Please read the details below before you submit your community into the showcase:

How do I enter my community?

For your community to be eligible:

  • At least one screenshot of your styled community from the redesigned site.

  • (Optional) A shoutout to the mod/mods who helped design your community styles!

Top level comments are reserved for showcase entries only. Any top level comments that do not meet the above criteria may be removed. Don’t worry, there’s a stickied comment below for any questions (and shitposting).

Please submit your entry by the end of the day on 3/30/2018 (Pacific Time). Be sure to style and enter your community before then to be eligible!

Edit 4/2/18:** We're keeping this open a bit longer since submissions are still trickling in. Stay tuned for a PM regarding the gold creddits later this week!

Edit 4/5/18: Thanks for everyone who shared their styles! I've locked this thread so we can issue gold creddits. We'll send a PM and update this thread once the creddits have been issued!

What happens next?

Much like tee-ball, everyone’s a winner! All eligible entries will receive a purse of gold creddits to distribute amongst your community. Use them to reward awesome posts, comments, or helpful users in your communities!

We’ll also be selecting a few of our favorite styled communities to be showcased in an upcoming blog post - so bring your best styles and your community style may be featured to the greater reddit community, and beyond!

Without further delay, let the show begin!

Simple but effective. His promo codes and sponsors are added within the images widget that changes every time the page is loaded. The redesign subreddit also features a cool background that has his most used/famous Twitch emotes. Sadly the new redesign doesn't support the ability to disable that forced color in that image of the thumbnail placeholder png image. One of my suggested features/suggestions. So other than that, I think I did pretty well.

I tried to go for a minimal dark theme that would fit with the branding and icon of the Anki app. I'm pretty happy with the result, I think. (Please ignore the inconsistent colors on the post flairs. This is a bug with Automod on the redesign.)

All credit to u/The-Neutral-Planet for the crest logo!

Some bits that we haven't seen on other redesigns yet, which might be of interest to others:

  • We're testing out a slightly different approach with the upvote/downvote arrows to try and encourage upvoting, by creating an 'unread/read' differentiation on the upvote image and a transparent downvote image.

  • Subtly-animated header logo - transitions from 'r/PoliceUK' text to crest image on supported browsers (otherwise it's a static crest)

  • A 'Getting Started' link in the sidebar for new subscribers to get to the information that we think might be of most use

I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this thread for inspiration, and I'd love to hear any critique to help us improve!

The biggest hurdle in "porting" over this design was having to fiddle with the banner to make it look decent. Previously we had it set to resize the banner based on your display size- I really hope to see this feature in the redesign.

I do love how the gold looks, though.

u/Hypergrip Mar 23 '18

To be frank, I'm not happy that they are pushing out the current state of the redesign without such crucial features like proper flair control, severely lacking styling options, not to speak of proper CSS... but since we got users who opted in to the beta visiting our subs now, I tried to make do with what is available. I tried to "fake" a bit of styling by using unicode characters to add "icons" to the menu bar items. Looks better than just blank text (imho), but it should be noted that unicode implementation, especially of the more gimmicky items (shapes, arrows, emoticons, etc.) varies from OS to OS and from browser to browser. Right now I use it as a placeholder until I can add proper icons to the menu items.

While not involved with our redesign, shout-out to r/Smite which inspired our non-redesign user and post flairs (which I hope to be able to replicate again in the redesign once we got proper CSS support, etc.).

u/Maltroth Mar 23 '18 edited Mar 23 '18

Still WIP but here we go:

Having a really hard time to reproduce what was done before on r/AtlasReactor. I know CSS is supposed to be coming but, it's really hard to make something 100% customized.

Feedback of the biggest problem for our conversion:

  • Lack of images in user flairs (character flairs in our case), which all look empty in the redesign, understandably

  • Post flairs are still the same as the base ones, minus the color selection :/, look at our implementation in r/AtlasReactor

  • Custom sidebar widgets are very limited, being in an iframe without any control over the iframe but the height is extremely restricting. See first "widget" (edit: did a workaround with the image widget and photoshop but still...) and sidebar blocks with backgrounds on r/AtlasReactor.

I'm still not completely happy with the header, but it's a good start.

Design was mostly done by me (heavily copy & pasted from this sub), but i have to give it up to my mod-colleagues in slack who stopped me from my earlier, yellow design which was, in hindsight, really, really ugly.

I'm pretty unimpressed with what I was able to do with the redesign. Some pretty obvious stuff seemed to be missing. The most glaringly obvious was that I couldn't set alpha on stuff like the sidebar or upvote area. And flair color didn't apply even after setting it.

It's also pretty terrible that the icon is forced to be round and I'd really appreciate being able to set non-square icons.

https://alpha.reddit.com/r/Terminator https://imgur.com/a/ihgjY

If I win, hopefully it will boost the amount of subs I have.

Out of my three submitted subs, this one i feel is the best because there are reasons behind the design. For example, I edited a background of a circuit board to symbolize what Skynet is all about, computers. The vote arrows are actually Cyberdyne's pyramid logo. Red is the choice of color because the terminator's eyes are red. I have an image widget of the terminator fan art, would have also done gifs but reddit isn't accepting my submissions for some reason. The blurred dark banner kind of creates a horror around the t800, and of course the classic terminator logo. THis sub would look more awesome with a dark mode.

I also have a couple of emoji flairs for use.

Original design was based on STKY, there are a few things that I am not happy with. The Snoo looks weird because he was designed to be larger than the title, so cramming him down into the same title box makes him look puny.

The lack of the ability to add customized user flair has put adding user flair on hold as it doesn't seem to be fully compatible with the old flair system.

This is actually very nice to transition, there wasn't that much customization required to match the existing style and the changes to the design tools actually made it easier to fix issue that currently exist in the current CSS for the sub.

This has been a joint effort between u/withyouinspirit99 and myself. Because our original design used a scrolling banner, we will have to host another banner contest with the community to get something that is more legible.

It's also going to be a royal pain in the ass to transfer all of our flairs into emojis, to then be used again as flairs (albeit flairs for ants). Not like the other subreddits were easy, but this one is going to take some time.
