[META] Why is the banner of this community the Barbie movie poster?

That movie came out a year and a half ago. Can we update the banner? Was there a discussion about this that I missed?

Communities have banners?

Yeah they’re called moderators

On desktop they do. On the sync app, I can't see them

Oh right, it's been forever since I used the actual website.

If I am recalling things correctly, someone suggested putting the Barbie movie poster as the community banner as a joke. The community liked it, and it was never revisited again.

I suppose like one other commenter here wondered: “Is it because reddit, like the poster, is outdated?”


EDIT:

I tried looking for the post where I thought it happened, found a (now dead) link to what I think is the post, but also this screencap:

Oh, ofc, this post from last year with the same question (where I got the above goodies): https://lemmy.world/post/1252169

Wish I got an answer when I asked this a year ago

maybe we can use this thread to post new banner ideas :

There was a similar thread from a year ago, I thought it was from you. But nope. It wasn't you.

Again, I bet it's Ryan Gosling who did this.
