      Funny. I knew all about it and saw mentions and promotions leading up to it and during it multiple times. I’m guessing some time zone displacement or something? Maybe some community separations?

      I posted here about this exact question already, but it was very difficult to get instance admin’s attention 😅

        I’m an instance admin and I’ve never heard of this matrix room before. Did you try advertising it on the official matrix Space for Lemmy?

          I didn’t advertise it in the general project chat, I sent it in the general admin chat

          my reasoning was to “surprise” the general users of lemmy but still give admins plenty of time to prepare for it

          if you’re an instance admin, there is a Matrix room specifically for instance admins & canvas here

          Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!

      Shit. I knew about it since day one. I guess I’m spending way too much time in the fediverse.

    In hindsight a smaller canvas might have made it a bit busier, but I’ll tell you what: I’m impressed the effort has been translated over from rPlace. Run this one again in a year or so and I can imagine it being way more popular.

    Seems like a good balance-- big enough to not devolve into territory battles, small enough to look full in the end.

    The fun thing is seeing what content is missing-- it seems like some fandoms never really migrated to the Fediverse. For me, a lack of Genshin stands out; anything this big usually gets a Fallen Qiqi out of principle.

    Never really followed this closely over on reddit … but it seems like people were happy to draw stuff they found fun … which is cool! The My LIttle Pony stuff, the Blahaj shark, star trek, diagonal rainbow, Marx, NIN, Arch Linux, a few instance tags … all up it seems fun and like it was a success! Kudos to the people that put this together!!

    I was expecting the QR code to be a rick roll, but it wasn’t. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

    Edit: There were some Rick rolls in the first 24h, my day is slightly less ruined

    I think it went really well. Better than I expected.

    As always, there was something new to think about, so even if I wasted a lot of time I still feel that I learned something from the experience.
