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 😅
Shit. I knew about it since day one. I guess I’m spending way too much time in the fediverse.
In hindsight a smaller canvas might have made it a bit busier, but I’ll tell you what: I’m impressed the effort has been translated over from rPlace. Run this one again in a year or so and I can imagine it being way more popular.
Yeah, I’m seeing a lot of white. r/place loses all the white within minutes
It’s not like Reddit has over 1000x more users than Lemmy or anything
Its mostly the bots that ruined place.
Hence why Lemmy should have a smaller canvas
deleted by creator
They were more proactive at blocking bots.
That happens on Reddit, no?
I thought that was disabled this time around, but I haven’t participated myself.
I do plan on running one next year, possibly with a smaller canvas
but with the amount of people interested after the event concluded, we might stick with the same size for next year, but who knows right now 😉
Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community (!canvas@toast.ooo) 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!

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
Happy to see Canada finally figured out their flag
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
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!
Kinda disappointed that Nyancat wasn’t at the end of that rainbow.
I love it, it’s beautiful, I don’t mind the white space, everyone had enough to do their own things, it was mostly peaceful, and I’m enjoying seeing my contribution (and being able to actually contribute in the first place).
Thank you for organising this!
