Look at all that whitespace!

Seriously, this is pathetic; Lemmy/Piefied needs way more users. I'm trying my best to convince more people to switch from reddit, but I'm finding it a lot more difficult than it was in 2010 to convince people to leave digg for reddit! Kids these days don't seem to care how abusive the admins are on their favorite platform, so long as everyone's using it.

Oh that wasn't the finished product, just the part where nz Lemmy finished. The final thing actually looks great

Oh yay now someone is trying to draw right on top of our work?

Watch out! There's a rat sniffing out the Pīwakawaka 🫣

Getting a bit more filled in around the sides now. I'm gonna head to bed, and hope someone works out how to merge the corvid and the Voidpunk flag while I'm sleeping 😅

screen shot of the same lemmy template (lemmyNZ logo, !newzealand@lemmy.nz text plus fantail, penguin, gumboots, laser kiwi) but wth some stars and black background at the bottom left, and a Voidpunk flag on the right (no I don't know what that is), and a corvid/crow/rook or something squeezed in under the lemmy NZ logo

Great job everyone! I saw heaps of LemmyNZ users in the mix, including newer members that may not have been in previous events. Also saw a bunch of friends-of-LemmyNZ helping as well 🙂

I'm working on filling in gaps now, around our area at the moment but will branch out to try to help fill out the canvas.

And the laser made it to the edge of the canvas
