Hey all,
I’ve got an exciting thing to announce today, Canvas — Lemmy’s r/Place!
We need to get our own traditions over here in the Threadiverse, why not start off with our own r/Place
This weekend, we will open up a canvas to all Lemmy users, each user will be able to place 1 pixel every minute. This event will last 72 hours, starting midnight EST on the 4th and ending at 11:59pm EST on the 6th
Some instances that are joining in:

We need to get our own traditions over here in the Threadiverse, why not start off with another platform’s tradition
Does it count as a new tradition if we don’t poop all weekend?
Good plan. You’re on. You go first.
Oh no you’re not getting me to poop first that easy
The real question is who poop last.
Have you ever read a single history book? Humans are not very creative. All traditions are copying the tribe next door’s tradition with a little twist. That’s just how culture works.
The age old tradition of cultural appropriation.
Where’s the twist?
couldn’t be worse than having cloudflare verification on a can of beans
Don’t knock our fucking traditions, Carl
Were you not amused by Poop and Beans??

What does it mean for an instance to “join in”? Can users not participate unless their instance has joined?
Seems like onboarding will be handled by a bot, so I imagine it shouldn’t really matter what instance you’re using. As for instances that are “Joining in”, I think that just refers to Admins for those instances promoting the event.
If we want to start our own traditions, why the hell are we copying reddit yet again?
So we can write fuck spez, but this time on Lemmy.
What’s the downside? Just something fun to do
Place is fun. Glad to see that it’s going to happen here too.
It seems there is a fair number of people wanting to “not copy Reddit.” But it seems they forget that the whole reason they are on Lemmy/Kbin is to find an alternative to Reddit, that basically works like Reddit. The sentiment of “don’t do what Reddit does” should apply only to the shifty stuff Reddit does, like cutting off API access to good developers.
as long as the “Fuck Spez” tags are kept to a minimum
I agree. Place is an awesome idea and its inventor doesn’t even work for reddit anymore. The idea extends beyond Reddit, so why not have a big canvas for lemmy?
If you thought Reddit had a lot of fuck spez spam on place, wait till you see lemmys version.
I’d really prefer if we do our own thing and let Reddit slowly fade into obscurity.
Yeah me too but people are addicted to their corporate masters.
I mean, it’s mostly going to be a lot of 503 Server not found or an army of bots will take over to draw some yiff art.
Hah yo
Hah yo
I hope not. He won’t even see it
Joining would be neat but… how?
angry developers can do anything
That’s exciting! Would be interesting to see what kind of people are really here lol

Sounds nifty as long as it works as intended.
I’m still waiting for someone to come up with something sort of kind of like Place but not a complete clone.
Hold on I got it, Place but…
three deee
With sound, everybody can choose an instrument and place a note on an orchestral score and OH THE CACOPHONY! MAKE IT STOP!
That sounds horrible and and genius at the same time
I imagine it’d sound like this.
That’s way too coherent, I’m thinking it’d be more like this but more discordant and interminably longer.

This… this is becoming something interesting actually!
Brb learning three.js
Credit where it’s due, Reddit was pretty good at coming up with novel ideas for social experiments for a few years (which also drove engagement, not coincidentally).
If I were to come up with Place-but-not, for the fediverse and Lemmy specifically, I would do it like this:
The canvas would start very small and divided into plots, with each plot “owned” by a user. The user who owns a plot can determine the pallete to be used in their plot, can whitelist / blacklist other users on their plot, and has a reduced cooldown on placing pixels inside their plot. They are the admin of their plot, basically, which is to mimic an instance.
When every pixel of the canvas has been covered at least once or a certain amount of time has elapsed, it would expand with new auto-generated plots randomly assigned to users from among those who have placed a pixel. Plots could be regular squares or other irregular shapes. The most inactive plots could be blanked and reassigned to a new owner after a time.
In this way, users would have to work together to make bigger art on the canvas or seek out a spot willing to cooperate with their art. You’d see alliances of plots, users making art around an uncooperative plot, hostile plots get ganged up on, hands-off plot owners allowing anything on their plot, and all sorts of shit like that that makes social experiments like this interesting. You’d likely still need top-tier admin intervention to remove hate symbols and the like.
Why?
Gonna be fun
Sounds fun. Hopefully we can get a bunch of niche communities to show their love.
why
Why not? Its fun
Because fuck spez that’s why
Good enough for me. Just show me where the beans are.
