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! ♥

Thank you for creating it! Honestly, I enjoyed this one more than r/place.
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?
Yeah, it was fun!
Do you think “LabyrinthineCanvas” would be a fitting name for a community to organize? Well, if you’d be in for a community at all, could also just simply start it again next time ^^
I don’t know if there’s already a convention for naming Canvas-related communities, but it seems like it would make more sense for them to start with “Canvas” so they all sort together in peoples’ community lists.
Way less vandalism. I noticed the don’t got erased on the “don’t that on me” and I think that’s now gone entirely, probably because it’s now associated with Tea Partiers in the states.
Same here!
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.
Being able to actually differentiate things at a glance is nice too

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~
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.
That was the best part of the reddit place events as well, the diplomacy. Groups will help each other out to garner goodwill, it’s the only way protect your area. There was something so fun about sliding into the DMs of a big group like the Germans, representing my group panicking about being under attack by some twitch streamer, then they might say, sorry we’re defending somewhere else. Another time your trying to rally your team to go off and defend some other cause you care about. It’s a simulation of world politics and it’s beautiful.
That didn’t happen as much with the Lemmy event because space wasn’t scarce.
It did happen, but yeah, not as much. But the cool thing was, but for a few exceptions, people didn’t overwrite others’ art for malice or lols. And even the Amoogus played nice!
There was a little. Like “banana for scale” became “bananada🇨🇦 for scale”. Sadly it got half-reverted at the end, which is the worst of birth worlds imho. And I had to protect the Canada flag from some vandalizing. Things that were possible to change with small single-person edits happened, like mangling the text in the Stardew Valley banner, or the magnificent bastard who put one red pixel in the bottom right corner of The Blue Zone.
bananada🇨🇦
My goal there was always Bananada. Someone else wrote the “for scale”, but I figured that was cool.
I do wish that whoever edited it near the end while I was sleeping had followed through and removed the “a” as well. I agree that this is the worst of both worlds.
Edit: I just noticed that the same guy who removed the bottom half of the d also added a pixel to one of the "n"s, so now they don’t even match. Ugh.
Oh, my bad. I don’t know if “da” was finished first and I just missed it or “for scale” was finished first, but I thought I saw “banana for scale” first and assumed the “da” was added later by somebody else.
I really whish someone would have vandalised the facist grey wolf logo on the left though…

My little frog survived!Yay!
❤️
I wanna search and find that little guy every time a new canvas is up now :3
(Do you know !goblincore@lemmy.blahaj.zone yet?)
This looks so polite, like everyone is nice to others. Just like lemmy.
To be fair, our work was heavily griefed by a user running 6 accounts, then almost erased by a moderator before they changed their mind. Then there was more trolling and fighting in two places. Other than that, it was fun and significantly less chaotic than r/place.
It was an honor to place art with all of you <3 Thanks for bringing the fediverse community together with this event!
Damn, I missed it :/
Seems much nicer than the Reddit one
Doesn’t it? The Reddit one is always such a mess
Streamers ruined r/place. The first year was the only good one.
It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!
Make sure you’re in subscribed to this community and the Matrix space so you don’t miss next years!

Was my first time participating in something like this and after hearing what a clusterfuck r/place was.
This was surprisingly fun, more time would be great, though.
Honestly, I didn’t expect my name to stay (“Rin”, bottom left ish inside the green box). I made it expecting it to be quickly overwritten, but people just went around it.
Someone even gave me a shadow. :)
Look at that Canada finally got the maple leaf correct on their flag.
Thank you for running this, grant. Appreciate all the hard work.
A very small percentage of folks will always whine about some grievance or point out what they feel should have been done differently, but 99.9% of everyone who engaged had a great time, thanks to you, and you won’t hear anything from most of them.
I got covid for the first time as of last Friday, so we’re self isolating and lying low, so this gave me something to focus on and do for long stretches, and it genuinely made a big difference.
I was able to draw my old high school notebook comic character Block Head at 2 o’clock on the Firefox logo completely unimpeded by griefers or vandals. It was really nice. Thanks again.
It’s been real fun!
Few things to point out:
Go vegan!!! Yes!!!
Lot more My Little Pony than I was expecting…
Destiny community’s in there
Love seeing all the Pokémon :)
Vaushs sadly is not
