It was really been a blast to run this event, thank you all for participating!! ♥♥♥

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
Well, that’s their point. With a smaller population we want a smaller canvas.
Its mostly the bots that ruined place.
Hence why Lemmy should have a smaller canvas

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!
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.
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
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!!
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.

I’m spewing i missed this. Next time I’ll be available i hope
TIL lemmy had a canvas
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
Wha? We had a canvas??

I’d like to thank the Germans for not covering up our N7 logo.
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 think it went really well. Better than I expected.
As always, there was something new to think about, so even if I wasted a lot of time I still feel that I learned something from the experience.
Happy to see Canada finally figured out their flag
