I just shoot the picture myself with the phone camera.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Saaaame but all of mine are of my cats.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

For a new phone, I put it on a table, and take a photo of black, then I set it as my wallpaper.

[–] deus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Came here to say the same. Solid black is the best wallpaper.

I just go to the Sailor Moon Scenery Tumblr and switch things out when I want a change: Link

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Mostly pictures I take myself. I dabble on photography and photo editing as a hobby.

[–] chtk@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I like dark wallpapers. Mostly I browse !thenightfeeling@lemmy.world for something I can crop to something interesting.

Backdrops is usually my go-to. I also used Tapet happily for a long time.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for this.

[–] anowhere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Tapet is great for generating and tweaking unique wallpapers, with user defined color palettes and effects.

[–] chahk@beehaw.org 5 points 2 weeks ago
[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

Found mine on https://wallhaven.cc/, but it's been a while, I just transfer it each time I change phones

[–] Stomata@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't know I find randomly. I do share them on mobile wallpaper Lemmy community

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've been using !mobilewallpaper@lemmy.world, not sure if there are others

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago
[–] Stomata@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There is a lot of people but feels like I'm the only one sharing.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

You can maybe try promoting it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world

[–] RoomTempCoffee@lemmy.cafe 4 points 2 weeks ago

Usually I'd just do a subreddit URL on imgur, like https://imgur.com/t/spaceporn (it used to be /r/ instead of /t/). But for the last couple years I've just been rotating the Dune book covers on the printings I have that someone on Reddit made textless versions of.

Same. Filter by portrait and go.
Sucks that the filtering only works on search results, sometimes they feature some cool collections on the homepage but you can't filter those because...???
I also liked it better when Unsplash+ wasn't a thing

Yeah. I like the collections but i wish they had a bulk download option... atm it's very tedious downloading them one by one

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Been using the Bing Wallpaper and NASA APOD. The NASA one changes every 24 hrs and i change the bing one every 12 hours. I use tasker to set the wallpapers.

[–] Byter@lemmy.one 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's an app to pull the Astronomy Picture of the Day and set it as a wallpaper

[–] Bruhh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I typically use concept art from my favorite media be it games, movies or shows

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

My current one I found here on Lemmy. Someone made a post showcasing a screenshot of some discussion around someone who took the iconic Luigi Mangione smile but did a furry version. I had to have it, so I downloaded it and have furry Luigi as my background currently.

Otherwise, it's usually images I find online on art sharing platforms like DeviantArt or FurAffinity.

[–] limerod@reddthat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I use Backdrops, Wallcanic walls, One4wall. I also search and apply whatever interesting wallpaper I may find on the internet.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 2 points 1 week ago

follow a bunch of artists on bsky and shoehorn their artwork in there

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I have no idea where it got Andraiod daydreams from but thought I'd make you a nice personal AI wallpaper πŸ˜‡

On a serious note though before peeps rip me a new one for even suggesting AI images?

Muzei is still pretty cool to this day, Xiaomi theme thingy has some probably knocked off images that I'm currently using, and even just searching for something when I'm that bored enough to actually change my wallpaper.

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Theres an app on Play Store called Backdrops. Beautiful wallpapers. Highly recommend. The Pro version is 5$.

searching on the internet.

[–] babyincubi@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago

Pinterest and the Delta Icon Pack app.

[–] trilobyte81@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I use wallpaper engine, I use it for my desk top also
