In Dutch it’s called a trouwring, which as a verb literally translates to wedding ring, but as a noun also to loyalty ring.
Which I find rather sweet.
That could be an alternative, but it would make the whole process a lot more involved.
Maybe a new post could be made after the seven days are over with all the entries added as replies for people to vote on? Then after 24 hours a winner can be declared. It would at least give everyone an equal chance as far as exposure to the Lemmy algorithm goes and everyone can submit their entry at their own speed.
- Open submission post
- Let participants add their entries to the post as replies
- Close submission post after 7 days
- Create voting post with all entries as replies.
- Wait 24 hours
- Tally upvotes and other points to declare winner.
That would basically be an instant disqualifier, I don't want to kick people out of the challenge altogether.
But I realize this -1 doesn't work that well either when a lot of people post anyway. Maybe the whole upvote system just doesn't work that well.
:D
I was wondering where those came from, well it adds to the image so I'm not complaining :)
I can see why you're no fan of the 24h thing. My reasoning was that the first 24 hours always gets most of the views, and a lot of people vote on whatever image is already posted and don't check back again afterwards.
The idea was to level the playing field a little for those who need a bit more time to post, whether it's because they're not free or because they might be living in a different time zone.
Anyway, like I wrote in my previous challenge, it's an experiment. If you and others think it works better without the 24h rule, then of course we can always change things back to how they were.
That's strange, I've added you in. The script I use should have shown you properly but for some reason you got filtered out.
I think it's the regular expression that searches for an image, maybe it's something in the alt-text you used that didn't flag it properly? I'll keep an eye out for it with next week's score.
Sorry for the mistake!
Ok, I'll make one instead then.
Enjoy your vacation! :)
I hosted the last one as well. I'm happy to pass the next challenge on to @Itrytoblenderrender@lemmy.world considering they ended up 2nd and the other two already hosted a challenge more recently.
That's really weird..
I still see it pinned on fedia.io as well. Must be a federation issue?
Let me know if you see this happen again with the next challenge and I'll hit that sticky button a couple of times. Other than that, there's not much else I can do.

They: "Hey, can you move your bag? I'd like to sit there."
Passenger: "Sure, no problem"
Or, in my case..
They: Stand still and give the smallest glance in my direction
Me: Put my bag on my lap in record time, glance up, smile awkwardly :)
Seriously, I'm guilty as hell of putting my bag next to me in the train. Mainly because I'm not putting it on the floor together with who knows what kind dirt is lying down there. And It's awkward to keep it on my lap if it's not necessary. Of course it's different when it's a busy train.
You posted this image three times in a row with different titles.
I removed the other two and will leave this one in.
Please don’t do this again, it’s considered spam.
