About us

๐Ÿค— Thanks for joining our little instance here, located in Oregon. The idea is to have a fast, stable instance and allow users to subscribe to whatever content they want from here.

๐Ÿ˜Ž We dont block any other instances. We will keep it that way unless it becomes a moderation problem.

๐Ÿค  We will be around for a very long time, so you dont have to worry about us shutting down the instance anytime soon. We like performance and stability in our servers, and will upgrade the instance when its needed.

๐Ÿฅน Make sure to join a lot of remote communities to get a good feed going. How to do that is explained here.

You should start using one of these ASAP since the web browser user interface is quite ugly, even with themes.

The Human Shader (humanshader.com)

A GLSL shader computed painstakingly by hand by almost 2000 people

This website is pretty cool. It's a shader algorithm with the goal of rendering an image pixel by pixel, but it relies entirely on human calculation, with no computers and no calculators. Claim a pixel, and follow the instructions to calculate the Red Green and Blue values of the pixel you have claimed.

All of the pixels have currently been claimed, but they do expire after a while, so just wait around a bit and you might be able to contribute!

"1542 different people have been doing math by hand for the last 49 hours, completing the first mathematical painting (shader) ever made with human brain power alone, rather than by a machine! If you know how to add and multiply, you can join us!"
