New community for tree lovers! (slrpnk.net)

Hi SLRPNK,

This post has two purposes. First, I wanted to introduce a new community I just created, !treehuggers@slrpnk.net. This community is for all things tree related, similar to /r/marijuanaenthusiasts which many former redditors may know.

Also, I have a few questions about community creation

  1. Since we're a small instance, other instances won't be able to see any posts from before anyone from that instance has searched for this community, correct? If so, maybe I should have waited before creating the introductory post. Is there any solution to this problem?

  2. I tried to upload a banner but it doesn't seem to appear. Any thoughts as to why that could be? Are there any limitations to size, file type, or dimensions?

  3. I thought I had a third one but I can't remember... I'll edit if it comes to me!

Ah, the intro-post, no. That will be only visible for local users or people explicitly searching for it. But you can put the important info into the side-bar for everyone to see.

Our requirement of an intro post is mainly for local users and also for technical reasons as there is no easy way to remove a mod that never posted in a community should they abandon their account. This sounds like an edge-case, but surprisingly it happened several times already on this instance.

Thanks for explaining. I tried sizing down the image but still no luck. It was a png if that matters. I’m done working on this for now but maybe I’ll try some more things later or tomorrow.

Hmm, I just uploaded a .png banner to this community without problems. Really no idea what is going wrong on your end, sorry.
