Hey all,
I’ve got an exciting thing to announce today, Canvas — Lemmy’s r/Place!
We need to get our own traditions over here in the Threadiverse, why not start off with our own r/Place
This weekend, we will open up a canvas to all Lemmy users, each user will be able to place 1 pixel every minute. This event will last 72 hours, starting midnight EST on the 4th and ending at 11:59pm EST on the 6th

it’s a live, collaborative art project. On reddit, you’d have hundreds/thousands of people all contributing at once.
you have a blank page, you click on page to place coloured pixel. Wait 5 mins to place another.
One pixel every 5 minutes? That sounds extremely tedious.
With so many people participating, it was beautiful
So many bots*
That’s why you have a bot that coordinates with a group of users do it for you, if you want to make something intelligible
It is, but it’s the type of thing you pop in every now and then and place a pixel, and look at all the updated art that has occurred in the meantime. Everyone’s using the same canvas.
It is limited, yes, the pixel you place is one amongst many - you are just one part of the much larger project. That’s the fun part
