This one is super old and still references Reddit. A kind soul tried making a custom banner for us a while back, but I didn’t get much feedback when I posted about it so I just left things as they are and procrastination took over. I need help. I have zero artistic ability, and suck this sort of thing.

      In my web browser, browsing the lemmy.today Web UI, looking at the homepage for the community, if I take a screenshot, the current banner appears to be displayed at 966x129; the actual underlying image is 4,000x533.

      Looking at a different community’s banner [email protected], I get 966x240 visible in a screenshot, with the underlying image being 1,792x672.

      So at least on my browser and viewed on that Lemmy frontend, I’m a little suspicious – without looking at the code – that 966 might be some kind of native target for width. It can clearly handle higher-res, and that might be desirable for some higher-resolution displays or clients, if they leverage that.

      EDIT: Man, this should be on some kind of Lemmy community moderation wiki. Like, every moderator shouldn’t have to individually figure this out.
