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.

Huh, it doesn’t like my instance 😢

[–] grant@toast.ooo 1 points 8 hours ago

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 :)

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

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

What is this dumb shit then?

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

bots arent allowed, if you point out the pixels mods can check if they actually are bots

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Aberration13@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

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.

Posting our tramp stamp here for posterity before it inevitably gets overwritten by yet another country flag 😆

Cool!

Ps, 20 hrs and it's still there!

[–] chrisbit@leminal.space 1 points 6 hours ago

Huh, surprised it remained until the end!

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh shit this is on Lemmy too!!??! Hell yea!!

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Has been for a couple years now!

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Didn't expect so many ponies. 3 so far

I think those are from hexbear. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

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.

[–] Coki91@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The site loads for me and after a few seconds I get a blank page... how do I deal with it?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 22 points 2 days ago

hurrah, lets go! (I need my coffee)

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

This is pretty cool! Curious to see what it will look like when it's all done. Go wild with it lemmy peeps!

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago

It’s time to do my part!

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Failed to login via piefed.social btw. lemmy.world account worked no problem.

[–] grant@toast.ooo 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 :/

[–] MrKaplan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 @Bonus@lemmy.world

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Interesting. I looked through, didn't find a pm setting...

[–] MrKaplan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it's in the main settings area:

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I've got it set the same way. Thanks.

[–] thedoginthewok@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Can't seem to login

edit: It worked after logging in on lemmy.world again (logged out, then logged back in)

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I keep getting "session lost" when I enter the code.

Nevermind: took 5 tries, but finally logged in.

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does GoToSocial accounts not work? Couldnt Auth. I never got the message. Tried a few times to auth.

[–] grant@toast.ooo 1 points 1 day ago

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 👍

[–] TurnOnTheSunflower@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is lemmy.world not a valid domain?

[–] MrKaplan@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

seems to work for me

[–] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Took me a few tries and apparently it’s case sensitive
