Thank you for creating it! Honestly, I enjoyed this one more than r/place.

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

Great thing that there was much less vandalism. I was able to single-handedly put my work on there and didn't have to fix up anything at all.
Same, that was a nice surprise. I was worried that the green labyrinth would consume my build but it just started growing along the edges, so I helped it spread further afterwards :))
I did most of the labyrinth! My original idea was that it would be more of an interstitial background linking other artwork together.

Way less vandalism. I noticed the don't got erased on the "don't that on me" and I think that's now gone entirely, probably because it's now associated with Tea Partiers in the states.

I know it's largely due to a smaller user base, and therefore smaller spread to overly popular personalities and groups, but this is so much nicer without the exceedingly large national flag patterns and huge streamer vanity projects.
Being able to actually differentiate things at a glance is nice too

this was so much fun~ Because of everything that happened on reddit I wasn't able to enjoy r/place much. So I am really happy that it happened here and it gave me a reason to finally create an account ^^ I feel proud for what I was able to do on the canvas and also happy how the canvas turned out. I'm excited for next year~
My little frog survived!
The lack of vandalism gives me the heartwarming mental imagery of passionate people drawing the things they love while being kind and understanding to one another. It makes me unreasonably happy
And all the cooperation that went into not messing up people’s art. I made a bisexual flag heart by the Aussie flag, and the bronies messaged me and said “we want to put something there but we will move your heart. Is that okay?” Which I thought was nice. Lots of people helping others too! Such a difference from the other place, and it reminds me why I moved to Lemmy.

There was a little. Like "banana for scale" became "bananada🇨🇦 for scale". Sadly it got half-reverted at the end, which is the worst of birth worlds imho. And I had to protect the Canada flag from some vandalizing. Things that were possible to change with small single-person edits happened, like mangling the text in the Stardew Valley banner, or the magnificent bastard who put one red pixel in the bottom right corner of The Blue Zone.

It was an honor to place art with all of you <3 Thanks for bringing the fediverse community together with this event!
This looks so polite, like everyone is nice to others. Just like lemmy.

Damn, I missed it :/
Seems much nicer than the Reddit one
Doesn't it? The Reddit one is always such a mess
Streamers ruined r/place. The first year was the only good one.

Was my first time participating in something like this and after hearing what a clusterfuck r/place was.
This was surprisingly fun, more time would be great, though.
Honestly, I didn't expect my name to stay ("Rin", bottom left ish inside the green box). I made it expecting it to be quickly overwritten, but people just went around it.
Someone even gave me a shadow. :)
Look at that Canada finally got the maple leaf correct on their flag.
Thank you for running this, grant. Appreciate all the hard work.
A very small percentage of folks will always whine about some grievance or point out what they feel should have been done differently, but 99.9% of everyone who engaged had a great time, thanks to you, and you won't hear anything from most of them.
I got covid for the first time as of last Friday, so we're self isolating and lying low, so this gave me something to focus on and do for long stretches, and it genuinely made a big difference.
I was able to draw my old high school notebook comic character Block Head at 2 o'clock on the Firefox logo completely unimpeded by griefers or vandals. It was really nice. Thanks again.
It's been real fun!
Few things to point out:
Go vegan!!! Yes!!!
Lot more My Little Pony than I was expecting...
Destiny community's in there
Love seeing all the Pokémon :)

Congrats everyone, the final canvas is awesome!!
Till next time!
Much white space
Very ponies
Wow
Yeah, like it or not, Lemmy is not as big as Reddit. One weekend wasn't long enough.
Then again, no bot armies was nice.

Thanks, that was interesting. Pretty different experience when there's very little contention for space.

OH CRAP this was its own thing?!? Now I’m sad, I saw this and immediately assumed it was place so I ignored it 😥 that’ll teach me to read first

It was great fun, thanks for hosting it, and also thank you to everyone who didn't paint over my DAFC badge. I love that some nice folks painted the Trans flag there, and went underneath mine, and even left a nice single white pixel border, looks great!
Also, that coffee machine is great 😃

When did this happen?? I didn't see it at all
it was really hard to get the word out for this event, but the next time this event happens I'll be announcing it on this community and in the Matrix space
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).
Seeing all the pixels come together and find their place with all the different design ideas going around is always fun to see.
Wasn't able to participate until today but I managed to place that small pencil in the bottom left corner. Was a fun little project. Can't wait until next time!
I thought it was impossible to get something meaningful down but I eventually made something nice in the end!
Thank you for this!
Awesome experience and really showed what a great community the Lemmyverse is. Thanks for running it!
Cudos to the guy who completed the south park characters . I am sorry I couldn't help after coloring cartman

Sooooo proud of you guys. Most of us have only been here for like a month and asked you created that? Big props! <3
Shout out to bronies for starting us out!
I like the native wheel with the pride maple leaf and Canada goose.
Also, way too many My Little Ponies lol
I count finish my librewolf icon
Honestly, I find it wholesome that everyone got their little space to draw without much fighting. Perhaps making the canvas increase in size by request /user numbers to accommodate newcomers instead of forcing them to draw over someone else artwork is what would make this event unique compared to r/place.
