I'm a bit too late to the party, but i will tell you about what i use.
I use a wireless IP camera from Reolink. You can use any camera really.
Then I purchased a license for Blue Iris, so i have that running on my computer downstairs.
Blue Iris is so under-rated. Its really good, there's a setting for anything you can think of and quite advanced motion detectors.
Thank you for the suggestion regarding the hardware. Two follow-up questions:
Would you mind letting me know the model of the camera you're using?
Blue Iris sounds awesome! But it also sounds like quite a bit of compute is required to run it. Is that true? Or could I also run in on a RPi, maybe even with Coral AI stick?
I'm a mod. My subreddit (kbin.social/m/bestof) will not get a facelift any time soon, I don't think. Aren't people expecting to customize their own view of all communities?
Also, do the visuals persist to all of the fediverse? How does your community look on kbin, lemmy, etc?
As a magazine having a custom CSS isn't important for whether I decide to interact with a community, I'm much more focused on other methods of gathering an audience and activity which isn't just me posting over and over.
I've done some decorating over at https://kbin.social/m/ArcBrowser. Not done yet, but for Arc Browser users, the colors will adjust to match your browser theme!
I played around with it but honestly it's a bit of a nightmare to support given all the different Kbin user themes and the differences between desktop and mobile. Kbin is also not stable in the sense that new changes are expected and new themes are still being added. I figured I'd wait until it stabilized and/or until someone came up with a decent design you can easily plug and play.
The closest thing to an account migration would be to create a kbin account and follow your previous mastodon follows. You should then be able to see their content in the Microblog tab.
The Magazines tab isn't present on Mastodon and there is no similar function there.
You perfectly described a water park in my home town, although mine closed down in the 1990s. It had a "silver bullet" slide, a bunch of conventional slides and a tube slide, a lazy river, a wave pool, a pretty decent arcade and a go-kart track, and probably a bunch of other stuff I don't remember from spending big chunks of my childhood summers there. Birthday parties and school trips, too.
After it closed down, some of the slides were moved to a golf course across town that wanted to expand, but it wasn't as good and it was way too far to go by bus. The original park is the loading dock for a Home Depot now.
