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

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

      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.

            Oh nice you’re here :D

            Love the idea, I had a lot of fun spreading it and being frustrated when I miscalculated the distance for the colors when getting near another build. Would you be willing to do it again next year / in the next event?

                Do you think “LabyrinthineCanvas” would be a fitting name for a community to organize? Well, if you’d be in for a community at all, could also just simply start it again next time ^^

                  I don’t know if there’s already a convention for naming Canvas-related communities, but it seems like it would make more sense for them to start with “Canvas” so they all sort together in peoples’ community lists.

                    Oh that’s a good point, maybe it should be something along the lines of CanvasMaze/-Labyrinth. I’ll give it some more thought

        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.
