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

I still have no idea how this works

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?

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.

thanks, your platform grows with the treatment you give to us

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

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

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.

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