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

Interesting infographic

An infographic design with information about flags with stars for you to check out.

From the creator's description:

It is a flagified version of the pale blue dot image taken by Voyager 1. The, "who speak for earth," is a callback to something said by Carl Sagan, the person who ensured the image's creation.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. -Carl Sagan

The Ontario Red Ensign on gold but with the union jack swapped for an improvised "Dish with One Spoon" wampum flag, a gold background, and the coat-of-arms shield replaced with a Trillium. Uses Ontario's green and gold colours, but with the added purple of the wampum belt.

Guide with nice large pics

This is on the Sons of the American Revolution website. I cannot identify the South Atlantic flag. This is the highest resolution offered on the website. The Union appears to be a lighter blue and longer than standard but google has been no help.

Title text:

Every place has a local cryptid; more places need a local Pictish Beast, a creature in historical art that's drawn so weirdly that no one can tell what animal it's supposed to be.
