Post every suggestion as a separate comment to allow for people to vote & comment on each suggestion
Make people aware of it?? I’m on lemmy all day and filtering by all and local and saw like two passing references to this.
Definitely contact bigger instance admins and get a sticky post going before/during the events
Yeah p.d admin here. I only found out about the event when someone in my instance made a comment referencing it when it was underway.
Getting contacts with admins of various instances ready to give them information as new events roll around is going to be key for growing participants. If people want I can set up a matrix chat for showing off and giving info for future lemmy events and then that can be centralized into there instead of needing to do separate dms.
Theres already an instance admin chat but would likely drown out the event posts since there’s other topics discussed in there
I sent a couple messages into the Lemmy Instance admins Matrix room, but a lot of instances ignored the posts I made 😅
lemmy.world was voting internally on when to announce it but the event would’ve been over before the internal voting concluded they are interested in joining the next event tho 👀
and to any Lemmy instance admins reading this, join the admin room so you can be aware of the next one :)
Hexagon pixels. (Or weirdly shaped areas to be filled). It would force more creativity and get rid of all designs from previous rounds.
I’d like the option to place white pixels on virgin white pixels as a form of grief protection.
Offical user stats after it is done. Maybe a map to see all your placed pixels? Something like that.
Placement data is available in the official final post, it’s up to us to process it into nice maps. I expect that to happen in the coming days.
Run an extra day or two, so everyone gets some weekend and week day? Between shift workers and countries with different weekends, Sat/Sun is still a workday for many.
Thursday-Monday feels good, perhaps with one of the modifications discussed here halfway through.
I think one issue is that it’s no fun to defend your patch for too long. Any future even is likely to have twice as many participants, and anything drawn on the Thursday is likely gone by the Monday without a team to defend it.
That’s true, but one thing I liked about r/place was the evolution of designs - for example a massive flag would appear early on, be fought over and then the flag would shrink to a more defensible size and the rest of the flag became a different thing. The time lapse was fascinating because of this.
The culture here is more cooperative and less troll-y (trollful? trollesque?) so I’d hope/expect to see more collaborative solutions. I know once I’d helped place the fuck cars logo I threw my pixels into helping build unfinished designs or repair existing ones.
Yeah, it will be interesting how the community here evolves over time. Definitely this Canvas event had people working together, respecting other designs, and helping out other projects; but I wonder if it would be the same if we didn’t have ample space.
