Canvas is an event that is like reddit's r/place, where users can paint one pixel at a time and we all work together to make some art. You can see more at last year's conclusion post.

You use your Lemmy account to log in, where it messages you a code to confirm it's you (no password required). This year they have a one account per person rule, so we will need all hands on deck!

We have a template for the design we have put together, you can jump straight to Canvas with the template enabled by clicking this link: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=162&y=328&zoom=4&tu=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.nz%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F497358ad-b655-4ae1-9e42-ea70c303a63e.png&tw=112&tx=100&ty=300&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

The event starts today (Friday) at 4pm, and runs for 72 hours.

If you use Matrix (or are willing to use Matrix) join the chatroom by following the instructions here.

We can also use this post for coordination, or if anyone is having trouble getting logged in or other issues.

OK I'm in. Never done this before. Will have a look!

Great! After login, you might need to come back to this lemmy post and click the link with the template. Then in the settings of Canvas, reduce the template opacity until you can see what's already done. Then pick the colour that matches the square you want to colour, and click!

You can only place one pixel every 32 seconds, but if you go away then these stack up to a maximum of 6 that you can place all at once.

Yep just placed a couple! Thanks.
