I know it's largely due to a smaller user base, and therefore smaller spread to overly popular personalities and groups, but this is so much nicer without the exceedingly large national flag patterns and huge streamer vanity projects.

this was so much fun~ Because of everything that happened on reddit I wasn't able to enjoy r/place much. So I am really happy that it happened here and it gave me a reason to finally create an account ^^ I feel proud for what I was able to do on the canvas and also happy how the canvas turned out. I'm excited for next year~

My little frog survived!

It was an honor to place art with all of you <3 Thanks for bringing the fediverse community together with this event!

This looks so polite, like everyone is nice to others. Just like lemmy.

Damn, I missed it :/

Seems much nicer than the Reddit one

Was my first time participating in something like this and after hearing what a clusterfuck r/place was.

This was surprisingly fun, more time would be great, though.

Look at that Canada finally got the maple leaf correct on their flag.

It's been real fun!

Thank you for running this, grant. Appreciate all the hard work.

A very small percentage of folks will always whine about some grievance or point out what they feel should have been done differently, but 99.9% of everyone who engaged had a great time, thanks to you, and you won't hear anything from most of them.

I got covid for the first time as of last Friday, so we're self isolating and lying low, so this gave me something to focus on and do for long stretches, and it genuinely made a big difference.

I was able to draw my old high school notebook comic character Block Head at 2 o'clock on the Firefox logo completely unimpeded by griefers or vandals. It was really nice. Thanks again.

Few things to point out:

Go vegan!!! Yes!!!

Lot more My Little Pony than I was expecting...

Destiny community's in there

Love seeing all the Pokémon :)

Thanks, that was interesting. Pretty different experience when there's very little contention for space.

I use Arch btw

It was great fun, thanks for hosting it, and also thank you to everyone who didn't paint over my DAFC badge. I love that some nice folks painted the Trans flag there, and went underneath mine, and even left a nice single white pixel border, looks great!

Also, that coffee machine is great 😃

Much white space

Very ponies

Wow

OH CRAP this was its own thing?!? Now I’m sad, I saw this and immediately assumed it was place so I ignored it 😥 that’ll teach me to read first

I participated. It was awesome being able to make a difference just by spending some time on it. I never really felt that in Reddit (I didn't participate in the first one).

When did this happen?? I didn't see it at all

Wasn't able to participate until today but I managed to place that small pencil in the bottom left corner. Was a fun little project. Can't wait until next time!

Seeing all the pixels come together and find their place with all the different design ideas going around is always fun to see.

07 to all you pixel placers

Sooooo proud of you guys. Most of us have only been here for like a month and asked you created that? Big props! <3

Thank you for this!

I thought it was impossible to get something meaningful down but I eventually made something nice in the end!

Awesome experience and really showed what a great community the Lemmyverse is. Thanks for running it!

Cudos to the guy who completed the south park characters . I am sorry I couldn't help after coloring cartman

Honestly, I find it wholesome that everyone got their little space to draw without much fighting. Perhaps making the canvas increase in size by request /user numbers to accommodate newcomers instead of forcing them to draw over someone else artwork is what would make this event unique compared to r/place.

That was so fun! Thanks for hosting this 😊

Thanks everyone who helped with my logo AMOGUS and creating 9 different AMOGUS with me!

Nice

Turned out really well, thanks for organising!

I like the native wheel with the pride maple leaf and Canada goose.

Also, way too many My Little Ponies lol

I painted an Andalusian flag that made it to the end! It's top-right of the X|V logo.

Viva Andalucía libre y viva Lemmy!

I count finish my librewolf icon

I only got to participate in the last little bit there, but it was really fun!

Shout out to bronies for starting us out!

It's over already!? I never even figured out how to find it, let alone contribute... :(
