The current community rules require sourcing images used in art; Rule 8. Note that images from the US federal and state governments -- which include a lot of official military images -- are very commonly in the public domain and can be freely used. The Department of Defense explicitly places imagery without specific restrictions in the public domain.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Banner made by u/Fertility18
founded 1 year ago
MODERATORS
The crowd over at [email protected] generates images constantly, so if you're up for an AI-generated image -- which might permit for something with a more-cohesive feel than an image montage, might cross-post there to ask for submissions, get stuff maybe more like this:
The existing banner appears to be a montage of images that were previously posted to /r/NCD. Like, the Democracy is Non-Negotiable image appears to be a rescaled version of this:

Could patch together something out of those posts.
No planes without clothes in this one. It's a no from me dawg.
Yeah, this is our one chance to be family-friendly before being banned for something or other. This grease trap dweller under the Pentagon votes "modestly clothed".
Why would a plane need clothes? You ever seen an F16 wearing pants? Get outta here with that shiz

I prefer the old one over anything ai generated tbh
Well, it sounds like the existing one's changing. You willing and able to hand-create and contribute something worthwhile yourself? If you've got a personal objection to generated images, that'd be a constructive way to provide a viable alternative.
You probably want to list your desired resolution.
Look, I already told you I suck at this (I'll find out)
Edit: 960x240, 4:1 ratio appears to be right answer
at least a 5/10 if you want to be half way decent
960x240 is what one post said
investigates
In my web browser, browsing the lemmy.today Web UI, looking at the homepage for the community, if I take a screenshot, the current banner appears to be displayed at 966x129; the actual underlying image is 4,000x533.
Looking at a different community's banner [email protected], I get 966x240 visible in a screenshot, with the underlying image being 1,792x672.
So at least on my browser and viewed on that Lemmy frontend, I'm a little suspicious -- without looking at the code -- that 966 might be some kind of native target for width. It can clearly handle higher-res, and that might be desirable for some higher-resolution displays or clients, if they leverage that.
EDIT: Man, this should be on some kind of Lemmy community moderation wiki. Like, every moderator shouldn't have to individually figure this out.
EDIT2: One reference to 960x240 that I can find is here, though as I said, it doesn't appear to be quite right for native display resolution -- on my browser, maybe just something wonky with me -- and in that post, they point out that different themes can take advantage of higher resolution.
EDIT3: In the CSS, at least in the current default Lemmy Web UI, it looks like .banner has a max-height attribute of 240px, so I think that it's safe to say that at least in that environment, it won't grow past that.
The Lemmy mobile apps probably also handle banners differently
I will zap you with my zat if you don't have an amazing Cake Day!
Aww thanks, I will indeed!
MS Paint. Mouse only.
Too credible I made my work computer background in ms paint lol

Please, I can only be so erect.
I don't think that it'll likely hit that level, but note that sh.itjust.works has an instance rule against pornography (which is certainly not strictly adhered to, probably not even in the past image submissions on this community). But just saying, given that a community banner image is probably higher-profile than a one-off image submission.
This is porn to me.
So hot
