Hello World!

First off, better late than never: Happy Halloween!

Sorry we've been a bit quiet lately. But we love you, promises given! We're just working on a lot of things, and most of us are very busy with their daily lives lately. We'll be back with you to announce some of our projects tomorrow. <3

Lately, and gladly, here's a grand thanks to @canthidium@lemmy.world for giving us an amazing Halloween icon!

Things have been working fine for me, so well done and take whatever time things take.

Man it feels good to have no ads. Thanks Fediverse. Happy Halloween.

Seriously reddit can be the worst in that regard especially since you can't even block sponsored content in favor for different sponsored content

Aww, thanks so much for the shout out! And thank you for the love in the comments. I hope to make many more themed icons in the future. Keep a lookout!

I still have no idea how this works

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Hey, if I can figure out how Lemmy works, you definitely can too!

[-] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Whoa! If Barbie is on Lemmy, I think weโ€™re doing all right.

[-] SeanMallonOfficial@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I upvoted you because of your glowing statement.

I'll just leave this here. Explanation of Lemmy and Fediverse principles in lay-person's language.

I love the Halloween lemmy. I also subscribed to the lemmy dev patreon today. Glad to support the project and seems like a better use of funds than running my own instance.

Last year I bought 3 bags of candy and ran out crazy fast. We had almost 300 kids come by. Gonna be setting up some tables soon and moving outside. No costumed halloweener left behind.

Happy belated Halloween everyone. Nothing but love for the Lemmy commuinty.

The more I look at the icon, the more confused I am by it. Is it a pumpkin head, or a pumpkin mask? The ears are sticking through and there's a cut out for the nose so I'm guessing mask, but then what the hell happened to its eye? Does the mask turn half your face evil, or did some asshole jab him in the eye?

Or...is it implied he's like a Frankenstein's monster under there, cause of the green ears?

[-] canthidium@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

lol, so it started as a pumpkin head/jack o lantern, but as I was tweaking things here and there, I wasn't liking it so I kept going back to a very simple design of the orange pumpkin head with green "stem" ears. Then someone suggested making the eyes red and white and it just looked right, so here we are, haha. Sometimes graphic design is just an accident.

You guys all kick ass. Thanks for making such a great community.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Love the icon!!

Great work, team. Happy Halloween! ๐Ÿ‘ป

[-] buffysummers@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

That icon is super cute.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Very spooky, very cool!

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It took me way too long to figure out why the icon was orange when I saw it.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's so tiny on my screen I thought it might be Halloween-themed, but wasn't completely sure.

[-] DarthBueller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks for the update. Also, this comment is a downvoter honey pot. If you don't stop harassing me, I will start my own instance to find out who you are and report your account. Thank you.

[Removed post]

I was incorrect, and read the list wrong. Apologies for any confusion!
