I didn’t even know it existed so they clearly need to advertise it better.
Funny. I knew all about it and saw mentions and promotions leading up to it and during it multiple times. I’m guessing some time zone displacement or something? Maybe some community separations?
I posted here about this exact question already, but it was very difficult to get instance admin’s attention 😅
I’m an instance admin and I’ve never heard of this matrix room before. Did you try advertising it on the official matrix Space for Lemmy?
I didn’t advertise it in the general project chat, I sent it in the general admin chat
my reasoning was to “surprise” the general users of lemmy but still give admins plenty of time to prepare for it
if you’re an instance admin, there is a Matrix room specifically for instance admins & canvas here
Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!
In hindsight a smaller canvas might have made it a bit busier, but I’ll tell you what: I’m impressed the effort has been translated over from rPlace. Run this one again in a year or so and I can imagine it being way more popular.
Yeah, I’m seeing a lot of white. r/place loses all the white within minutes
I do plan on running one next year, possibly with a smaller canvas
but with the amount of people interested after the event concluded, we might stick with the same size for next year, but who knows right now 😉

Seems like a good balance-- big enough to not devolve into territory battles, small enough to look full in the end.
The fun thing is seeing what content is missing-- it seems like some fandoms never really migrated to the Fediverse. For me, a lack of Genshin stands out; anything this big usually gets a Fallen Qiqi out of principle.
TIL we had our own Place going on and I somehow missed it. 😭
It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!

What?? When was this? Aw, man!
When’s the next one?

You can make a federated link by going !canvas@toast.ooo rather than posting the link, makes it much easier for users to join from LW!
