Someone has organised a Lemmy version of r/place at https://lemmy.nz/post/741632

The site uses your lemmy account, but doesn't require your password. Instead it will send a message to your lemmy account to verify it's you. I had to try a couple of times to get it working but it worked in the end.

Here's what I'm going for next:

kiwi bird cut into kiwi fruit

Position (332,467) (above the others)

Seems like it got a bit crowded around our area since last night

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It sure did! I'm glad we got a good outline on the new kiwi before going to bed!

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:

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'

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.

The war of the kiwi icons ;)

@[email protected] and I are above/below each other

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

War? I thought it was more like a kiwi party?

Woo! I've edited my post last night with a new pattern to add to the left hand side, which is underway already

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I got bored, space invaders

Edit: Finished the first one, on to the second with top left at (325, 555)

spoilerThe 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)

grid view of !newzealand@lemmy.nz pattern

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.
