i’m the canvas guy (!canvas@toast.ooo)
Mastodon - @grant@grants.cafe
I added an .ics link to canvas.fediverse.events but it looks like that doesn’t have great support :/
it’ll be 72 hours (12th @ midnight - 14th @ 11:49pm)
completely forgot to include that in the post
for some reason this post didn’t get federated to toast, weird
July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC (the countdown is also on the website – https://canvas.fediverse.events)
it’ll be 500x500 (from 1000x1000 last year)
I already have plans in the work to sell Canvas prints of this year’s and last year’s 🙏🎉
the proceeds from the print sales (and possibly other items) will go to funding Canvas itself (and maybe other fediverse.events things)
(more details related to this will come out within the next month most likely)
i should probably create a new thread, but i was thinking about doing that (the other games idea)
if you have ideas for any you can dm them to me via matrix or discord (grahhnt
)
you’re right! totally forgot to post it there
here’s the new post there: https://toast.ooo/post/3741538
oh shit i didn’t see this notification 😅
keep an eye out 👀
Oh hey it’s also toast’s 1 year as well 🎉
@user
works on all fediverse platforms, but !community
does not
i was proposing for this to be a possible solution to make it work across all existing platforms w/o requiring all the other platforms to support lemmy’s system
if using lemmy, it could automatically make this change
this would primarily be used by other fedi platforms to easily differentiate community & users
eg if i followed @sc07@group.toast.ooo
on mastodon it would for sure follow !sc07@toast.ooo and not @sc07@toast.ooo (an account with the same identifier)
but if you search a community up on another fedi platform, it won’t always pick the community or the user (if they have the same name)
as far as the other platforms know, there’s one actor but points to two different accounts
afaik the webfinger spec doesn’t allow for multiple actors having the same identifier, like how lemmy does it (here’s what gets returned when a username matches a community and user)
how I was thinking about it the instance owners would pick the subdomain the communities would be placed on, everything would still route through the main host but external interactions (like following a community) would be routed through the subdomain
eg for blahaj.zone’s lemmy instance it could be setup as users sending in @lemmy.blahaj.zone
and communities ending in @group.lemmy.blahaj.zone
or something like that
not every community would have it’s own subdomain, no
community actors would just have the hostname part be a different domain eg
users:
@UserA@toast.ooo
@UserB@toast.ooo
communities:
@CommunityA@group.toast.ooo
@CommunityB@group.toast.ooo
It appears that proton’s is only for them and they don’t offer it to other websites unfortunately
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
There’s no announced date yet
I’m still keeping my plan of announcing the date 30 days before Canvas starts to allow for groups to form and whatnot
Progress updates are being put in the Canvas Matrix space and Discord server if you want to keep even more up to date
I’m finishing up my college classes this month so development will speed up once those are done
when the event goes live, it’ll be a website you can login to and place pixels
the login system sends a DM to your account with a code to verify your identity, no passwords are used
