hurrah, lets go! (I need my coffee)
Didn't expect so many ponies. 3 so far
I see 6.
Edit: oh 7 actually.
I am fully expecting it to be at least 1/3 ponies.
Yes, I have done this in previous years.
I think those are from hexbear. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong
Posting our tramp stamp here for posterity before it inevitably gets overwritten by yet another country flag π
Huh, surprised it remained until the end!
Oh shit this is on Lemmy too!!??! Hell yea!!
Has been for a couple years now!
Itβs time to do my part!
Seriously. Why are the bronies taking up so much space on the canvas? I'm counting 13 creations throughout the whole canvas.
Please let others make a non brony creation.
It's the nature of things like this to be proportional to the demographics of the userbase.
There's a lot of pony stuff because there's a lot of pony fans here, they can only ever take up their proportion of the canvas anyway so long as other people keep placing pixels, it's about as fair a system as you can get, every demographic gets as large a proportion as they can manage with the number of people they have.
whats the rules on bots? am 99% sure there is one just painting over other peoples artwork (it only fixes the colours. doesn't touch anything else right next to it)
even if bots are allowed, its no fun trying to do something cool and it being overrun with more than 6 blocks in a row right after you do something
bots arent allowed, if you point out the pixels mods can check if they actually are bots
Well. Too late. Still had more fun times than annoying times.
Yes because we have sooo much time to point out bots that never stop π
What is this dumb shit then?
I keep getting "session lost" when I enter the code.
Nevermind: took 5 tries, but finally logged in.
This is pretty cool! Curious to see what it will look like when it's all done. Go wild with it lemmy peeps!
Can't seem to login
edit: It worked after logging in on lemmy.world again (logged out, then logged back in)
Is lemmy.world not a valid domain?
seems to work for me
Took me a few tries and apparently itβs case sensitive
Huh, it doesnβt like my instance π’
sometimes it fails to determine if you're a user or not, not sure why atm
for most people trying again will fix the issue tho :)
I can't seem to get any DMs to or from piefed, which is what fediverse-auth uses
Tried with a couple platforms and no luck :/
check if your piefed account has pms from other instances enabled. afaik piefed.social had this disabled by default for some time during the nicole spamwave.
fyi also @[email protected]
it's in the main settings area:
Calling on any Liverpool fans if there are any on here: me and some other folks from lemmy.world/c/gunners want to make a tribute to Jota when we're done with our badge. Would love to work with y'all to sort something out, given he never played for us.
Does GoToSocial accounts not work? Couldnt Auth. I never got the message. Tried a few times to auth.
great question, haven't tested gotosocial accounts theoretically it should work as it's sending raw Note and ChatMessage objects, but I will test it π
The site loads for me and after a few seconds I get a blank page... how do I deal with it?
Canvas size seems too small. What is it 400x 400 pixels? I didnt actually count accurately, but that's like 150 32x32 size canvases. Hardly seems like enough. If its even as much as 500x500 I don't imagine its even possible for more than 250 accounts to contribute assuming a generous contribution of just 32x32 pixels per account...
Edit: just realized there's pixel coordinates which confirms a 500x500 sized canvas. Canvas@toast has over 700 users.
Nah, I feel like the size was perfect. Maybe a 600x600 couldβve been fine too, but nothing bigger.
Are we trying to be reddit?
Maybe a little, but online art collab space isn't a reddit exclusive thing.
Are you implying Reddit mods would be hunky dory with this?
Haha that's awesome
The only reddit thing here is the flags going across the canvas
It is a fediverse-wide thing technically and this is also the 3rd year of the event
Here's 2023 and 2024
