Thank you so much for preparing and running an event like this, and happy birthday 🥳
This will forever be recorded as one of the most exciting events to participate in for my whole life. I’ve never been this happy and excited before. Great job! 😃

In addition, I’m quoting from what I wrote in the News & Updates section of my generator hub page:

But, in the end, I was able to put all of them together, a piece of history of my entire generator-making journey, into a part of a large collaborative canvas event! It was also really fun and I was able to interact with people from across the entire Fediverse, and it was also the very first time I experienced such things like that.

✨ Power Generator Manager (original)

🌟🧩 ••• 25.0k views!!! ••• 🚀🔥 A generator hub page, a home for all my generators and everything.

Should we add a perchance logo again this year?
i still have some pixels from day 1 on there!!

That was a truly amazing and fun event, even with the occasional hiccup and downtime phase.

Thanks for hosting and have a great Birthday!

Oh hey, my poppy survived. And someone added a border. Neat.

Had a blast as well! First time doing something like this. Really happy how my pieces turned out.

Thanks so much for organizing this event!

Nice board we made folks

And here i was thinking there wasn’t an active Sounders instance here! Thanks for the work put in, the whole thing is neat!

Thank you so much to you for making this happen, thanks to the other contributors and mods for helping to keep things running, and to all the participants!

Thank a lot for hosting this event, it was very fun, i enjoyed drawing.

And happy birthday to you ! :D

Mmm, It’s not completly the final canva, at the last minute i drew 2 horses ? 😊

I was genuinely shocked at how well this went, especially considering it’s the first year. Reddit has done this three times now (four if you count the Adobe Create event) and this blew all of them out of the water.
[2023] Thanks for joining! - toast.ooo

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!

[Off-topic] I’m almost certain that you confused my glass of wine with vandalism. Near the text of repair rights, in the front of the critter.

Sorry, to be honest I was just trying to keep it from getting buried so that it would remain fairly visible. But maybe you could have tried to message me with the template then when you’ve seen me blank it. I don’t know how large it was supposed to get.

It didn’t look like a heart, flower nor animal so I removed it.

No problem - it happens! And I kind of got why you were doing it.

It was my fault for not communicating it properly, as you highlighted. That was near the end.

This is the second year :)

Congratulations on an excellent event, and I look forward to next year’s. The codebase should be more settled then and hopefully you’ll manage to get a decent amount of sleep, unlike this time.

Also, happy birthday!

Thank you, grant, and everyone who worked on this! I had fun.

I’d also like to thank the innumerable people who helped others out to complete their drawings - like The Dark Side of the Moon cover prism, or the Debian spiral.

I’m extra happy with how the Mander face and Megumin turned out. And yes, Megumin’s feet kept me awake a whole night.

Many weebs have sleepless nights over their waifu’s feet

Many weebs have sleepless nights over their waifu’s feet

True that.

(To be frank I never understood Megumin’s appeal, but since people were posting anime stuff, I joined in. To each their own, I guess? Plus KonoSuba is fun.)

I think the most discussion and on canvas changes to megumin were over her feet.
IIRC the discussion was about redoing the second take of her feet for some depth.
Thank you so much for running this amazing event and dealing with the difficulties along the way. Happy birthday! 🎉
Sadly “someone” had to cheat and AFTER the Event Finished and couldnt be edited anymore remove multiple Items and Pride flags, still some hidden ones left, apart of that nice event :)
You mean removal of the pedo flag?
All the pride flags I knew about are still up? Oh except for the one that was covering the Palestine flag.
The only thing that was removed after the canvas freeze was the map flag
For the unaware, some people use “map” as an acronym for “minor-attracted person”. Which is an extremely weird thing to build your identity upon imho. Just get therapy or whatever, I won’t judge you if you don’t abuse another person, but why would anyone grow attached to a personal leaning that will only bring pain upon themselves or others?
Congrats Everyone and thank yooou! :3
Thank you for organizing!
Thank you to everyone who was involved in the creation of this, it was a lot of fun and I can’t wait for the next one. It’s crazy how much nicer it was compared to the one from that other site. I placed a little doodle on the first day not expecting it to survive the night because it was in the path of another large piece. But when I checked the next day, someone had actually moved it to the side. That never would’ve happened on r/place.
Oh were you the person that made the little head above the nato flag?
No, but apparently this happened more than once lol
It was similar for me! I was bored and put an UwU down on the canvas at the beginning of the event and it survived almost until the end! People kept repairing it too and put the rainbow road below without destroying it. In the end the space got repurposed for a cute pony which is for the best x3
I’m very surprised how long it lasted though! This community is so nice!
Yeah, we added it to our template when we moved Trixie over. Towards the end of the event it was the only place we could find to put Ocellus.
Same with me. I put a little heart in the middle left corner, and then went away on a trip. I was completely shocked to see it was still there for the final image. And love that it was worked into the Android logo. Thanks to all!!
Is the thumbnail version going to be the final official version? It’s from hours before the end.
It was updated, but it seems Lemmy instances with pictrs enabled keep the original cache. You can still click on the link in the official LemmyUI though.
That’s a good observation. The thumbnail is indeed updated and at a higher res at toast.ooo/post/4077161 compared to lemmy.world for example.

Huge thanks to grant for organising this huge event! This year’s canvas was 100% better than 2023.

It was amazing to see all the pretty things people came up with.

Are you saying you were only 19~20 when you coded and deployed this? Holy shit, I have done web stuff before but I couldn’t get myself to do that even if someone paid me.
In the last timelapse I saw that some pixels were missing during the blackout. We continued placing pixels on the canvas while we only had that white screen bug. So some pixels are missing which were blindly placed.
THIS is how I find out there was a canvas event… :(
Lots of people found about it this way last year as well.
I did find out a couple of days earlier, but for the love of God, I couldn’t make any sense out if what was happening. What is a canvas? How do people contribute to it? Why? For what reason? What’s its goal? What does it mean?
It’s r/place but on the fediverse!

It’s a fediverse wide collaborative art project!. You follow the link, log in with your fediverse account (you provide your username, they dm you a code, you use that to login) and then you can start placing pixels to create your art. The purpose in my opinion is two fold: one, making art is fun in and of itself! And two: it’s fun to participate in a community event. The whole thing is practically an exercise in decorum and human nature, and will others graffiti your art piece or cover it up, or add to it?

I added three sprites. A buzzy beetle from Paper Mario, a jujimo from Stardew Valley, and a triforce from Zelda. No one disturbed my pieces, and a stranger worked on my triforce with me, without ever having to speak about it. It was thrilling! Somewhere else in the world, a stranger worked on a little bit of sunshine along side me and with me. It’s possible they don’t even speak English!. Very cool!

Sounds fun and quite the social experiment! I’m glad you enjoyed it
didn’t the one from the other site turn out to be mostly automated bots?
Hello webizen, notifying you about the canvas so that it doesn’t happen again :)
noooooo i decided to check lemmy too late (thank you for notifying me though, appreciated)
Yay, my pfp’s at the top next to the center (the right edge before they added another canvas)!
Glad My contributions made it into the final after all
