I was curious on how the results looked with a standard eurovision style point distribution (where each instance gives points) instead of just average rank when looking at all the votes and figured others would be as well.

Due to certain groups having a lot more votes cast than others it tends to change the results a bit so that each group is evenly represented (instead of ones with more people having more votes to affect the average rankings. e.g. Germany has over a quarter of all of the votes cast)

In first we get Merz Leck Eier with a total of 84 points! It received 12 points from 3 different groups (Anime & Vocaloid, Programming.Dev, and UK)

Rounding out the top 3 is Limbo with 74 points and Fabienk with 66 points.

Heres the full point distribution

Hey everyone, sorry for the bit of issues with the outbound federation.

We recently updated the site to 0.19.18 and that ended up breaking the outbound federation for a bit. Luckily no activity silently failed so all posts/comments/etc. were able to be retroactively sent to other instances so that everything made during the downtime is still federated as normal now.

A couple larger instances might still be behind on content for a bit as they catch up on activities but if this post can be seen in another instance that means that instance is fully caught up. (should only be lemmy.world and a couple others that are behind)

Made a script real quick to generate images of what certain users & instances placed

Heres the pixels placed by each of the top 10 instances that placed the most pixels (that appear on the final canvas)

1. lemmy.world (48122 pixels on final canvas, 145 users)

2. feddit.org (19372 pixels on final canvas, 57 users)

3. toast.ooo (18415 pixels, 34 users)

4. lemmy.zip (13335 pixels, 20 users)

5. pawb.social (12768 pixels, 7 users)

6. sh.itjust.works (9739 pixels, 25 users)

7. grants.cafe (7264 pixels, 7 users)

8. mastodon.social (7129 pixels, 18 users)

9. programming.dev (6205 pixels, 15 users)

10. mas.to (5805 pixels, 5 users)

Its the last day of the !canvas@toast.ooo event with it ending 22 hours from when this post is made.

This is an event similar to to r/place where everyone can place a pixel on a canvas every so often. Everyone has access to the same canvas meaning you can work together to construct art and wars can happen for territory leading to needing to defend things that get constructed

Theres still some work that needs to be done for the programming.dev design so any help getting that up is appreciated. There's also still blank space around the canvas if anyone wants to add in their own designs.

Event link: https://canvas.fediverse.events/

The programming.dev design template: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=380&y=297&zoom=1&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2Ff2c5ff7d-e015-40be-851d-81ecf3c9e77c&tw=66&tx=403&ty=393&ts=DOTTED_SMALL (were near the bottom right)

Theres a timelapse of the event up to the current point at https://sc07.tv/w/sV6dtF1u1e3wMDB24k2fqZ

Happy pixel placing!

Canvas is happening in almost a day! This is an event similar to to r/place where everyone can place a pixel on a canvas every so often. Everyone has access to the same canvas meaning you can work together to construct art and wars can happen for territory leading to needing to defend things that get constructed

The event link is here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/

This is the third time the event is taking place. Theres an image in the post of what the p.d area looked like the second time it happened (were using a similar ish template this year with some differences so its different than last year)

The main locations for dicussing the event for programming.dev is this community, our discord and our matrix if you want to chat with other people participating

Theres a design that will be getting made for programming.dev in general but if any communities want to organize something feel free to plan out something nearby or elsewhere on the canvas. Any help getting the programming.dev design built will also be really appreciated since then we will be able to expand out the design and get more communities represented in the community icons

You can use this template to know where to place pixels for the programming.dev design when the event is happening

One to one: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=380&y=297&zoom=1&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2Ff2c5ff7d-e015-40be-851d-81ecf3c9e77c&tw=66&tx=403&ty=393&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

Dotted: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=380&y=297&zoom=1&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2Ff2c5ff7d-e015-40be-851d-81ecf3c9e77c&tw=66&tx=403&ty=393&ts=DOTTED_SMALL

Combined all the templates I could find into one giant template for ease of seeing where theres free space

Feel free to reply with other templates for me to add them on or with updates to templates

Theres currently 3 space conflicts (with smaller art going on the same spot as larger art)

• edit: added toast.ooo
• edit 2: updated programming.dev template
• edit 3: added feddit, bt free, fireside fedi, synthwave
• edit 4: updated synthwave position
• edit 5: added 3 new designs. Im not doing any more edits to this as its close to the event now

If you ever run into issues with the instance make sure to report them to someone on the admin team so we can fix them (Ive seen some people mention some stuff I didnt know about before since it wasnt brought up). Duplicate reports about the same issue is better than no report at all so dont worry about reporting something someone else already might

Most of the team can be reached quickly through the discord and matrix channels (more of the team is on discord but theyre federated to each other)

As well since I already got this question due to the lemm.ee shutdown just wanted to also mention here we did onboard someone new to the admin team since when we asked in the post and the instance is doing fine

I fixed a slowness issue so you might see the instance get quicker but if it still bad let me know. Ive been clearing out some tasks in my backlog for other projects im doing and am planning to start doing development work on some things relevant to the instance again sometime in the summer. For things related to the community side of the instance prioritize reaching out to someone on the community team (list is on the legal site) as always since they are the team that deals with those aspects)

Hi everyone! Were currently looking to get two new members of the community team: one for programming.dev (our forum and link aggregator) and one for bytes.programming.dev (our microblog)

Tasks would include making sure the community side of the instance runs smoothly so that people can enjoy the content on it

For programming.dev that would include helping with handling reports that come in, handling applications and making sure content hosted on the instance follows the CoC. For bytes it would be the same bar applications as bytes does not have an application process. You can see the full administration guidelines on our legal site here: https://legal.programming.dev/docs/administration-guidelines/. The primary communication platform for the admins is discord but all channels are also bridged to matrix

Anyone interested feel free to reach out to one of the team members listed in the administration guidelines (apart from snowe) or comment on the mirror of this post created on the programming.dev side (you can reach out on discord, matrix, programming.dev, or bytes)

The process for getting added onto the team would include an interview and permissions being added slowly to make sure new additions understand the guidelines and how they should be handling reports

Been working on getting a game jam set up with a bunch of other organizers for the past bit. At some point in the future I should be adding in activitypub support (for the microblog side of the fediverse) so that posts mentioning the jam show up in the jam main page (that wont be for this iteration of the jam though since I primarily focused on getting the base jam functionality up)

D2Jam is a community centered game jam with a emphasis on supporting things constructed by the community! We wanted a jam which celebrated post-submission events, encouraged discourse and reflection, and provided tools for developers to find and share games.

D2Jam is an online game jam that anyone is free to join and that lasts for 3 days (Somewhere between Friday and Monday depending on timezones). There is a 2 hour submission window at the end as a time to make sure you get your game submitted before the jam fully ends. After the jam there is a 2 week rating period to play, rate, and give feedback to other entries in the jam. In addition any post jam events such as the Score Chasers tournament will be run in the post jam period.

We have 2 categories: Regular and O.D.A (One Dev Army). Both happen at the same time.
