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

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.

Being able to actually differentiate things at a glance is nice too

this was so much fun~ Because of everything that happened on reddit I wasn’t able to enjoy r/place much. So I am really happy that it happened here and it gave me a reason to finally create an account ^^ I feel proud for what I was able to do on the canvas and also happy how the canvas turned out. I’m excited for next year~

My little frog survived!
- CaptainBlagbird ( @CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English4•1 year ago
I wanna search and find that little guy every time a new canvas is up now :3
(Do you know !goblincore@lemmy.blahaj.zone yet?)

It was an honor to place art with all of you <3 Thanks for bringing the fediverse community together with this event!
- Samsy ( @Samsy@lemmy.ml ) 25•1 year ago
This looks so polite, like everyone is nice to others. Just like lemmy.
- iByteABit [he/him] ( @iByteABit@lemm.ee ) 22•1 year ago
Damn, I missed it :/
Seems much nicer than the Reddit one
- Wenchette ( @Wenchette@lemmy.ml ) 10•1 year ago
Doesn’t it? The Reddit one is always such a mess
- greenbean ( @greenbean@lemmy.ml ) 11•1 year ago
Streamers ruined r/place. The first year was the only good one.
It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!
Make sure you’re in subscribed to this community and the Matrix space so you don’t miss next years!

Look at that Canada finally got the maple leaf correct on their flag.
- peter_pangolin ( @peter_pangolin@toast.ooo ) English20•1 year ago
It’s been real fun!
- Ben Hur Horse Race ( @JudahBenHur@lemm.ee ) 19•1 year ago
Thank you for running this, grant. Appreciate all the hard work.
A very small percentage of folks will always whine about some grievance or point out what they feel should have been done differently, but 99.9% of everyone who engaged had a great time, thanks to you, and you won’t hear anything from most of them.
I got covid for the first time as of last Friday, so we’re self isolating and lying low, so this gave me something to focus on and do for long stretches, and it genuinely made a big difference.
I was able to draw my old high school notebook comic character Block Head at 2 o’clock on the Firefox logo completely unimpeded by griefers or vandals. It was really nice. Thanks again.
- Rin ( @Rin@lemm.ee ) 18•1 year ago
Honestly, I didn’t expect my name to stay (“Rin”, bottom left ish inside the green box). I made it expecting it to be quickly overwritten, but people just went around it.
Someone even gave me a shadow. :)
- I Cast Fist ( @ICastFist@programming.dev ) English17•1 year ago
Much white space
Very ponies
Wow
- Nath ( @Nath@aussie.zone ) 13•1 year 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.
- CrypticCoffee ( @CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml ) 6•1 year ago
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.
- Psythik ( @Psythik@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year ago
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.
- haganbmj ( @haganbmj@lemmy.ml ) 16•1 year ago
Thanks, that was interesting. Pretty different experience when there’s very little contention for space.
- itsmect ( @itsmect@monero.town ) 3•1 year ago
Hey, I remember this username! You were spending your pixels on grieving us…
- haganbmj ( @haganbmj@lemmy.ml ) 10•1 year ago
Cause crypto is shit.
- itsmect ( @itsmect@monero.town ) 4•1 year ago
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.
- JPAKx4 ( @JPAKx4@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•1 year ago
It’s not crypto, it’s the people that use it
- itsmect ( @itsmect@monero.town ) 4•1 year ago
Understandable sentiment, I cant stand the crypto bros either. For me, it’s not about lambos or whatever, I just wanna be able to buy stuff without paypal, mastercard and anybody else tracking my every step.
On the canvas we made it very clear from the beginning to not damage surrounding art and pushed for a creative use of the area (besides the coins, but come on, almost everybody has some flag or logo on the canvas)
- Resonosity ( @Resonosity@lemmy.ca ) 14•1 year ago
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 :)
- JesusTheCarpenter ( @JesusTheCarpenter@feddit.uk ) 13•1 year ago
I use Arch btw
