Sitewide taglines

[not-layla]

Similar to Reddit's prompts with one of their slogans, sitewide taglines can function to make an instance more cosy for the community.

Implementation is pretty simple.

It's probably better if it's loaded in from the config file though, we currently have them hardcoded in a JSON file.

This seems like a good opportunity to introduce a config file for lemmy-ui (preferably separate from the backend config). It would also be useful for other optimizations, like changing the default theme.

No this should be in the backend like everything else, otherwise apps wouldn't be able to display it, or mods using those apps edit it. I see this as being another table, and coming back with GetSite.

[Nutomic]

That also works, but having it in a config file would be simpler. And i dont think that apps would really care to show this.

[not-layla]

Them coming back with GetSite gives more flexibility, I agree that mobile apps wouldn't show the taglines but other web/desktop apps written down the line will probably want to, it's more consistent. Is there a way to transfer issues or shall I recreate this issue in the backend repo?

[dessalines]

You could probably just recreate another one in the backend. I don't always do this, but almost every feature should have both a back end and front end issue.
