Canvas 2026 starts tomorrow!

tomorrow! it's tomorrow! in almost 24 hours we begin!

if you haven't heard of this before-- Canvas is a yearly event grant's been running since 2023, and it's a real-time collaborative pixel canvas that runs for 48 hours, just for the Fediverse!

How do I join?

On the website you'll be able to login using fediverse-auth (it works similar to "sign in with google")

if your app supports it, you can also login directly with it ✨

You can also test the login process directly on the site (click the emojis!)

My body will hate this weekend so much, but the soul is ready!

You can bank up to 6 pixels. That's a 3 minute break.

Questions: is there a wait time after I fill a block? Also, the positions are not guaranteed, righth? Do we need to login?

[-] squirrel@cake.kobel.fyi 7 points 2 months ago

You get one pixel every 30 seconds, banking up to 6 pixels.

Positions aren't guaranteed but people are coordinating in this cotemplate

You login with your fediverse account. You can go to https://canvas.fediverse.events/ now and press one of the three emojis to test the login.

Omg the little hanging rainbow dash on the lower left - my art lives on! That pose was originally submitted by me to be included in the desktop ponies project in 2011.
