July 18th (4am UTC) to July 20th (also 4am UTC)

Canvas 2026 is in roughly 30 days!

Canvas is an annual event hosted for the Fediverse, allowing everyone to contribute to a pixel canvas, one pixel at a time

Check out the website for a live countdown, login testing, chat room (matrix/discord), and what last year's Canvas was!

If you are a developer, check out the source, and if you're a Fediverse app dev check the docs to add Canvas functionality to your app πŸ‘€

Mlem is adding support for Fediverse Events within their app ✨

!fediverse@lemmy.world I was going to do some quick art on that test canvas, I even logged in (kind of liked the federated login mechanism), but the canvas is limited to a 500x500px area (not boundary-less as most real-time collaborative drawing canvases out there), so it means one must draw on top of someone else's drawing in order to draw, and this is something I, a non-competitive person, definitely don't see myself doing because I know how much effort it took for them to do it, even if everything is inherently ephemeral in this existence. So much nice drawings there already.

    I'm having trouble logging in. Is Piefed supported?

    Well, the way their login system works is by having a bot send you a DM, so it theoretically should work with any fediverse platform that supports DMs.
