lily if she was a programming language syntax:
proc main(argc: int32, argv: ref [char]) -> int32:
decl name: ref [char] = "lily"
fprintln("hi, %s", name)
ret 0
endRebrand I did for @lilypad, a social media site being developed by @lily. The logo is a loose combination of a lily pad and the generic social network icon you’ve likely seen plenty of times before. Took a few iterations to get this exactly right (working with circles can be hard sometimes), but got there in the end. A timeline of the drafts I did to get to this final logo can be found in the comments. 🏞️
wait. my computer is now only using 9GiB of ram instead of 10. could it be that the misskey line of instance softwares’ frontends are so badly optimised that it uses almost an entire gigabyte of ram? jesus christ. at least it’s not as bad as twitter though, that used 2GiB.
my fedi instance is gonna be down for a while so wasteof and cohost r probably gonna be my main platforms for a while til it’s back (or maybe lilypad will drop (unlikely; it’s hard to dev when it keeps oom'ing my computer))
EDIT: it’s back and still uses 1GiB of ram
oh shit i have 200 followers i didn’t even realise lol

i made a regex for determining if someone is a lily: /lill?(y|i(e$)?)(th|an(ne|a)?)?/gmi
explanation:
match lil
maybe match another l
match y or i
if matched i, match e if it's at the end of the string
maybe match th, or an
if matched an, maybe match ne or a
EDIT: more efficient version by @[email protected] (src: https://donotsta.re/objects/02824ead-e4a6-4aef-a129-827aab59d3ea) /lil*?[yi]([ea]|th|an(ne|a)?)?/gmi
explanation:
match li, then l again once or twice
match y or i
maybe match one of:
e or a
th
an, then ne or a
the emulator doesn’t support networking sadly, i think this project will have to wait a few weeks til i buy the shell for my psp
i should post on wasteof from a psp but i took mine apart so i’ll need to do it on an emulator until i put it back together

we currently have 3 “X”s - “X” itself, threads, and bluesky. we don't need any more “X”s. lilypad aims to be the third tumblr, making tumblr itself, cohost, and lilypad
an “X” is characterised by:
completely featureless black and white theme, rarely with small amounts of blue
owned by a huge corporation who are clearly focused on making large sums of money
incoherent or unsearchable branding
these tropes are often made fun of, but inexplicably draw large user bases.
a tumblr is characterised by:
very distinct and coherent design style and theme
user-focused app (themes, content, asks, etc)
fun (mascots (see cohost’s eggbug), colour, brand accounts have a personality (see tumblr’s twitter))
the world needs more tumblrs. go ahead and start a silly little wasteof clone, there are/were already a few (darflen, postLit). you might learn something new, and you'll definitely feel happier than scrolling the latest “X”.
