(i wasn't clear on the stripe page that the fediverse handles would be public, so this is a placeholder until i get confirmation they all want it public or not)

Database Dump

the old system for pixel placement logs was flawed, and someone suggested the brilliant idea of just publishing the database dump, it already has all the information anyway

no ip addresses, or ban logs only pixel placements (with username), pixel moderation logs and palette settings

the event has concluded! thank you all for participating!

this has been incredibly fun to run, as it was last year (although there was a bit more hiccups this time around)

⚠ Crossposters: link back to this post as it will be updated with more information ⚠

Event date: July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC til ~~July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours)~~ July 16th @ 4am UTC (72 hours + 24 hours) (it was extended due to a massive performance issue that caused major downtime)

Future events

I'm planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned 👀

If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)

Supporting the project 💜💜💜

I have spent a little over 6 months completely rebuilding Canvas from the ground up to support future features, and i would love to work on more fediverse events

poster sales

posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, follow the Mastodon account or send an email to hello@sc07.company 💜

https://sc07.shop

the shop site will also include stickers for the following instances:

mastodon.world
lemmy.world
blahaj.zone
toot.community
toast.ooo
Canvas 2024

✨ I wanted to have the shop setup before the event ending, but i couldn't get it setup quick enough unfortunately

EDIT: Shop is now live!

direct donations

Donating via Stripe is the best way to donate directly

contributing to the code

canvas is open-source and is on a self-hosted gitlab instance at https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas

at time of writing; the gitlab server randomly restarts due to resource limits

Timelapses

i need to rewrite the timelapse script as some people pointed out some weirdness with the other ones (that's also what delayed this post by almost 3 hours)

Data

Database dump: (48mb) https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/canvas-stripped.sql.txt

Contains pixel placements, canvas moderation actions, and palette colors no IP addresses

chat.fediverse.events

This will stay up as long as i can keep it running for, i'll make some improvements eventually as well

tools (like a canvas atlas)

if anyone is wanting to build something for canvas, i'd be willing to host the project & give it a subdomain of .fediverse.events

just send me a matrix dm, a dm on discord (grahhnt) or an email hello@sc07.company

Special thanks

thank you to the moderators that helped me this year, even with how stressful it was 🔨

3 HOURS!!

https://canvas.fediverse.events

i would also like to know what countries have participated this year!

i'm planning to sell canvas posters to help fund the project and any future events i would love to run

stickers for the following instances will also be sold to support them:

mastodon.world
toot.community
blahaj.zone
lemmy.world
toast.ooo
Canvas 2024

i've spent a little over half the last year to rewrite canvas from the ground up and it's been very very fun running the event so far, stressful, but fun :)

if you're interested in getting a print, drop your country below so i can calculate everything and make sure it's available

if everything goes to plan the prints should be available after the event ends 🤞

No size change as a result of the polls

68% of the canvas has pixels on it, lets try to get it filled!!

24h - 72h Timelapses:

YouTube: https://youtu.be/diwHyJTvb0k
Raw File: https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/24-72.mp4

go place pixels!

Is anything planned to do something like the r/place atlas for canvas? by grant in c/canvas@toast.ooo

[-] grant@toast.ooo 33 points 4 months ago

this would be very cool

once the event concludes i'll be releasing a log file with all the pixel placements for other visualizations

if whoever wants to tackle this would like, i might be able to get it as a subdomain of .fediverse.events

(also posting this here as i mentioned it in our matrix room)

i'm not going to explicitly banning threads from contributing but i also won't be testing with it (as i don't plan to register on threads)

if enough people are against it i might change my plan though 👍

Your ISP can see that you used tor but not what for

I have printed a Canvas poster. by grant in c/canvas@toast.ooo

[-] grant@toast.ooo 23 points 1 year ago

that was a major hiccup this time around i wasn't expecting the event to be this large and this wanted, but i do have plans to market it a bit better this year

if you use Mastodon or Matrix check out this post

Nothing to see here, just join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance. Not a good look for the fediverse by grant in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[-] grant@toast.ooo 199 points 1 year ago

The instances page at join-lemmy is completely automated

This definitely needs to get pushed to the two main devs for lemmy as they control that website

Lemmy Canvas 2023 has ended! by grant in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[-] grant@toast.ooo 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!

Make sure you're in the Lemmy community (!canvas@toast.ooo) and the Matrix space so you don't miss it!

Suggestions for Canvas 2024 (or any future events) by grant in c/canvas@toast.ooo

[-] grant@toast.ooo 25 points 1 year ago

the pxls backend was spammed by reports done by the software itself (such as "account logged in with ip shared with 2,000 other users" due to a bug related to reverse proxy settings)

a lot of them we just couldn't get to because the aforementioned bug created 60+ pages of reports with no bulk delete or filter options

next year's system will be a lot better setup to avoid these types of issues happening tho!

I sent a couple messages into the Lemmy Instance admins Matrix room, but a lot of instances ignored the posts I made 😅

lemmy.world was voting internally on when to announce it but the event would've been over before the internal voting concluded they are interested in joining the next event tho 👀

and to any Lemmy instance admins reading this, join the admin room so you can be aware of the next one :)

who is the most prominant community on the canvas? by grant in c/canvas@toast.ooo

[-] grant@toast.ooo 33 points 1 year ago

as far as I'm aware, this is the first r/place-like event for Lemmy

exapsy might be talking about Reddit's r/place from last year tho

You outdid reddit by grant in c/canvas@toast.ooo

[-] grant@toast.ooo 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I apologize, there has been some miscommunication to the moderators and lack of judgment on my part

I did not expect canvas to get this big this fast, I will talk to the moderators and make sure everyone is on the same page to prevent things like this from happening

Since the video doesn’t auto-play and it doesn’t fall under, what I would consider NSFL, I will be reverting your ban, I apologize for the misunderstanding

message me on matrix if you have anymore questions!
