Sorry for the super delayed response, yesterday was very very busy for me and i couldn't respond
There doesn't appear to be any failed deliveries, so I'm assuming it was a temporary failure in delivery
If you do notice any other posts failing to deliver I can also look into them
You can post it in this community, message me on Matrix @grant:aftermath.gg, or message me on Discord (grahhnt)
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll take a peek at it and get back to you :)
if you notice any issues feel free to comment them on this post and i'll look into them
We're back!
Thanks for sticking through the migration, it took extra long this time 😅
The VM I'm running Lemmy in ran out of space so every image attachment is now being hosted in Wasabi so things might be a bit faster now :)
consider donating via Stripe or LiberaPay 💜
toast.ooo will be going offline 6am UTC for migrations (5 hours from now)

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
posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, [follow t

https://canvas.fediverse.events/
i'm planning to sell canvas posters to help fund the project and any future events i would love to run
stickers for the following instances will also be sold to support them:
i've spent a little over half the last year to rewrite canvas from the ground up and it's been very very fun running the event so far, stressful, but fun :)
if you're interested in getting a print, drop your country below so i can calculate everything and make sure it's available
if everything goes to plan the prints should be available after the event ends 🤞

CANVAS PAUSED
i'm fixing some performance issues
i'll keep this community updated if anything changes
i'll also be extending the event time to hopefully compensate for the lost time
sorry for the downtime 🙏
48 hours remain! & Canvas 24 hour timelapse
oh hey the canvas also looks a bit different...
If this is your first Canvas post you've seen...
Canvas is a collaborative pixel canvas, much similar to r/place
Everything was rebooting, it should work now 👍
Sometimes the canvas takes a bit to load
Canvas 2024 is live!
Rocky start, but we're here! also making this almost an hour late due to the rocky start
Canvas is a collaborative pixel canvas similar to Reddit's r/place, except it is open to (almost) the entire Fediverse!
The event is going on from July 12th 4am UTC to July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours)
🌎 https://canvas.fediverse.events
Main community: !canvas@toast.ooo Matrix: #canvas:aftermath.gg Discord (bridged): https://discord.gg/mEUqXZw8kR Microblog Announcements: https://social.fediverse.events/@canvas
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
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)
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)
Canvas in roughly a month 👀
https://canvas.fediverse.events
✨ this year’s event also supports the entire fediverse not just Lemmy!
(you have to be able to make/receive text posts, like mastodon, lemmy, pixelfed, etc) (peertube accounts will not work)
you can get update announcements on other fedi platforms with @canvas@fediverse.events
link
oh shit i didn't see this notification 😅
keep an eye out 👀
Oh hey it’s also toast’s 1 year as well 🎉
toast.ooo is now at lemmy version 0.19.4 🎉
if you notice any issues lmk
@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
why didn't lemmy community actors get put on a subdomain?
always wondered this, but kept forgetting to post it
eg users would be on @grant@toast.ooo
and a community would be on @canvas@group.toast.ooo
or something like that
then it would still follow the AP spec but still allow for identical identifiers (like a user account being @sc07@toast.ooo
and a community also being !sc07@toast.ooo
)
It appears that proton's is only for them and they don't offer it to other websites unfortunately
yeah, it is
it's just a site to track uptime for lemmy instances
