Everything was rebooting, it should work now 👍

that’s strange, you might want to contact your instance admins then

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)

oh shit i didn’t see this notification 😅

keep an eye out 👀

Oh hey it’s also toast’s 1 year as well 🎉

After taking a glance at the AppStore page for it, it looks like direct tipping/paywalled content instead of advertisements but I could be wrong

Tipping/paywalling seems like a step in the right direction, avoiding advertisements

Something that I’d love to see in a fediverse server that exposes the client-to-server standard of creating statuses instead of just the Mastodon API

Mastodon on iOS adds a button to the URL share sheet to open any url within Mastodon, and if it’s an ActivityPub object, will load the post inside Mastodon

Does the Android version have something similar?

It was really easy to update as well this time around

Lemmy instances can enable an option to prevent non-admins from creating communities, so if it isn’t available on your instance (usually in the header area on the website) then your instance admins have disabled that option

Video hosting is a very expensive process and peertube does a lot more stuff to video files compared to Lemmy/mastodon

I’m not sure if this would be feasible for development or peertube hosts but idk, it would be a neat idea though

Pixelfed also uses PHP/Laravel in the backend

The instances page at join-lemmy is completely automated

This definitely needs to get pushed to the two main devs for lemmy as they control that website

No worries man, it’s a definite change from how the internet currently exists (i’ll make a landing page explaining all these in more detail in the coming days)

The first link, !canvas@toast.ooo, will open up the community (the Lemmy equivalent of Reddit’s “subreddits”). Being subscribed to that community will allow posts to the community to show up in your home feed

Matrix

Matrix is a chat protocol that is a federated live chat system, the Matrix protocol is not ActivityPub (what Lemmy, Mastodon and others run on) it runs on it’s own protocol. The most popular client for Matrix is Element. You can host your own homeserver using Synapse, but it’s highly recommended to use their main instance (matrix.org – it’s also the default option when you open Element in browser).

Matrix is setup in a way that you don’t have to worry about missing old messages when you are on a new instance. When you join a new room (“channel”) in Matrix, you will automatically be able to read old chat messages by backfilling old messages. Matrix also runs a very convenient website to share rooms with other people (matrix.to – which is linked in my original comment) that will open a list of apps to open the room with (no vendor lock in).

Matrix is designed in a way were it doesn’t matter what instance you are registered under. No matter the instance, you’ll be able to read the chat, history and participate in live conversation.

Hopefully this cleaned some stuff up for you and like I said at the start of the post, I’ll be making a landing page also explaining this stuff to help other people navigate this as well :)

That seemed to be a major hiccup this time around, getting the word out there

my plan for next year’s is to give 30 days and 7 day notice before the event starts

make sure you’re subscribed to !canvas@toast.ooo & in the Matrix space so you don’t miss it next year

I ran a fork of pxls for this event and they have their own instance at https://pxls.space, and compared to pixelcanvas.io, is moderated (if that’s what you’re looking for) :)

fixed 👍

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 😉

Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community (!canvas@toast.ooo) and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!

It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!

Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community (!canvas@toast.ooo) and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!
