Yeah, I go through and hide things every once in awhile by looking though communities in the database with some queries
BBC is hidden since i just went though and hid them. Sub and youll see all the posts. Hackaday isnt fetching posts looks like (did anyone sub previously?)
The last one should be scientificamerican instead of scientificamerica and seems to be functioning but hidden so sub and youll see the posts
Federation seems to be working, just that one specific community broke for some reason
All these communities fall under the realm of things I hide from the main feeds though since its majority bot content so at some point youll have to subscribe to see the posts
You shouldnt need to platform there, you can just walk up to the dragon and it will continue
Should be posting these daily for awhile
There was one open a bit ago but its now closed. tldr the swap to Bun from node broke things on some operating systems
The bot works on an opt in system, mods have to approve it for communities otherwise id be violating the lemmy.world bot guidelines
I remember there was some equivalent action but dont know for sure what it was since I didnt use mobile
Oh huh I didnt even realize you could pan like that, guess one of those has to be removed and moved to something else unless its detected between hold and tap
scrolling the scroll wheel scrolls the map and clicking down on the wheel over a pixel color picks
The only thing that was removed after the canvas freeze was the map flag
You could middle click to color pick in the event
You can see the final canvas here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/
We managed to finish our design pretty quickly and there was also the godot logo, the lattice pattern to the right, the cable leading from the monitor to the outlet up near one of the other designs, and everything else people helped with!
Ill be prepping for the next canvas close to when that happens (next year) and if anyone else wants to help out with the design you can help plan it out in the event channel on the discord/matrix
If anyone wants to help out with developing new features for the next time canvas occurs the projects open source. https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase
As part of an update that was just pushed you can now enable "New Pixel Pulses" which will make a little circle for a bit surrounding any new pixels that get placed onto the canvas
You can use this to see where activity is happening on the canvas
This was originally made as a userscript by soda_cans and was adapted by me into the actual codebase
Enjoy :)
Currently on the canvas theres a bunch of blank space remaining. This is both due to people using the blank space as part of their design and due to some areas not having backgrounds yet!
(The green shade in the attached image is the blank canvas filter, you can find it in settings to see whats blank space and whats white)
As we head into the last part of canvas if you have any spare pixels you dont know what to do with you can drop some to help out some of the backgrounds
Some example locations:
Bi flag (around y=437)
Gray lattice (around 472, 461)
Whitespace in OSU (around 313, 265)
Void (around 709, 218)
Foliage (around 581, 493)
Yellow (around 74, 469)
Blue and Teal (around 271, 201)
White stripes in the upper flags (around 350, 46)
If you have any others post them in a comment
If a community is shown with proper data its working and probably hidden (the one thats broken, nytimes, doesnt have correct data since its missing the stats and mod list)
But yeah lemmy has terrible UX for hidden communities atm
