I made a flag waver bot for this community.
call it with !wave in the comments or post body.

EDIT: there seems to be a bug in the bot library i'm using and it will reply anywhere on lemmy as long as I am subscribed to the community. I may shut the bot down until this is fixed to prevent spam.

EDIT2: It should be working now, I added a workaround for the library bug and opened a github issue.

Update: I have added body text waving and waving of multiple links in a post. Also waving links in comments.
Example (see comments):
test image
another link

Update 2: It's open source now!!
github

Update3: lemmy.world is not federating with my instance for some reason, I can make comments but none of your comments are reaching my instance and the bot is not responding.

I've run some tests and the issue here is lemmy.world, I can see a post I made to [email protected] but not [email protected] the issue seems to be intermittent starting and stopping throughout the day, needless to say there isn't anything I can do about this, sorry.
~~It might be because I'm still on 0.17.4 but my server won't run 0.18.0 and the bot won't run on that version.~~ nvm lemmy.world is also on 0.17.4, I have not idea what this issue is

I didn't realize there was one for this. Aside from the text I think it's really nice. Unique but simplistic.

Original Sci Fi Flag Idea - Discuss and Critique Please (ttrpg.network)

submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I came up with an idea for a flag of an interstellar federation for a Sci Fi project I've got floating around in my head. I don't think anything much will come of it, but I figured I might as well share my flag idea with you guys and see what you think.

The Flag of the Neo-Terran Federation is as follows: A deep blue field with a single black pile in the top quadrant. It has a center charge of a golden Phoenix, in a stylized form similar to Art Deco, the leading edges of its outstretched wings following the lines of the black pile. Beneath the wings of the phoenix are a number of Stars equaling the systems of the Federation.

I would like to know what you think of this design, as well as what you can infer of the federation based on its symbolism; mainly to make sure I got the symbolism correct. If anyone wants to draw and post this, I would be thrilled to see it.

I didn't expect to see this in the rural western US.

Please pardon the water drops in the image. I was shooting through a car window.

A better picture of the flag is on Wikipedia:

I made these to be a flag of evil or a flag of the enemy. Can be used for fictional Obviously Evil countries or for aggressor aircraft. Which one do you like better?
