Hello all, I'm sharing this here because I think it is a fun and interesting initiative that users might appreciate knowing about.
The instance https://toast.ooo/ is running an event similar to Reddit's /r/place. Here you can find their post announcement. The canvas can be reached here: https://canvas.toast.ooo
If you are not familiar with /r/place: the idea is that every user gets to place pixels on a canvas. After placing a pixel, there is a 1 minute cool-down before you are able to place the next pixel.
To log-in, you fill-in your instance's name and username, and you are sent a code as a private message which you then use to authenticate. So the method of authentication does not expose your username and password combination to a third party.
I find it cool how third-party events like this one can be integrated into the decentralized Lemmyverse without requiring active input from instance admins.
Yes, we should be federating properly.
Which post? How did you try to fetch it?
Oh, I realized that the post was made by a user who's not on toast.ooo but I had copied the toast.ooo link.

Ah, yes, it can be confusing! That's when the 'fedi-star' link is useful :)
