Someone has organised a Lemmy version of r/place at https://lemmy.nz/post/741632
The site uses your lemmy account, but doesn’t require your password. Instead it will send a message to your lemmy account to verify it’s you. I had to try a couple of times to get it working but it worked in the end.
You can jump straight to the canvas here: https://canvas.toast.ooo
I guess that we have done more than I or @Dave@lemmy.nz thought we would get done.
I think we are off to help the Aussie lot in the bottom left for now.
Well done folks. Our little bit of canvas:
Update just after 12:
keep it going
Here’s what I’m going for next:

Seems like it got a bit crowded around our area since last night
It sure did! I’m glad we got a good outline on the new kiwi before going to bed!
I think they made the canvas a bit too big…
Or maybe it’s a social commentary on over-population or something
Yeah I agree. I’ve seen other comments on that too. They have already changed the cooldown so you can place each pixel more often (down to 30 seconds).
It’s nice being able to make something without having to compete for space with others, though.
They are among us
Edit: Finished the first one, on to the second with top left at (325, 555)
spoiler
The Lemmy.nz logo seemed way too hard to do, so I’ve started doing this smaller version of the !newzealand@lemmy.nz logo with the bottom left corner at (379,574):
To help, the cog button shows some settings, one of them lets you put in an overlay image. Use the following URL which is a life size image (and don’t forget to adjust the opacity): https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/6dca54d2-d383-4547-97d3-b740f78544a2.png
I still have motivation I’ll probably add “!newzealand@lemmy.nz” to the
rightleft of it. (Edit: woke up this morning and there’s no longer space on the right, so will go for the left)
Life size for overlay:

Holy shit the bronies really went all out
Haha they sure did!
I’m using this font to make a lemmy.nz above the NZ logo: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/811116/4x4_pixel_font
Or might use some letters from here: https://www.deviantart.com/whipptron/art/4x4-Pixel-alphabet-plus-numbers-313579218 (M is hard)
Edit: Done!
Done!
Amazing! That was quick!
Ms are hard! (And W)
It actually doesn’t look too bad using the second link
Awesome, well done
The war of the kiwi icons ;)
@Dave@lemmy.nz and I are above/below each other
I got bored, space invaders
War? I thought it was more like a kiwi party?
Finished?
Woo! I’ve edited my post last night with a new pattern to add to the left hand side, which is underway already
There seemed to be a NZ flag developing under the kiwis, I have startes to pick out the corners of the union jack under the blue pony.
Please dont cover the pony, QR code or the ‘never gona give you up’
H:240 V:610 Size:118
The stars won’t lign up nut can be used for the union jack
Odd that I can’t get it to load your URL. Is your server set to only be accessible from NZ? I’ve uploaded here, so people can use this template URL: https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/20e09c99-080a-4ba6-a9ee-99225138ca60.png
Although it’s not quite lining up with reality, it’s good enough to get the job done.
We could redo the stars… they’re pretty janky right now
I’ll follow whatever pattern someone gives me :)
OK, what now?
Hmm I’m not at home to pull something together. Any suggestions? Another logo from another sub? Put a border around what we have?
There does seem to be plenty of space above for something big.
Laser kiwi?
Edit: OK, I stole this from an old Reddit Post:
Template URL: https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/fd451bcb-56e1-4f32-aa99-25a3947175ba.png
Position: 335, 517
Doing my best to help the laser kiwi now that I’ve done a QR and URL for no.lastname.nz
I’m helping where ever I can when I can remember :)
Thanks!
Doesn’t seem like the Aussies are doing anything? @lodion@aussie.zone?
I’m far too disorganised to coordinate that. Though I’m sure someone from /c/Melbourne will 🙂
Odd, I’m sure I saw they had a Matrix chat set up in the Canvas matrix space
Could be that I’m just missing what they’re doing…?
Looks like they are doing a massive flag in the bottom left. Just may have underestimated how many people they need to fill in all those pixels…
Yeah given how long our little laser kiwi flag is taking, theirs will take forever!
I’m doing my part 🫡
