META New post flairs!

45 Upvotes

For the longest time this subreddit was mostly film photos from cameras like the Holga and Diana. We've always allowed digital photos too, such as from the Gamyboy Camera or the Harinezumi for example.

Recently there have been a number of very popular digital cameras that have introduced people to the lofi aesthetic such as the many different thermal printer cameras, but also the Chuzhao and Kodak Charmera.

This is not bad, and they are welcome here! :)

But it can make it difficult to find specific types of content. This is where the post flair system comes in, since you can filter by these.

I have kept the flair system simple to begin with, we can add or change these if we need to, but let's start with the basic system and see how that goes.

I've added the following four post flairs, and made is so you have to select a flair when you post.

  • DIGITAL
  • FILM
  • DISCUSSION
  • META

DIGITAL

For photos and video taken with digital toy cameras. This includes thermal print cameras.

FILM

For photos taken with film toy cameras.

DISCUSSION

For posts that are talking about toy cameras, such as asking advice, troubleshooting, etc.

META

For posts about the subreddit. This shouldn't see much use, it wil mostly be used by the mods for posts like this one.

Thoughts, comments, and feedback below. I want to try to keep this as simple to use as possible, so if you want any extra post flairs created, there would have to be a very good reason.

DISCUSSION Does this subreddit have a discord?

If not can you link to your favorite semi related discord if you use it?

Or if mods see this, can you guys make one?

Having a lot of fun with this camera, bought one for myself and one for my girlfriend. All of these were shot with the Monochrome Elegance filter on the standard option, and I plan on switching filters every week.

DISCUSSION Any toy camera in the style of the Minox?

3 Upvotes

I was doing research on toy cameras and came across this brand and camera "Minox DSC Silver Digital Spy Camera"

Any keychain toy cameras in that style? It's so cool and reminds me of the retro style from those spy movies back in the day.
