336 hours remain | instance sticker sale info!
Canvas happens in 336 hours! (or 2 weeks, take your pick)
Countdown • Matrix Space • Discord • Mastodon Announcements
At the end of the event, i’ll be selling prints of the Canvas to help fund the project 🎉 (and i’ll also be selling last year’s prints, but this year only 👀)
details for the sale have not been announced (the post will get pinned in [email protected] & posted on the mastodon account)
I am also planning to sell various instance’s logos as vinyl stickers, with the profits going towards those instances
If you are an instance admin and want to join in on that, send me a message on Matrix (@grant:aftermath.gg), send me an email ([email protected]) or send me a message on Discord (grahhnt), whatever works best for you
(or send this post to your favorite instance that you want to get a sticker from (and support them))
Instances joining the sticker sale:
- lemmy.world
- mastodon.world
- toot.community
- blahaj.zone / lemmy.blahaj.zone
Edit: rephrased the image
when the event goes live, it'll be a website you can login to and place pixels
the login system sends a DM to your account with a code to verify your identity, no passwords are used
hi i'm the guy behind canvas & also the admin on toast.ooo
last couple days i've been fixing things w/ my lemmy instance, but it should load now
(ik it's like 4 days late lol)
I added an .ics link to canvas.fediverse.events but it looks like that doesn't have great support :/
Yeah, sorry
I haven’t had a lot of time to fix the bot
it'll be 72 hours (12th @ midnight - 14th @ 11:49pm)
completely forgot to include that in the post
for some reason this post didn't get federated to toast, weird
July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC (the countdown is also on the website -- https://canvas.fediverse.events)
I already have plans in the work to sell Canvas prints of this year's and last year's 🙏🎉
the proceeds from the print sales (and possibly other items) will go to funding Canvas itself (and maybe other fediverse.events things)
(more details related to this will come out within the next month most likely)
i should probably create a new thread, but i was thinking about doing that (the other games idea)
if you have ideas for any you can dm them to me via matrix or discord (grahhnt)
you're right! totally forgot to post it there
here's the new post there: https://toast.ooo/post/3741538

@user works on all fediverse platforms, but !community does not
i was proposing for this to be a possible solution to make it work across all existing platforms w/o requiring all the other platforms to support lemmy's system
if using lemmy, it could automatically make this change
this would primarily be used by other fedi platforms to easily differentiate community & users
eg if i followed @[email protected] on mastodon it would for sure follow [email protected] and not @[email protected] (an account with the same identifier)
but if you search a community up on another fedi platform, it won't always pick the community or the user (if they have the same name)
as far as the other platforms know, there's one actor but points to two different accounts
afaik the webfinger spec doesn't allow for multiple actors having the same identifier, like how lemmy does it (here's what gets returned when a username matches a community and user)
not every community would have it's own subdomain, no
community actors would just have the hostname part be a different domain eg
users:
communities:
why didn't lemmy community actors get put on a subdomain?
always wondered this, but kept forgetting to post it
eg users would be on @[email protected] and a community would be on @[email protected] or something like that
then it would still follow the AP spec but still allow for identical identifiers (like a user account being @[email protected] and a community also being [email protected])
It appears that proton's is only for them and they don't offer it to other websites unfortunately
What is the best captcha service for privacy?
basically what the title says
the ones i'm aware of:
- google's recaptcha
cloudflare'shcaptcha
cloudflare being better for privacy compared to google, but still not great afaik
How does instance uptime decide when to show in-app? toast.ooo is listed on lemmy-status.org but doesn’t show up when using Mlem
I created a Content Warning PeerTube instance to share clips from the game
i love content warning on steam and noticed the in-game youtube clone can be used directly in a domain, and i immediately thought of peertube
this peertube instance is intended for the game clips that are generated in-game such as this one
i'd love to add a steam login feature to expand but we'll see lol
enjoy
Can the Vision Pro deceive Grey's perception of temperature? Does Myke truly need an office separate from his home? And how quickly after waking do Myke and Grey check their phones?
the bot is broken, but there's a new Cortex

You can also message me on Matrix
we need a logo (and header) so you should drop your suggestions in the comments
here's my terrible canvas logo
Feature Request?: Something similar to RPAN / Vertical video support
Not entirely sure how that would work, but it would be a cool idea anyhow
Maybe a hook into Peertube or Owncast? although hooking into those might be out of scope for a Lemmy client idk
Edit: RPAN was Reddit's short-lived livestreaming experiment, which ended up being killed due to the cost of running a service like that.
How i envision it working within Mlem is that it would display an in-app embed (or native support) for videos hosted via PeerTube or Owncast in the feed (possibly taking up the native resolution / aspect ratio)
To improve discoverability, mlem would (theoretically) recommend communities that are tagged (probably via a #tag in the description) or something like that
Proposed better Mastodon + Lemmy parity | Attachments
