoast

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!

    Update: Some communities joined the ‘Family Communities’ section on the sidebar:

    Music.world - !music@lemmy.world

    Jazz -!jazz@lemmy.world

    Fake Album Covers - !fakealbumcovers@lemm.ee

    Obscure Music - !ObscureMusic@lemm.ee

    Vinyl and LP’s - !vinyl@lemmy.world

    Electronic Dance Music - !edm@reddthat.com

    60’s Music - !60smusic@lemmy.world

    70’s Music - !70smusic@lemmy.world

    80’s Music - !80smusic@lemmy.world

    90’s Music - !90smusic@lemmy.world

    I believe that the fediverse is about sharing and finding your place, this is a way to stay organised and help people find the best community to share what they want. I asked these community mods to put them here. If you mod a community about music, send me a DM. If you’re interested, join one of them.

      Hi, I’ve reciprocated on ObscureMusic. Whilst I’m here I’d also like to note a typo you’ve made in your last link. “70’s music” is listed again for 90smusic. It’s also on your sidebar too.

    • I updated the community sidebar with a nice GIF by KAKTUZBOY. Tell me what you think!

    • I also created a new ‘Family Communities’ category for ‘Music’ with related communities on Lemmy. If you’re a mod of a music community and want to see it there, send me a PM.

    • The ‘Family Communities’ are now organized with ‘tabs’, so it’s easier to read and keeps the sidebar smaller.

    After the update of lemmy.world to the latest Lemmy version, posts submitted by users in this instance now show as a ‘image’ instead of a link in Mastodon. If you’re interested in following the community on Mastodon: https://your-mastodon.instance/@albumartporn@lemmy.world or search for @albumartporn@lemmy.world

    If you only want to see the album covers, follow the hashtag: #albumartporn (of course, this way, there’s a chance that content from outside the community may appear.)

    Integration is still not perfect, but it’s a way of keeping up to date and ‘boost’ albums on there.

    Rule 7 I think should only cover self promotion , don’t see problem with direct links to songs

      That’s the thing, I’m asking feedback about it so music artists on Lemmy/Fediverse can post their album covers and share their work without being deleted by this rule. Also, I want to edit the rule to make possible to post links to Bandcamp/videoclips, etc… possible.

    I don’t think gore should be banned, it just need to be tagged as nsfw. I don’t like Photon UI and Tesseract so i don’t filter with flair, although it is useful. I hope flair will be a standard
