Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!

I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.

This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating! ♥

Event date: August 4th (12:00am EST) - 6th (11:59pm EST)

Future Events

I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!

I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event

If you have suggestions for future events, post them in a comment on this post, each suggestion as it’s own comment so people can vote on them

    Well that was fun. I tried to help with programming.dev’s checker pattern and I think I’m gonna see it on my dreams for a while. I also made the mario 3 frog suit cause why not.

    It was an honor to place art with all of you <3 Thanks for bringing the fediverse community together with this event!

    imho the canvas was a bit too large for the userbase. Sure it’s cool that everyone got a spot but I liked the thrill of the “fights” every time two projects tried to occupy the same space. But I guess the “friendly nature” of canvas kind of reflects the current state of lemmy so it’s okay :)

      I agree. For me it’s not the fights but the artworks that take the shape they can. As in Flags in non rectangle shapes and in general works adapting to their environment.

      It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!

      Make sure you’re in subscribed to this community and the Matrix space so you don’t miss next years!

    I participated. It was awesome being able to make a difference just by spending some time on it. I never really felt that in Reddit (I didn’t participate in the first one).

      That seemed to be a major hiccup this time around, getting the word out there

      my plan for next year’s is to give 30 days and 7 day notice before the event starts

      make sure you’re subscribed to [email protected] & in the Matrix space so you don’t miss it next year

    This was a lot of fun! I (briefly) participated in the first reddit place, but I didn’t find it anywhere near as friendly or engaging as I found this. Thanks to whoever started Calvin after I finished Hobbes and needed to take a break, I never would’ve gotten both done without you!
