Canvas has ended! Thanks everyone who participated
(thelemmy.club)
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

New Feature: New Pixel Pulses
(thelemmy.club)
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This was originally made as a userscript by soda_cans and was adapted by me into the actual codebase

Filling in backgrounds and white!
(thelemmy.club)
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

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

The Programming.Dev section on canvas has been completed!
(thelemmy.club)
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

Canvas has started, happy placing!
(canvas.fediverse.events)
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

Adding the Godot logo to Canvas!
(programming.dev)
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

Might do another update to add on even more if I get time to do so
Programming.Dev
Im going to be trying to set up a tech corner similar to what Programming.Dev did last year with the dark theme zone. Any groups who want to join on around the area feel free to reach out and we can do stuff like merge templates
I mainly use linkstack https://linkstack.org/, git repo: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack
Theres an instance for the programming.dev instance if you want an example of how it looks https://me.programming.dev (weve got a space-like theme on it)
Its happening once a year so likely in the summer
Im working on another event that may happen next month though depending on if I finish the rest of the things to do in my queue of projects !safe_crackers@programming.dev
(so this and canvas will be 6 months apart from each other)
There is technically a roundabout way you can do it although it involves a bit of actions
I havent fully tested it so may need some variation of the actions to work but:
- Post gets created as normal in the instance
- Post get removed through the lemmy ui so that it sends a removal federation action and removes the post everywhere it was federated to
- Post get unremoved in the database by changing the removed value to false. As this is changing the value itself rather than sending an action this does not federate and only unremoves it for the instance itself
We usually hide bot communities here which would include zerobytes but my hiding system recently broke a bit due to the 0.19 update so I haven't hid any recently
I can fix that and hide the new communities that popped up
(Hiding just means they dont show on the feeds by default but show for someone if they subscribe to them)
Edit: Fixed the issues with my system and hid the main ones that appeared in the scaled feed, ill hide more as I see them
Edit #2: There is also a way to block an instance like you said by going to your user settings and then the blocks tab on web but this is one case that should be getting handled by us
Looks like a camelCase variable to me so its likely just a temporary word they replace with the actual bot name but something went wrong and it didn't replace it properly leading to the temporary text showing instead
There could be some other reasons but the actual cause cant really be determined without looking at the source code
This is a collecting community that gets every topic in the instance (so people can go to it and then be naturally sent into the other ones in the instance) so questions in here are fine.
The main question communities in the instance though are:
!no_stupid_questions@programming.dev
!ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev
!cs_career_questions@programming.dev
they do an allowlist rather than a blocklist (defederate with everyone by default, explicitly allow certain ones). the two were removed from their allowlist
They defederated from both programming.dev and sh.itjust.works recently since they held a vote and they had enough upvotes to do so. Reasoning for programming.dev was due to people in our instance coming in there with supposedly bad takes but I feel like thats a major overreaction to block an entire instance of people with different views (with the different views appearing due to it not being political at all inside the instance) due to a couple people going in there instead of just moderating the individual users. The message to defederate from us also only has 13 upvotes and was both programming.dev and sh.itjust.works which I feel isnt really a majority opinion of their instance if they want one since it confounds the upvotes of two different instances and is a relatively low amount for their monthly active users

Theres technically a code review community at !code_review@programming.dev although ive seen some people also post code reviews in the language/engine communities
