Sometimes the canvas takes a bit to load
i’m the canvas guy (!canvas@toast.ooo)

Sometimes the canvas takes a bit to load
when the event goes live, it’ll be a website you can login to and place pixels
the login system sends a DM to your account with a code to verify your identity, no passwords are used
oh shit i didn’t see this notification 😅
keep an eye out 👀
Oh hey it’s also toast’s 1 year as well 🎉
After taking a glance at the AppStore page for it, it looks like direct tipping/paywalled content instead of advertisements but I could be wrong
Tipping/paywalling seems like a step in the right direction, avoiding advertisements
Something that I’d love to see in a fediverse server that exposes the client-to-server standard of creating statuses instead of just the Mastodon API
there’s a good bit of uploads that are there now
very cool
i also want to style it to look like the in-game one as a nice finishing touch
Mastodon on iOS adds a button to the URL share sheet to open any url within Mastodon, and if it’s an ActivityPub object, will load the post inside Mastodon
Does the Android version have something similar?
ejabberd recently announced full matrix federation at the server level, so there’s hope
I feel like it’s because of the risky nature of video content and it appearing to be hosted by the site
I run a small instance that doesn’t have open registrations and is very limited in who it follows to prevent risky videos from accidentally being rehosted (and to host content I helped make)
I would definitely reword your original post, it’s very misleading with how it’s worded now
(Eg “How I feel” -> “how individual users feel”)
All my servers are named after colors
Then my vms are ingredients to an omelette
No worries man, it’s a definite change from how the internet currently exists (i’ll make a landing page explaining all these in more detail in the coming days)
The first link, !canvas@toast.ooo, will open up the community (the Lemmy equivalent of Reddit’s “subreddits”). Being subscribed to that community will allow posts to the community to show up in your home feed
Matrix is a chat protocol that is a federated live chat system, the Matrix protocol is not ActivityPub (what Lemmy, Mastodon and others run on) it runs on it’s own protocol. The most popular client for Matrix is Element. You can host your own homeserver using Synapse, but it’s highly recommended to use their main instance (matrix.org
– it’s also the default option when you open Element in browser).
Matrix is setup in a way that you don’t have to worry about missing old messages when you are on a new instance. When you join a new room (“channel”) in Matrix, you will automatically be able to read old chat messages by backfilling old messages. Matrix also runs a very convenient website to share rooms with other people (matrix.to
– which is linked in my original comment) that will open a list of apps to open the room with (no vendor lock in).
Matrix is designed in a way were it doesn’t matter what instance you are registered under. No matter the instance, you’ll be able to read the chat, history and participate in live conversation.
Hopefully this cleaned some stuff up for you and like I said at the start of the post, I’ll be making a landing page also explaining this stuff to help other people navigate this as well :)

That seemed to be a major hiccup this time around, getting the word out there
my plan for next year’s is to give 30 days and 7 day notice before the event starts
make sure you’re subscribed to !canvas@toast.ooo & in the Matrix space so you don’t miss it next year
I ran a fork of pxls for this event and they have their own instance at https://pxls.space, and compared to pixelcanvas.io, is moderated (if that’s what you’re looking for) :)
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!
I do plan on running one next year, possibly with a smaller canvas
but with the amount of people interested after the event concluded, we might stick with the same size for next year, but who knows right now 😉
Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community (!canvas@toast.ooo) and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!
Everything was rebooting, it should work now 👍
