Feel free to use this thread to discuss ideas and otherwise coordinate.

What is it?

You can sign in with almost any Fediverse account (ex. your lemmy account, mastodon account, etc.). Afterwards, you will be able to place a pixel every 30 seconds or so. By working together, people make (and break) different designs.

You shouldn't need to give away your login information to authenticate. For me, the system asked for my instance and username, then sent me a message with the verification code.

What should we do?

I don't think we have any templates yet, so you're open to suggest a Canada wide design, or smaller specific ones. In the meantime, just have fun :)

Template on this comment here:

https://lemmy.ca/comment/10330307

edit: ~~We may need a better template than this one. It doesn't quite align with the canvas, and the size might be too big to create (and defend)~~

To make a template, find an image and paste the link to the image into the first template field in the settings window. You can upload it as a Lemmy comment if you want. After that you can fix the location and dimensions, before copying the link from the address bar for sharing

~~Template Link~~

~~You can paste this in the settings to make things easier.~~

Might want to widen the template by 1px so that the tip of the leaf is not between two pixels.

Might want to find a good pixel maple leaf to base the flag dimensions off of. I couldn’t find one centered on a pixel, but it’s a start:
