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

Thank you for creating it! Honestly, I enjoyed this one more than r/place.
Great thing that there was much less vandalism. I was able to single-handedly put my work on there and didn't have to fix up anything at all.
Same, that was a nice surprise. I was worried that the green labyrinth would consume my build but it just started growing along the edges, so I helped it spread further afterwards :))
I did most of the labyrinth! My original idea was that it would be more of an interstitial background linking other artwork together.
Oh nice you're here :D
Love the idea, I had a lot of fun spreading it and being frustrated when I miscalculated the distance for the colors when getting near another build. Would you be willing to do it again next year / in the next event?

The lack of vandalism gives me the heartwarming mental imagery of passionate people drawing the things they love while being kind and understanding to one another. It makes me unreasonably happy
There was a little. Like "banana for scale" became "bananada🇨🇦 for scale". Sadly it got half-reverted at the end, which is the worst of birth worlds imho. And I had to protect the Canada flag from some vandalizing. Things that were possible to change with small single-person edits happened, like mangling the text in the Stardew Valley banner, or the magnificent bastard who put one red pixel in the bottom right corner of The Blue Zone.
I really whish someone would have vandalised the facist grey wolf logo on the left though..

Honestly, I find it wholesome that everyone got their little space to draw without much fighting. Perhaps making the canvas increase in size by request /user numbers to accommodate newcomers instead of forcing them to draw over someone else artwork is what would make this event unique compared to r/place.
It's over already!? I never even figured out how to find it, let alone contribute... :(
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@toast.ooo & in the Matrix space so you don't miss it next year
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
I'm gonna leave this comment here so I can flex on people saying I was at the first lemmy canvas in the future 🆒️😎
Much white space
Very ponies
Wow
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.
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.
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.
This was a lot of fun! I (briefly) participated in the first reddit place, but I didn't find it anywhere near as friendly or engaging as I found this. Thanks to whoever started Calvin after I finished Hobbes and needed to take a break, I never would've gotten both done without you!
The banana for scale had me chucking. That was good
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.
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 :)
Love that aphex twin always makes an appearance in these ❤️
This looks so polite, like everyone is nice to others. Just like lemmy.
Look at that Canada finally got the maple leaf correct on their flag.
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. :)
It was an honor to place art with all of you <3 Thanks for bringing the fediverse community together with this event!
Thanks for hosting and thanks for the fun ^^
that was so fun! I'm glad a lot of people joined in
lemmy.zip represent 😎
Lol NIN
So 1994
1994? Reznor and Ross are still dropping albums and doing a lot of great work. They made the soundtrack for the new TMNT movie, helped produce an amazing Halsey album in If I Can't Have Love I Want Power, and while The Trilogy has a lot of filler I liked the tracks on Add Violence.

Congrats everyone, the final canvas is awesome!!

Cudos to the guy who completed the south park characters . I am sorry I couldn't help after coloring cartman

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~
I like the native wheel with the pride maple leaf and Canada goose.
Also, way too many My Little Ponies lol
thank you grant and all devs/helpers!!!
I was sad to see it being over so soon. Thank you for creating this :)
That was so fun! Thanks for hosting this 😊
