turns out I did my math wrong, so it’s a little less than 30 days

✨ this year’s event also supports the entire fediverse not just Lemmy!
(you have to be able to make/receive text posts, like mastodon, lemmy, pixelfed, etc) (peertube accounts will not work)
you can get update announcements on other fedi platforms with @canvas@fediverse.events

Nice! Hope this time the message reaches more people, last year I saw a lot of commenters that would’ve participated but didn’t know about it.
You can also share this in [email protected], there are a lot of people there :)
you’re right! totally forgot to post it there
here’s the new post there: https://toast.ooo/post/3741538
Super stoked
Hooray, Spread it around everyone! :3
Wait, it’s been a year already since the last one? Damn
Last year I was bothered by the randomness of fonts even in single words and sentences, and started that font guide thing. Immediately afterwards I tried to plan a nicer looking frame for it that can fit more, and have it for this event if anyone wants that or cares.
I also want to get anyone’s opinions on changing letters to be better if you have ideas, because I’m sure I’m not the best at this but I want it to be appealing enough to use.
The main 2 things I tried to focus on is readability, and making sure each symbol can fit in 5x3 pixels.
Looks great! You could probably even squeeze in a semicolon, square brackets, and curly braces.
How big will the canvas be this year? There was a fair bit of whitespace last year, but even with minimal notice limited only to Lemmy, it was almost the perfect amount for everything to fit without overlapping
it’ll be 500x500 (from 1000x1000 last year)
Can you elaborate on the decision to make it that much smaller?

Whooo I’m excited!
Thank you! Been looking forward to another one.
Heck yes
Yay, I’m so happy this is returning!
Anyone made a calendar invite
I added an .ics link to canvas.fediverse.events but it looks like that doesn’t have great support :/
Thanks!
Great! How much time will it last?
it’ll be 72 hours (12th @ midnight - 14th @ 11:49pm)
completely forgot to include that in the post
Woo! I can’t believe it’s nearly been a year already
