Canvas Stats 2025 is now live!

You can view how you rank out of 638 users, see how many pixels you places, how many of each color, and generate an image of all the pixels you placed. You can also compare how you did this year vs previous years.

I am still working on a few more graphs/images for the overall canvas.

The site layout might load weird on mobile, my goal was to get the stats up first, then I will go back and fix the design of the site.

Let me know if there are any other stats you want to see on the site!

Important notes for the stats

  • ~~2024 had alts allowed which inflated the account numbers while 2025 doesnt allow them~~ edit: nevermind was a 2023 thing
  • the time interval 2024 was in was double the size of 2025 (but site was down a bit within that but still has more than 3 days of uptime vs 2025s 2 days)

I can't remember alts being explicitly allowed. If anything, there were credible reports by people being banned for that last year.

I remember them being allowed but I might be thinking of 2023 I guess

edit: yeah was 2023

Did the alts inflate the number THAT much? A third of the previous year seems incredibly smaller.

[–] Rose@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

Right, that doesn't explain it. People were banned for alts last year and there were obvious alts this year.

I looked at some of the available Lemmy stats before the event and found no active user growth across the main servers compared to before, but I still wonder what would properly explain the decrease of Canvas participants.
