Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!
I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.
This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating! ♥
Event date: August 4th (12:00am EST) - 6th (11:59pm EST)
Future Events
I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!
I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event

Much white space

Wow
You can get cleaner art if you just wipe out neighbours and replace with your own through bots. Working together and building together is on brand for Lemmy. I prefer human flawed art to robot perfect art.
The canvas started slightly too big, but the end goal was epic considering.
Yeah, like it or not, Lemmy is not as big as Reddit. One weekend wasn’t long enough.
Then again, no bot armies was nice.
I’m willing to bet that more people would have contributed if they knew where the damn page was to begin with.(Such as myself). It wasn’t advertised very well.
