Hey all,

I’ve got an exciting thing to announce today, Canvas — Lemmy’s r/Place!

We need to get our own traditions over here in the Threadiverse, why not start off with our own r/Place

This weekend, we will open up a canvas to all Lemmy users, each user will be able to place 1 pixel every minute. This event will last 72 hours, starting midnight EST on the 4th and ending at 11:59pm EST on the 6th

Some instances that are joining in:

Join the Lemmy Community [!canvas@toast.ooo](/c/canvas@toast.ooo)

Join the Matrix Space #lemmy-canvas:matrix.org

I like the idea but… isn’t it a bit too early?

A lot of people in here come from Reddit, and r/place happened just a week ago. I’m guessing a lot of people won’t participate due to burnout.

I was thinking the exact opposite, people might’ve not joined Reddit’s but still want to do an r/place-like thing

With r/place still on people’s mind I think it would have more activity then if we waited

Would users authenticate through lemmy? Any chance you could stand up a sandbox/staging canvas ahead of time to test that out? Or is it just a totally separate authentication?

The plan for this is having a bot account send a code to your Lemmy account to verify your identity

So no need for multiple accounts 🎉

so will it be on an extra website?
And would it be possible that users from other fediverse platforms like mastodon could participate?

[-] grant@toast.ooo 4 points 1 year ago

It will be run on a separate website

As of right now only Lemmy accounts can login, but other fediverse platforms may have the possibility to be added 👀
