the event has concluded! thank you all for participating!
this has been incredibly fun to run, as it was last year (although there was a bit more hiccups this time around)
⚠ Crossposters: link back to this post as it will be updated with more information ⚠
Event date: July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC til ~~July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours)~~ July 16th @ 4am UTC (72 hours + 24 hours) (it was extended due to a massive performance issue that caused major downtime)
Future events
I'm planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned 👀
If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)
Supporting the project 💜💜💜
I have spent a little over 6 months completely rebuilding Canvas from the ground up to support future features, and i would love to work on more fediverse events
poster sales
posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, follow the Mastodon account or send an email to
[email protected]
💜the shop site will also include stickers for the following instances:
- mastodon.world
- lemmy.world
- blahaj.zone
- toot.community
- toast.ooo
- Canvas 2024
✨ I wanted to have the shop setup before the event ending, but i couldn't get it setup quick enough unfortunately
direct donations
Donating via Stripe is the best way to donate directly
contributing to the code
canvas is open-source and is on a self-hosted gitlab instance at https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas
at time of writing; the gitlab server randomly restarts due to resource limits
Timelapses
i need to rewrite the timelapse script as some people pointed out some weirdness with the other ones (that's also what delayed this post by almost 3 hours)
Data
The database has all of the pixel placements, so it's possible to regenerate the log file, but that's currently not implemented (so nothing is lost) Format:
{timestamp}\t{username}\t{action}\t{x}\t{y}\t{hex}
(for the most part)
- Raw pixel log file (could be missing pixels due to crashes, i'm unable to confirm at time of writing) (47mb)
- Possibly patched pixel log file (contains the first 10ish minutes that got dropped from the raw file + an attempted patch, but could include duplicated pixels) (47mb)
chat.fediverse.events
This will stay up as long as i can keep it running for, i'll make some improvements eventually as well
tools (like a canvas atlas)
if anyone is wanting to build something for canvas, i'd be willing to host the project & give it a subdomain of
.fediverse.events
just send me a matrix dm, a dm on discord (
grahhnt
) or an email[email protected]

Kann man das Ergebnis nun irgendwo noch anschauen? also etwas größer als in dem Screenshot?
Wenn jemand ein Canvas Atlas baut dann sicherlich, ansonsten gibt's später sicher wie such letztes Jahr ein Vollbild PNG sowie mehrere Timelapse Videos wie das Canvas schlussendlich sich entwickelt hat.
