It's getting closer!

Canvas is happening in a little less than 24 hours! Check time

When the event starts I'll be posting the link in the Matrix Space then in the Lemmy Community

To place pixels on the canvas you'll just need to type in the code the website will PM your Lemmy account. Due to how Lemmy PMs work, they cannot be received by other softwares unfortunately

Get your groups together! You can post pixel projects in this community to recruit others or by adding your room to the subspace in Matrix

Moderation If you are interested in helping moderate the canvas, send me a message on Matrix

Nah, don't make it about reddit

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I actually agree with you, and the fediverse doesn't need to be a copy of Reddit. Although this is copying Reddit. It wouldn't have the same cathartic effect here anyway, most of the users here now are over Reddit.

It’s a copy of a reddit gimmick. It was about reddit from its conception.

We took reddit and made it out own. Why not take their gimmick and make it our own too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Or we could have our own gimmicks?

Yeah but seriously, fuck Spez.

Interesting to see if pro Reddit stuff will happen, just to twist everything.

Bring on the 'spez is cool' memes

I suspect the biggest problem will be number of participants.. reddit has millions of users, so a small % of that makes for a lively place. Lemmy, not so much.. and the (IIRC) 1 pixel per minute limit might mean it's a bit of a slow burner.

How big will the canvas be i wonder

Can't sign in for some reason. I get the code sent to my account, but it just waits to authenticate after that and never completes
