Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!

I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.

This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating!

Event date: August 4th (12:00am EST) - 6th (11:59pm EST)

Future Events

I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!

I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event

If you have suggestions for future events, post them in a comment on this post, each suggestion as it’s own comment so people can vote on them

Few things to point out:

Go vegan!!! Yes!!!

Lot more My Little Pony than I was expecting...

Destiny community's in there

Love seeing all the Pokémon :)

Much white space

Very ponies

Wow

You can get cleaner art if you just wipe out neighbours and replace with your own through bots. Working together and building together is on brand for Lemmy. I prefer human flawed art to robot perfect art.

The canvas started slightly too big, but the end goal was epic considering.

I'm willing to bet that more people would have contributed if they knew where the damn page was to begin with.(Such as myself). It wasn't advertised very well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, like it or not, Lemmy is not as big as Reddit. One weekend wasn't long enough.

Then again, no bot armies was nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Love that aphex twin always makes an appearance in these ❤️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for creating it! Honestly, I enjoyed this one more than r/place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Great thing that there was much less vandalism. I was able to single-handedly put my work on there and didn't have to fix up anything at all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Same, that was a nice surprise. I was worried that the green labyrinth would consume my build but it just started growing along the edges, so I helped it spread further afterwards :))

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm gonna leave this comment here so I can flex on people saying I was at the first lemmy canvas in the future 🆒️😎

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Honestly, I find it wholesome that everyone got their little space to draw without much fighting. Perhaps making the canvas increase in size by request /user numbers to accommodate newcomers instead of forcing them to draw over someone else artwork is what would make this event unique compared to r/place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's over already!? I never even figured out how to find it, let alone contribute... :(

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That seemed to be a major hiccup this time around, getting the word out there

my plan for next year's is to give 30 days and 7 day notice before the event starts

make sure you're subscribed to [email protected] & in the Matrix space so you don't miss it next year

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

that was so fun! I'm glad a lot of people joined in

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The banana for scale had me chucking. That was good

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The lack of vandalism gives me the heartwarming mental imagery of passionate people drawing the things they love while being kind and understanding to one another. It makes me unreasonably happy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

There was a little. Like "banana for scale" became "bananada🇨🇦 for scale". Sadly it got half-reverted at the end, which is the worst of birth worlds imho. And I had to protect the Canada flag from some vandalizing. Things that were possible to change with small single-person edits happened, like mangling the text in the Stardew Valley banner, or the magnificent bastard who put one red pixel in the bottom right corner of The Blue Zone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I really whish someone would have vandalised the facist grey wolf logo on the left though..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I was sad to see it being over so soon. Thank you for creating this :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This was a lot of fun! I (briefly) participated in the first reddit place, but I didn't find it anywhere near as friendly or engaging as I found this. Thanks to whoever started Calvin after I finished Hobbes and needed to take a break, I never would've gotten both done without you!

I see Nijika-chan, I'm happy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Who is Nijika?

For the blind, she is their vision. For the deaf, she is their music. For the mute, she is their voice. For the anosmiac, she is their aroma. For the numb, she is their feeling. For the atrophied, she is their muscle.

For the starved, she is their sustenance. For the thirsty, she is their water. For the exhausted, she is their energy.

For the depressed, she is their happiness. For the disillusioned, she is their hope. For the pessimistic, she is their optimism.

For the disadvantaged, she is their champion. For the marginalised, she is their justice. For the oppressed, she is their salvation.

For the righteous, she is their symbol. For the enlightened, she is their muse. For the erudite, she is their education

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know it's largely due to a smaller user base, and therefore smaller spread to overly popular personalities and groups, but this is so much nicer without the exceedingly large national flag patterns and huge streamer vanity projects.

1994? Reznor and Ross are still dropping albums and doing a lot of great work. They made the soundtrack for the new TMNT movie, helped produce an amazing Halsey album in If I Can't Have Love I Want Power, and while The Trilogy has a lot of filler I liked the tracks on Add Violence.

Go give "I am not a woman I'm a god" a listen and tell me Reznor's influence isn't really obvious. It's basically Yassified "Closer".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks, that was interesting. Pretty different experience when there's very little contention for space.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey, I remember this username! You were spending your pixels on grieving us...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well you're kinda right, the "crypto" space as a whole is mostly driven by speculation and hype about price. We encourage neither, and focus on building private digital cash.

This is reflected in how our instance is run, zero user data is required for signup. To prevent bots we have a one time fee of about 1.5 USD. This also covers about half the expenses, the other half is provided by anonymous donations. The hosting is directly paid with Monero, making the instance and us a bit more independent from large corporations and especially payment providers.

Because you are here on lemmy, I figured you share some of those values, and that you might find use in private transactions. If you want become rich, you should look somewhere else.
