I remember there was some equivalent action but dont know for sure what it was since I didnt use mobile
Oh huh I didnt even realize you could pan like that, guess one of those has to be removed and moved to something else unless its detected between hold and tap
scrolling the scroll wheel scrolls the map and clicking down on the wheel over a pixel color picks
The only thing that was removed after the canvas freeze was the map flag
You could middle click to color pick in the event
To get it actually running you need to do more than set up just the env but ive got what I needed to do here

You can see the final canvas here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/
We managed to finish our design pretty quickly and there was also the godot logo, the lattice pattern to the right, the cable leading from the monitor to the outlet up near one of the other designs, and everything else people helped with!
Ill be prepping for the next canvas close to when that happens (next year) and if anyone else wants to help out with the design you can help plan it out in the event channel on the discord/matrix
If anyone wants to help out with developing new features for the next time canvas occurs the projects open source. https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase
Suggestions for Canvas and future events!
Hey everyone! Thanks for participating in Canvas. I wanted to make a thread to collect together suggestions people have that can be worked on before the next Canvas.
Feel free to also throw in suggestions for future Events we can build and run for the fediverse.
Ill be collecting suggestions together and making issues for them in the repository for myself or some other contributors to work on (the projects open source so anyones free to contribute! https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase)
New Feature: New Pixel Pulses

As part of an update that was just pushed you can now enable "New Pixel Pulses" which will make a little circle for a bit surrounding any new pixels that get placed onto the canvas
You can use this to see where activity is happening on the canvas
This was originally made as a userscript by soda_cans and was adapted by me into the actual codebase
Its fixed in the build im working on now and will be back soon. Just finishing up one other feature
the green is blank pixels, its white on the actual canvas
Filling in backgrounds and white!
![](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/3d428ad1-8ab4-45c8-9aaf-f0feb801486f.png?format=webp&thumbnail=128)
![](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/3d428ad1-8ab4-45c8-9aaf-f0feb801486f.png?format=webp)
Currently on the canvas theres a bunch of blank space remaining. This is both due to people using the blank space as part of their design and due to some areas not having backgrounds yet!
(The green shade in the attached image is the blank canvas filter, you can find it in settings to see whats blank space and whats white)
As we head into the last part of canvas if you have any spare pixels you dont know what to do with you can drop some to help out some of the backgrounds
Some example locations:
Bi flag (around y=437)
Gray lattice (around 472, 461)
Whitespace in OSU (around 313, 265)
Void (around 709, 218)
Foliage (around 581, 493)
Yellow (around 74, 469)
Blue and Teal (around 271, 201)
White stripes in the upper flags (around 350, 46)
If you have any others post them in a comment
Were running a cable from the outlet to the Programming.Dev monitor!

![](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/91aa4463-0b9b-4852-963e-b0b8a134fb2a.png?format=webp)
Image linked has a red line for where the cables currently planned to go. Any help is appreciated to give our monitor some power!
I started the cable from the outlet and its currently the gray color (third from the left) and will have some parts that need to be shadowed shadowed with the fourth color from the left in the palette
Note if its resized the cooldown could also possibly be reduced
have you sent a code in the past and accidentally copied that one instead (usually codes take a bit to show up and theyre different every time you request them) or are you adding in some extra characters like a space on either side
also what code are you copying in (as in whats the source youre getting it from)
The canvas was expanded to have that area a bit before this was posted
Servers overloaded atm, will be a bit to have things fixed
Theres all of them separated into rows in this post: https://programming.dev/post/16722223
The Programming.Dev section on canvas has been completed!

After 15 hours of canvas being active we have finished the design for the instance (and c/godot is also complete over there as well)!
Theres one faction that is going around attacking things sometimes so we still need to defend the design but feel free to go out and help our neighbors! You can find some of the designs over in the group finder thread https://programming.dev/post/16546238
One of our neighbors who needs some help is lemmy.zip. You can find their template here if you want to help build up their logo https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=291&y=417&zoom=4&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FhuITY4p.png&tw=71&tx=255&ty=375&ts=NUMBERS
servers been going down to update every so often. Usually you can get in after a bit when that happens and its up atm
Canvas has started, happy placing!
The canvas event has just started and will be active for 3 days. You can find the programming.dev templates here:
one to one template for an instance design: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=402&y=382&zoom=2&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F9a57789d-d7d9-4646-b7f1-3e00bb6d02c9&tw=500&tx=0&ty=0&ts=ONE_TO_ONE
And then a dotted template here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=403&y=382&zoom=2&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F9a57789d-d7d9-4646-b7f1-3e00bb6d02c9&tw=500&tx=0&ty=0&ts=DOTTED_BIG
(includes the programming.dev area, toast.ooo, and c/godot currently)
And then an image of the design

The fediverse canvas event is starting in a couple hours (event similar to r/place) and similar to last year I figured we can place the godot logo on it!
Canvas is an event where everyone can place a pixel every so often on a shared canvas. This can overwrite previously placed pixels which can lead to communities fighting for space on the canvas
You can find the link to it here: https://canvas.fediverse.events
I set up a template beside the main programming.dev area that you can find from the below links. This can be edited if theres another godot design people like more but figured it was a good start. For real time chatting im active on the programming.dev discord and matrix
one to one template: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=423&y=472&zoom=5&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F4ce62a78-1476-4842-a2df-fcb84049a52a&tw=44&tx=386&ty=429&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

any fediverse account will work. Itll allow you to log in when it opens
added you to a spot around there since you didnt give exact coords. Let me know if you want to be moved on here
Update: the template now has c++ along with a bunch of other communities

I collected together all of the templates I could find for different groups (originally did this to see where I can expand the programming.dev template out to but figured other people might be interested so they can see where there wont be as much conflict for space
Most of these are from the group finder thread. Some may be a pixel off but I tried to get things as close as possible (some of these are recreated since I couldnt get the source image from imgur or the source image is larger and was shrunk for the canvas with me not being able to replicate the shrink behaviour)
The factions included in here are:
- Australia
- Bronies
- Osu
- New Zealand
- Blahaj.Zone
- Programming.Dev
- Toast.ooo
- SquaredCircle
- Arecibo message
- Touhou
- SCP
- jlai.lu
- Anarchy chess
- Perchance
- Feddit.org
Ill try to do an updated post if needed with additional factions that post their templates close to when the event starts
And if theres anyone who wants to join up with the programming.dev template if youre tech related or if you want to ally feel free to reach out (you can find our groups in the group finder thread)
edit: moved SquaredCircle since they moved to not overlap with Osu
edit 2: added Lilou41's template
edit 3: updated osu and bronies to be more recent art
edit 4: added Lvxferre's template
edit 5: added touhou hijack

Canvas starts in almost 1 day! Information and grouping up for the event

Canvas is happening in almost a day! This is an event similar to to r/place where everyone can place a pixel on a canvas every so often. Everyone has access to the same canvas meaning you can work together to construct art and wars can happen for territory leading to needing to defend things that get constructed
The event link is here: https://canvas.fediverse.events
This is the second time the event is taking place. Ive attached an image of what our area looked like the first time it happened.
Last time canvas took place it was limited to only lemmy users due to limitations in the log in system. This time however its open to all fediverse users so there will probably be a lot more competition for space
The main locations for dicussing the event for programming.dev is this community, our discord and our matrix if you want to chat with other people participating
Theres a design that will be getting made for programming.dev in general but if any communities want to organize something feel free to plan out something nearby or elsewhere on the canvas. Any help getting the programming.dev design built will also be really appreciated since then we will be able to expand out the design and get more communities represented in the community icons
You can use this template to know where to place pixels for the programming.dev design when the event is happening
One to one: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=394&y=489&zoom=2&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F6f673823-4fce-4fc0-8b92-8c2fda30469f&tw=500&tx=0&ty=0&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

edit: added c/godot and toast.ooo to the template
This design may get updated as the event goes on so check for any updates every so often so you dont erase work
Ill be active over in the event channel in discord & matrix (theyre bridged to each other) and will be posting some announcements in this community. Feel free to make posts relating to the event in here

We now have a new alternate frontend for our instance, Tesseract!
Tesseract is a fork of Photon with some differences displayed on the project's GitHub page.
The overall main features being:
- Full Media Support in Feed and Posts
- Community Browser / Enhanced Discovery
- Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) Integration
- Fediseer Integration
- Distinguished and Sticky Comments
- Keyword Filtering
- Multiple Account Support
- Improved Moderation Tools
You can find the Tesseract frontend at https://t.programming.dev
Along with this, Photon is currently only semi-supported as opposed to being one of our main Alternate Frontends. Due to a recent swap in Photon's tooling we are unable to update to later versions of Photon. As such, for now the alternate frontend will exist frozen and will continue to exist in the future until either: a new lemmy version breaks that version of the frontend or the issues are fixed and upgrading becomes possible again.
Stacks (Our blog) Reorganization
I made some updates to the post system in stacks.programming.dev to make it a bit more organized.

I made some updates to the post system in stacks.programming.dev to make it a bit more organized. Categories will now be only the main sites and posts will be filtered into what categories they fit best in. Previously each subdomain has its own category.
The main change for this would be that things like alternate frontends will be under the Programming.Dev category instead of their own (but they still have a tag for people who want to filter by only that subdomain)
Ive also cleaned up the posts to organize them better in the source code by appending the date they were made in front of each ones file name and ive added some more tags (such as an Alternate Frontend tag)

Hey everyone! Theres an event upcoming for the fediverse in 1 week (you can see the countdown from this site: https://canvas.fediverse.events/). This is an event similar to place and ran by the toast.ooo instance
Everyone has access to a shared pixel art canvas and can place a new pixel every so often! Pixels placed onto the map color that pixel the color you choose which every person then sees. People often coordinate with things like templates to get art of different things onto the map.
An example of canvas
Last year we participated and managed to get a pretty big zone for programming.dev. This year however will have much more participants than last year so need more support and help constructing our area. I'll be attempting to establish a technology zone on the canvas so if theres any instances or communities that have to do something with technology and want to do something feel free to reach out and we can help each other.
Programming.Dev's area in last years canvas
If you're interested in joining the event theres three locations we will be talking. Theres event channels on the discord and matrix (that are bridged to each other). We also have an event community at https://programming.dev/c/events which most canvas posts will go in from now on. Hope to see you all there!
If you want to organize a section of the canvas for your community (e.g. c/godot) you can request a channel for your community on the discord and matrix which will help you organize better. Feel free to reach out to me (Ategon).
If you want to help out the instance itself make sure to join the locations and things will be announced for updates. If you want to help organize things (organizing the instance for the event) feel free to reach out so I can get people to lead the pixel placing for things like when I'm sleeping.
The current design for this year
Should start making some more blog posts on stacks as I come back to be active in the instance again. Took a large-ish break to focus on some game dev and now back to power through things.
Federation from lemmy.world is currently 18 hours behind, will take a bit to fully catch up
After the federation issues the instance had earlier this week (for context see last meta post) its been taking a bit to catch up with all instances fully. Every instance apart from world should have federation fully functional in both directions now.
Federation from our instance to world is also working (so they can see posts the instance makes). Federation from world to our instance is 18 hours behind so we currently don't get posts as they are made (seems some recent comments are coming through for some reason though). This will slowly automatically get fixed over time (probably within a day) and is just due to lemmy.world being big and generating activities quickly enough to keep adding things to the queue of activities while the instance tries to catch up
In other news I'm coming back from taking a break from the instance for awhile and should be making some more posts soon for things like canvas that are coming up as well as some other stuff in my backlog so expect a couple more meta posts today
The Legend of Akio - My teams submission for the 70th Godot Wild Jam
Fight with animal companions against hordes of yokai
![The Legend of Akio by Team Auboreal, Ategon, Iceofspade, Coeur, MossSkull, Dreamscape Mansion, Marco S](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/ee941b6a-135b-4ff0-bab0-617db9630b44.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Bullet heaven type game (similar to vampire suvivors for people whove never heard that genre name before) where you need fight alongside animal companions against hordes of yokai
The theme of the jam was Folklore so we ended up tying it in different ways to Japanese folklore (including basing some of the concept of the game off of Kintaro)
Hope you enjoy :)
The soundtrack is also available to listen to on another itch page https://team-auboreal.itch.io/the-legend-of-akio-ost
