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.
I'll second this. I've been engaging with lots of people and it feels like a real community here.
I rarely contribute and the few interactions Ive had on Lemmy have been leagues better than anything on Reddit (or most other social media).
I find most people are here because they want the connection, not to earn internet clout. That seems to push people towards discussion, instead of the white noise I see elsewhere.
I just want to hug you all. Happy whichever holiday you’re celebrating right now. Loving all of you.

Slowly but surely. Reddit has had 18 years to build a base of 500 million.
Aww, thanks so much for the shout out! And thank you for the love in the comments. I hope to make many more themed icons in the future. Keep a lookout!
Great job @canthidium@lemmy.world, thank you 🫶
Thank you!!
I still have no idea how this works

is there a picture on what Federation does?
like how does my post on lemmy.world go to lemmy.ml
Okay let me try to explain my confusion:
I understand subreddits, and I understand servers. I know lemmy is like multiple different servers with multiple different subreddits in each server.
What I don't understand.
What server am I in? And how does that impact my ability to interact with other servers? Should I even care about what server I'm in? Are there things currently hidden from me on Lemmy depending on which server I originally selected?
Hey, if I can figure out how Lemmy works, you definitely can too!
Whoa! If Barbie is on Lemmy, I think we’re doing all right.
I upvoted you because of your glowing statement.
I'll just leave this here. Explanation of Lemmy and Fediverse principles in lay-person's language.

Proper icon mate looks bloody fab
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.
Mood: Spooky 🎃
Much love and Happy Halloween everyone!
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.

You guys all kick ass. Thanks for making such a great community.
Love the icon!!
I just joined Lemmy, looking forward to wasting a lot of time here!
welcome fob lemming.
thanks, your platform grows with the treatment you give to us
Great work, team. Happy Halloween! 👻
That icon is super cute.
Very cool, very spooky!
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!
