It was really been a blast to run this event, thank you all for participating!! ♥♥♥
Timelapses, pixel placement log file & any other info is available at https://toast.ooo/post/288913
I didn’t even know it existed so they clearly need to advertise it better.
Funny. I knew all about it and saw mentions and promotions leading up to it and during it multiple times. I’m guessing some time zone displacement or something? Maybe some community separations?
Same here, I saw several announcements on Fediverse communities and elsewhere
I posted here about this exact question already, but it was very difficult to get instance admin’s attention 😅
I’m an instance admin and I’ve never heard of this matrix room before. Did you try advertising it on the official matrix Space for Lemmy?
I didn’t advertise it in the general project chat, I sent it in the general admin chat
my reasoning was to “surprise” the general users of lemmy but still give admins plenty of time to prepare for it
if you’re an instance admin, there is a Matrix room specifically for instance admins & canvas here
Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!
TIL we had our own Place going on and I somehow missed it. 😭
It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!

What?? When was this? Aw, man!
When’s the next one?

You can make a federated link by going !canvas@toast.ooo rather than posting the link, makes it much easier for users to join from LW!
fixed 👍
Thanks! I subscribed, and will hopefully see it on the feed next time haha
Seems like a good balance-- big enough to not devolve into territory battles, small enough to look full in the end.
The fun thing is seeing what content is missing-- it seems like some fandoms never really migrated to the Fediverse. For me, a lack of Genshin stands out; anything this big usually gets a Fallen Qiqi out of principle.
Ya this is the first post I’ve seen about it. I’m sad I missed it.
For real what the shit man, I’m almost exclusively on lemmy nowadays and saw NOTHING about this until right now.

Never really followed this closely over on reddit … but it seems like people were happy to draw stuff they found fun … which is cool! The My LIttle Pony stuff, the Blahaj shark, star trek, diagonal rainbow, Marx, NIN, Arch Linux, a few instance tags … all up it seems fun and like it was a success! Kudos to the people that put this together!!
TIL lemmy had a canvas
Carrot farmers: “It ain’t much, but it’s honest work”
Happy to see Canada finally figured out their flag
Wha? We had a canvas??
I was trying to build our mascot all by myself but never got to 30% at best. Thanks to those who tried helping without any idea at first before completely screwing it up with some three-eyed monstrosity, lmao.
I’m sorry you couldn’t finish it, but…for whatever reason, this comment is the funniest thing I’ve seen and hardest I’ve laughed at anything all day, so thank you for that!
I’d like to thank the Germans for not covering up our N7 logo.
For those of you who didn’t know about this, or did know and can’t get enough community pixel art fun, there’s an eternal canvas on https://pixelcanvas.io/ (beware: it’s completely unmoderated, so prepare to see some unsavory stuff on there.
I ran a fork of pxls for this event and they have their own instance at https://pxls.space, and compared to pixelcanvas.io, is moderated (if that’s what you’re looking for) :)
Also for anyone unaware yourworldoftext.com and ourworldoftext.com are good canvas sites, the former having a rich history and many years of activity the latter being more featureful and open source
I was expecting the QR code to be a rick roll, but it wasn’t. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Edit: There were some Rick rolls in the first 24h, my day is slightly less ruined
I’m spewing i missed this. Next time I’ll be available i hope
