With the flood of new people to Lemmy, I think everyone is busy with making sure that everything is working as intended, the servers are running, and other basic needs. So in my opinion it might be a good idea to bring it up at a future date (I might be wrong idfk) but anyways I love the idea of big events like r/place offered I think it would be great

haven't thought about that. stability is priority no 1...
but when things are sorted out, it might be a cool project, to get some more people interested in lemmy and open source in general.
I donβt know if the activity pub protocol would support something like that, something to think about in federated spaces
IIRC the place code was open source and there's a couple of other similar versions online already.
We could organise to run one once a year or something, I'm sure.
that's a great idea, but organising a place-like equivalent on the fediverse is probably low down on the priority list and requires a lot of work to implement.
absolutely agreed! it's still early-days, but as an example https://pxls.space/ has it's source code on GitHub https://github.com/xSke/Pxls
I was more meant to create our own yearly event where we create a central "lemmyplace" instance; rather than a decentralized version, which given the data iops required, would probably not be feasible or desirable.
oh wow I just realised you've been around for 13 years. I didn't know the fediverse existed in 2010!
Hehe, when you run your own instance, you get certain freedoms, that might let you update the DB directly. I saw another user that set their date to their DOB, but I just set mine to my Reddit cakeday.
haha, i see!
wow notifications are so fast β‘ federation πͺ
What did you enjoy about it
I enjoy marsey being erased by reddit admins, video making it to the all time top of r/place, and making people aware of rdrama.net
building cool "art" in cooperation with strangers from the internet.
oh and the cannada flag...
Canada finally getting the leaf right was cathartic.
Would need to be hosted on a seperate website entirely. Thats all reddit really did when you think about it. And instead of it being tied to reddit you just have it open to everyone who wishes to participate.
absolutly.
i was thinking about one beefy instance or something. for authentification the lemmy account would work perfectly, as i understand it.
Ooh! That's a neat question.
I'm going to say not on Lemmy (since Lemmy by definition is for what we're doing right now), but yes on the Fediverse. And maybe you could embed it in Lemmy somehow.
Yes I would also love that, but I think it's going to be some time before fediverse is ready for it. One day I'm sure.
