I guess that we have done more than I or @[email protected] thought we would get done.
I think we are off to help the Aussie lot in the bottom left for now.
Well done folks. Our little bit of canvas:

Update just after 12:
keep it going
Here's what I'm going for next:
Template: https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/682f9f88-3be5-4478-896e-2d10f5f862cf.png
Position (332,467) (above the others)
Seems like it got a bit crowded around our area since last night
It sure did! I'm glad we got a good outline on the new kiwi before going to bed!
There seemed to be a NZ flag developing under the kiwis, I have startes to pick out the corners of the union jack under the blue pony.
Please dont cover the pony, QR code or the 'never gona give you up'
H:240 V:610 Size:118
The stars won't lign up nut can be used for the union jack
Odd that I can't get it to load your URL. Is your server set to only be accessible from NZ? I've uploaded here, so people can use this template URL: https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/20e09c99-080a-4ba6-a9ee-99225138ca60.png
Although it's not quite lining up with reality, it's good enough to get the job done.
We could redo the stars.... they're pretty janky right now
I'll follow whatever pattern someone gives me :)
OK, what now?
Hmm I'm not at home to pull something together. Any suggestions? Another logo from another sub? Put a border around what we have?
There does seem to be plenty of space above for something big.
Laser kiwi?
Edit: OK, I stole this from an old Reddit Post:
Template URL: https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/fd451bcb-56e1-4f32-aa99-25a3947175ba.png
Position: 335, 517
Doing my best to help the laser kiwi now that I've done a QR and URL for no.lastname.nz
The war of the kiwi icons ;)
@[email protected] and I are above/below each other
War? I thought it was more like a kiwi party?
Edit: Finished the first one, on to the second with top left at (325, 555)
spoiler
The Lemmy.nz logo seemed way too hard to do, so I've started doing this smaller version of the [email protected] logo with the bottom left corner at (379,574):
To help, the cog button shows some settings, one of them lets you put in an overlay image. Use the following URL which is a life size image (and don't forget to adjust the opacity): https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/6dca54d2-d383-4547-97d3-b740f78544a2.png I still have motivation I'll probably add "[email protected]" to the ~~right~~ left of it. (Edit: woke up this morning and there's no longer space on the right, so will go for the left)
Life size for overlay: https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/53cfe54f-acd4-4d36-ab26-5e43559466e9.png
Anyone else is free to join in and help, or to do their own thing.
Holy shit the bronies really went all out
Haha they sure did!
Awesome, well done
I'm using this font to make a lemmy.nz above the NZ logo: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/811116/4x4_pixel_font
Or might use some letters from here: https://www.deviantart.com/whipptron/art/4x4-Pixel-alphabet-plus-numbers-313579218 (M is hard)
Edit: Done!
Done!
Amazing! That was quick!
Ms are hard! (And W)
It actually doesn't look too bad using the second link
I think they made the canvas a bit too big...
Or maybe it's a social commentary on over-population or something
Yeah I agree. I've seen other comments on that too. They have already changed the cooldown so you can place each pixel more often (down to 30 seconds).
It's nice being able to make something without having to compete for space with others, though.
They are among us
Doesn't seem like the Aussies are doing anything? @[email protected]?
I'm far too disorganised to coordinate that. Though I'm sure someone from /c/Melbourne will 🙂
Odd, I'm sure I saw they had a Matrix chat set up in the Canvas matrix space
Could be that I'm just missing what they're doing....?
Looks like they are doing a massive flag in the bottom left. Just may have underestimated how many people they need to fill in all those pixels...
Yeah given how long our little laser kiwi flag is taking, theirs will take forever!
I'm doing my part 🫡
I'm helping where ever I can when I can remember :)
Thanks!
