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!

I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event

If you have suggestions for future events, post them in a comment on this post, each suggestion as it’s own comment so people can vote on them

    The lack of vandalism gives me the heartwarming mental imagery of passionate people drawing the things they love while being kind and understanding to one another. It makes me unreasonably happy

      And all the cooperation that went into not messing up people’s art. I made a bisexual flag heart by the Aussie flag, and the bronies messaged me and said “we want to put something there but we will move your heart. Is that okay?” Which I thought was nice. Lots of people helping others too! Such a difference from the other place, and it reminds me why I moved to Lemmy.

      I really whish someone would have vandalised the facist grey wolf logo on the left though…

    I know it’s largely due to a smaller user base, and therefore smaller spread to overly popular personalities and groups, but this is so much nicer without the exceedingly large national flag patterns and huge streamer vanity projects.

      Great thing that there was much less vandalism. I was able to single-handedly put my work on there and didn’t have to fix up anything at all.

        Same, that was a nice surprise. I was worried that the green labyrinth would consume my build but it just started growing along the edges, so I helped it spread further afterwards :))

          I did most of the labyrinth! My original idea was that it would be more of an interstitial background linking other artwork together.

            Oh nice you’re here :D

            Love the idea, I had a lot of fun spreading it and being frustrated when I miscalculated the distance for the colors when getting near another build. Would you be willing to do it again next year / in the next event?

    this was so much fun~ Because of everything that happened on reddit I wasn’t able to enjoy r/place much. So I am really happy that it happened here and it gave me a reason to finally create an account ^^ I feel proud for what I was able to do on the canvas and also happy how the canvas turned out. I’m excited for next year~

    It’s over already!? I never even figured out how to find it, let alone contribute… :(

    It was an honor to place art with all of you <3 Thanks for bringing the fediverse community together with this event!

      You can get cleaner art if you just wipe out neighbours and replace with your own through bots. Working together and building together is on brand for Lemmy. I prefer human flawed art to robot perfect art.

      The canvas started slightly too big, but the end goal was epic considering.

    imho the canvas was a bit too large for the userbase. Sure it’s cool that everyone got a spot but I liked the thrill of the “fights” every time two projects tried to occupy the same space. But I guess the “friendly nature” of canvas kind of reflects the current state of lemmy so it’s okay :)
