Is it just me or is this going way better than r/place? (pawb.social)

Whenever Reddit hosted r/place, it got instantly dominated by streamers and massive clans covering the canvas in their insignia, anybody else who wanted to draw be damned. I remember in 2022 I was working with a smaller subreddit to try to put a 16x16 graphic somewhere unobtrusive and could scarcely put 3 pixels down before getting overwritten by the German flag that was already taking up 1/3 of the canvas.

On Canvas yesterday, somebody put up a ~50 pixels wide drawing of Princess Celestia fighting Nightmare Moon (something that wouldn't have survived 20 seconds on Reddit before being vandalized) and the people drawing the osu! logo went behind it!

I'm just kind of amazed and stunned and glad that we seem to be infinitely better at silently collaborating and not stepping on each other than the people on That Other Site who are obsessed with pointless internet clout.

On the contrary, I've been unable to make an account and anytime I visited the site it's been 50/50 if it was up or down

What's been your problem with making an account? If you're trying to do it from Lemmy, it should be very straight forward (you just need to be able to receive or send DMs, so if your instance has disallowed that somehow, I guess that would cause a problem.)

I was an idiot this whole time and did not enter the subdomain of my instance

Least you solved the problem! :)

Ive been having issues with any fediverse link with a subdomain. I let the devs know.

Lemmy.world worked but a localish mastodon with subdomain would not work. It might also be user error.

There's a (very) active Matrix server for the event, with folks willing to help troubleshoot, if you're still interested in sorting it out.

Thanks might do that later. Lemmy works so we are ok.
