Wait we had a canvas and Germany dominated it somehow?!

WolfhoundRO ,

They always have been

Jeanschyso ,

This canvas kinda looks like prototypical Finns waiting for the bus

A lot of snow between the pixels

TIL lemmy had a canvas

Jourei ,

Wha? We had a canvas??

Psythik ,

I can believe that it’s over already. I wanted to contribute but could never find the damn page…

grant OP ,

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 !canvas & in the Matrix space so you don’t miss it next year

Psythik ,

I’m confused by your link. It just leads me to a page to download yet another Lemmy app. I don’t want to do that. I’m happy with Infinity and Voyager.

blindjezebel , (edited )

~~I’ve been switching between Jerboa and Liftoff, and now you’ve had this issue, I’ve downloaded Voyager. When I click on !canvas in either of the three, the community opens within the app I’m using. Bug maybe? In Voyager, try searching

[email protected]

I managed to get to it that way. Hope it helps for now ^.^~~

Edit: NVM, I misunderstood instructions! I think they didn’t mean to just sub to the community, but we actually need to use a chat-style app (the matrix space?). Not lemmy?

Haven’t had this happen with Sync though. I guess proprietary ad-supported clients have the budget to make QoL improvements faster. Although, I do love Voyager as well!

blindjezebel ,

Ohhh man, I’m out of the loop, and I thought I was being helpful earlier, but I wasn’t. What’s the matrix space? It’s not the federation?

Am I getting this right that it’s like self-hosted email, but for chat? Or do we have to pick an instance to host the chat log? How do people normally go about picking? How does matrix space tie into the canvas community on toast ooo?

Surely there’s a Eli5 page or community for this matrix-space? Does matrix space go by any other name?

Thank you for your time! I already love where this is going, but don’t wanna wet my socks just yet and sign up for many things willy nilly in case I lose track :0

grant OP ,

No worries man, it’s a definite change from how the internet currently exists (i’ll make a landing page explaining all these in more detail in the coming days)

The first link, !canvas, will open up the community (the Lemmy equivalent of Reddit’s “subreddits”). Being subscribed to that community will allow posts to the community to show up in your home feed

Matrix

Matrix is a chat protocol that is a federated live chat system, the Matrix protocol is not ActivityPub (what Lemmy, Mastodon and others run on) it runs on it’s own protocol. The most popular client for Matrix is Element. You can host your own homeserver using Synapse, but it’s highly recommended to use their main instance (matrix.org – it’s also the default option when you open Element in browser).

Matrix is setup in a way that you don’t have to worry about missing old messages when you are on a new instance. When you join a new room (“channel”) in Matrix, you will automatically be able to read old chat messages by backfilling old messages. Matrix also runs a very convenient website to share rooms with other people (matrix.to – which is linked in my original comment) that will open a list of apps to open the room with (no vendor lock in).

Matrix is designed in a way were it doesn’t matter what instance you are registered under. No matter the instance, you’ll be able to read the chat, history and participate in live conversation.

Hopefully this cleaned some stuff up for you and like I said at the start of the post, I’ll be making a landing page also explaining this stuff to help other people navigate this as well :)

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.

AlecSadler ,

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!

Furbag ,

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 pixelcanvas.io (beware: it’s completely unmoderated, so prepare to see some unsavory stuff on there.

grant OP ,

I ran a fork of pxls for this event and they have their own instance at pxls.space, and compared to pixelcanvas.io, is moderated (if that’s what you’re looking for) :)

@Smokeydope@lemmy.world avatar

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

Thanks for this, I had fun with it!

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).

LossLeader ,

Love seeing Konqi on there. What a cutie.

I’d like to thank the Germans for not covering up our N7 logo.

What?? When was this? Aw, man!

When’s the next one?

grant OP , (edited )

It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!

Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community (!canvas) and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!

UFO64 ,

You can make a federated link by going !canvas rather than posting the link, makes it much easier for users to join from LW!

grant OP ,

fixed 👍

Thanks! I subscribed, and will hopefully see it on the feed next time haha

Bongles ,

Why does Germany always do that line on these canvas things? Does somebody have a bot or something to help with it?

lea ,

PlaceDE is a huge community and there’s probably a lot of bottled up desire to put the flag since it’s socially frowned upon to hoist it outside of football cups.

salient_one ,
@salient_one@lemmy.villa-straylight.social avatar

frowned upon

Really? Why?

@Rbon@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Wait, there’s an osu! community on lemmy?! Where?!

stebo02 ,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

There probably isn’t but whenever a pixel canvas like r/place releases, an Osu logo spontaneously emerges.

drbluefall ,

The osu logo was one of the first things on the canvas lol

JGrffn ,

It’s osugenesis, happens by itself, pay no mind to it. Side effects of the simulation.
