Canvas — A collaborative annual pixel placing event for the Fediverse!
Thank you! These are interesting.
For suggestions, I think it would be interesting to know how many pixels out of those I placed contributed to the final image (meaning the pixel was not overwritten at any point). Maybe you could even have another leaderboard based on that?
Great work! The stats are very cool to look at. Interesting to see this year gathered only 1/3rd the user count compared to 2024.
Important notes for the stats
Did the alts inflate the number THAT much? A third of the previous year seems incredibly smaller.
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.
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
...I RANKED 10TH? Holy fuck I really needed to touch some grass!
And damn, those pixel maps are great.
This was fun and my first time participating. Just helped color some stuff in a bit.
Good times. Final product was fantastic.
Thanks for the site!
Btw I’m on mobile Safari and it loads pretty fine, not sure if other browsers have issues with it though.
