Got an idea for next month's banner?

Last month we set a starry banner image for Matariki. It would be good to have some suggestions for new banner images.

So please post some suggestions, if we can get a few different ones to line up for the next few months (changing each month) that would be great. Original content encouraged but not required!

Upvote the ones you like and we'll try to prioritise them. We will start with a new image from next month (September).

Just so we know what we're talking about, this is the current banner image. You see it when you go to the community page (though it can look different depending on app or how you're accessing it):

Edit: Also please include a credit or source if applicable, which we can put in the side bar.

Thanks for submitting this. I had intended to add it for September, but missed it and feel like it should be up a whole month. So I've thrown in another image for the rest of this month, and I'll add this one for October 🙂

Yay! ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

This has my vote. Beautiful spot.

Do you have to access lemmy from the web to see the banner images? As a Reddit refugee because of Apollo I’m pretty much mobile only. Is there a way to see them on mobile or is it app dependent?

[–] d3Xt3r 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you, it is indeed a beautiful spot. Plus, seals!

As for the banner images, you can see it in the app as well, but that's app dependent.

Here's how the current banner looks like in Sync:

Other suggestions for months without significance:

Haast eagle, moa, other native birds

Tane Mahuta and native bush

Maybe feature small towns around NZ? Or interesting locations, like the toilets in Kawakawa, Rotorua museum, or Te Puia..

Maybe Ruapehu or Taranaki since they will have snow right now.

Would be nice to see the best flag alternative:

Never did like those flags. Shame no one came up with a compelling design. Perhaps it wasn't the time?

Love that flag alternative !!!!!
