It's the first advertising I've seen on Lemmy, and for my eyeballs it's not a welcome intrusion.

Jeez, I hope Lemmy and the fediverse will be powered by enthusiasm and donations, not by advertising.

So it’s essentially a shitpost banner. That’s hilarious lol

Missed opportunity to do it in Paint.

I just hope it's the same banner in 5 years. The longer it stays the funnier it is.

Screenshot of Lemmy post asking for banner image submissions for the Reddit community on Lemmy. Top comment apparently by a moderator contains the following text followed by an image of a poster for the Barbie movie

"In addition, we have received this image submission earlier today from an anonymous member of our community, who also offered the c/reddit moderation team, and I quote, "one Barbie-llion dollars", to set it as the community banner. We’re not sure what to make of this"

Probably because of @margotrobbie@lemmy.world

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

It wasn't me, you can't prove it was me, because I was out promoting "Barbie"... Somewhere else.

[-] rbhfd@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I should probably be excited about talking to "Margot Robbie", but I'm just happy I managed to tag someone correctly on the first try!

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

Damn, right? @rbhfd ! Did that work or did I fuck it up?

Come on, Barbie, let's go party!

"Candyman" is the better song, IMO.

Whatever in creation exists without her knowledge exists without her consent. He's just Ken.

I think the logo and the banner is funny, it really represents what reddit has become very well.

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

Well, everyone is leaving Reddit because Reddit is making a bunch of changes for advertisers. Sooooo….

[-] Korne127@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Unfair against Oppenheimer 😔

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
