turns out I did my math wrong, so it’s a little less than 30 days

✨ this year’s event also supports the entire fediverse not just Lemmy!
(you have to be able to make/receive text posts, like mastodon, lemmy, pixelfed, etc) (peertube accounts will not work)
you can get update announcements on other fedi platforms with @canvas@fediverse.events link

Nice! Hope this time the message reaches more people, last year I saw a lot of commenters that would’ve participated but didn’t know about it.

Last year I was bothered by the randomness of fonts even in single words and sentences, and started that font guide thing. Immediately afterwards I tried to plan a nicer looking frame for it that can fit more, and have it for this event if anyone wants that or cares.
I also want to get anyone's opinions on changing letters to be better if you have ideas, because I'm sure I'm not the best at this but I want it to be appealing enough to use.
The main 2 things I tried to focus on is readability, and making sure each symbol can fit in 5x3 pixels.

Looks great! You could probably even squeeze in a semicolon, square brackets, and curly braces.

How big will the canvas be this year? There was a fair bit of whitespace last year, but even with minimal notice limited only to Lemmy, it was almost the perfect amount for everything to fit without overlapping
grant@toast.ooo · 7 pts · 2y
it'll be 500x500 (from 1000x1000 last year)

Can you elaborate on the decision to make it that much smaller?
Dave@lemmy.nz · 7 pts · 2y
Whooo I'm excited!

Thank you! Been looking forward to another one.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Heck yes
threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
Yay, I'm so happy this is returning!
9point6@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Woo! I can't believe it's nearly been a year already
yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 2y
Great! How much time will it last?
grant@toast.ooo · 7 pts · 2y
it'll be 72 hours (12th @ midnight - 14th @ 11:49pm)
completely forgot to include that in the post

For the noobs, you should explain what this actually is. All I have is a name and a date. No deets.
Dave@lemmy.nz · 3 pts · 2y
Not sure if you ever worked it out but this is like r/place on reddit. There's a big board, and people can place one pixel at a time. Then you have to wait some amount of time until you can place another pixel. People work together to try to create art.

I eventually worked it out, but the point was to help others.

Anyone made a calendar invite

I added an .ics link to canvas.fediverse.events but it looks like that doesn't have great support :/

Thanks!
