canvas.fediverse.events

TL;DR:

  • Canvas is starting 4pm: https://canvas.fediverse.events/
  • Copy this URL into the template URL in the settings at 220, 120: https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/1e7f0f78-fb55-445c-8170-4f3ef44e5767.png

Hi all, it’s Canvas time again! We all work together to place pixels and build an image.

Here is the template we have (decided in this post):

image showing !newzealand@lemmy.nz, the lemmyNZ logo, gumboots, a fantail, a penguin, and a laser kiwi

Copy this URL into the template URL in the settings: https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/1e7f0f78-fb55-445c-8170-4f3ef44e5767.png

Then set the position to 220, 120 to position it. There is a wider plan here with other people’s templates: https://chocolatecakecodes.goip.de/cotemplate/ui/template/20260520-Canvas26_main

You log in with your Lemmy account by entering your instance (e.g. lemmy.nz) then your username (e.g. Dave). It sends a code to you via a message and then you enter it to prove it’s your account. No password necessary!

My plan is to start with the outline of the template to clearly define our spot, then to start filling in the rest.

Any questions, let me know. I hope to see you there!

    I think we are done! It only took us 24 hours out of the 48 hour event!

    Our canvas progress, showing !newzealand@lemmy.nz, the lemmyNZ logo, gumboots, a fantail, a penguin, and a laser kiwi. Plus the items around us, a big QR code to the bottom right (goes to vegan site), a rook/crow looking thing at bottom left, and some not quite recognisable stuff from at the top due to the cropping, people at top left but half cut off

    Feel free to add stuff to the gaps around us. There is also a master template if you want to help others, reset your template to coordinates 0,0 and don’t have a size, then add this URL. It should match up with ours as well as have a bunch of other people’s templates: https://chocolatecakecodes.goip.de/cotemplate/api/templates/20260520-Canvas26_main/template?images=all#1784434131037

    It comes from here: https://chocolatecakecodes.goip.de/cotemplate/ui/template/20260520-Canvas26_main

    There is a link to copy the URL at the top of that site.

        By over top do you mean like going up and around the QR code or in the middle of it? If you mean up and around the QR code that’d probably be fine. If you mean like going through the middle of it, I’m not as sure all scanners would like it

      Damn how? The exact same image is at the exact same coordinates…

      Anyway, I adjusted the coordinates to be out by 2 on the master template so if you re-pull it the template should now match.
