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

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

Master ,

Its mostly the bots that ruined place.

glibg10b ,

Hence why Lemmy should have a smaller canvas

Erk ,

Well, that’s their point. With a smaller population we want 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.

    grant OP ,

    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) and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!

    Next canvas there will be a fat flag of Russia and no one will stop me :)

    lovesickoyster ,

    i never heard of russia, is it a dish or something?

    Rose ,

    Let’s find out.

    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.

    Thank you for organising this!

    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!!

    Befernafardofo ,

    So many my little pony drawings! It’s always cool to see this, hoping for another one next year, when the community will be bigger!

    elbarto777 ,

    so many

    Too many.

    Thank you for an eye-opening experience.

    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?

    Blaze ,

    Same here, I saw several announcements on Fediverse communities and elsewhere

    grant OP ,

    I posted here about this exact question already, but it was very difficult to get instance admin’s attention 😅

    I’m an instance admin and I’ve never heard of this matrix room before. Did you try advertising it on the official matrix Space for Lemmy?

    grant OP ,

    I didn’t advertise it in the general project chat, I sent it in the general admin chat

    my reasoning was to “surprise” the general users of lemmy but still give admins plenty of time to prepare for it

    if you’re an instance admin, there is a Matrix room specifically for instance admins & canvas here

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

    elbarto777 ,

    Shit. I knew about it since day one. I guess I’m spending way too much time in the fediverse.
