Canvas is available for Lemmy!
This is similar to reddit's /r/place. Each user gets to place a pixel on a canvas. The pixels are refreshed every 30 seconds.
The website with the canvas is: https://canvas.toast.ooo/
To log-in, you simply provide your instance's name and your username, and you get a code to log-in.
I have made a template for making an XNO flag. You can reach it by clicking here.
In the settings there is a button that allows you to toggle the tample on/off. You can use that button to make sure that you are placing the pixel in an unoccupied spot.

there's a faction function, not sure what it does
If you shift + click on a pixel, you can see who placed that pixel, and you can also see their faction. I think the faction is a way for users to label themselves as part of a team, but it doesn't have any special additional mechanic associated with it.
very cool! how long does this last? it's charging up an idea i've had for a while though, basically a permanent nano canvas where each pixel could be claimed by an address and balance. and then if you take someone's pixel, there could be a bidding war or something like that. you get your nano back + some extra and then they claim your pixel for themselves. so i guess it would be some type of free market canvas? lots of possibilities there.
basically evolve the OG version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage
Oooooh I get what you mean, that's a very good idea!
I think the canvas lasts until Sunday night
