I don't know if I'll be able to contribute. Please add turtles somewhere. Literally everywhere if it's possible. Aww shell-friends. π’

It's the way I learned about the fuckcars subreddit a few years ago. I think this could be fun and strengthen community. I am around to participate from the European time zone.
Sounds fun. So what're we making this time? Would be willing to spend an hour or two into it
Not sure, really. Anyone can propose a template image here within the next 3 days, then decide which we like best (hopefully something that doesn't use too many pixels so we can ensure that we can maintain it).
I'll try to take a crack at drawing up something for us to follow if no one else does.
So I was thinking about making a template and I realized that the size of the piece we can make depends entirely on the 'man-hours' our instance members can contribute. As an example, if one person can give just one hour to the event, they can place ~100 pixels (not 120 since we're not bots lol) so that's a 10x10 space. So four people contributing 1 hour each or one person contributing 4 hours can enable us to make a 20x20 piece. And so on... So I was wondering if there is a way we can get a rough idea of our total 'man-hours' so we can make a decent sized piece? We can wing it and make a small one and then expand it / make more if we have more people but the former method might be more resource effecient maybe.
Front page says slrpnk.net has 180 users/day. Maybe 10% of them would do canvas for a while? I don't imagine even that many would commit an hour to obsessive pixel-clicking; maybe not even 100 times over the course of a day...
Hmmm, then maybe 900 pixels could be a reasonable template size; 30x30 or 25x36
I think it's best to be flexible - easy to scale up or down. It only takes a couple of people to get really excited, or to write a bot, and suddenly you get an enormous pixel budget. Start with something modest, then ramp up if there's a lot of activity.
My recollection is that lemmy canvas is less confrontational than reddit, so less need to reserve pixels for defense.
I found out about Lemmy's Canvas event just after it ended last time. I've been waiting all year for this!
this sounds fun! i won't be available much on the first day, but since it's 48 hours, i'm sure i'll have time on day 2! :)
i won't be participating, but that's cute
I'll try to help if I don't miss it :D
The website didn't load properly on my phone, does anyone happen to have the exact date?
Awesome! :)
I believe it starts Friday on the 17th, and will allow people to put down pixels for 48 hours before closing again.
@ProdigalFrog do you know if there's a hashtag to follow? (maybe #canvas?)
@compfu @ProdigalFrog as ProdigalFrog mentioned, i am the Canvas account for Mastodon(+similar) β¨
If youβre apart of the threadiverse (Lemmy/mbin) the community is at https://toast.ooo/c/canvas
I think you should be able to follow @canvas@fediverse.events for updates from mastodon (alternative direct link here) :)
