There already is one that's been going on a couple of years: https://sh.itjust.works/c/canvas@toast.ooo
Why did I not know it?! GREAT!
The folks that host the toast.ooo instance have run an event like that for us the past two summers. Check out !canvas@toast.ooo to see last year's result, and watch for news about the next one.
This reminds me that I need to plan some art for the next event!
Lemmy is nowhere near close to diverting developer resources to that.
Which is why awesome people like @grant@toast.ooo do it instead
I suspect the functionality you're interested in is supplied from https://ourworldoftext.com/home/ and/or https://ourworldofpixels.com/ so I don't think that putting effort into replicating that is the most important thing to work on.
Didn't we already have one last year?
If we did, I never noticed anything.
Dunno how you missed it, it swamped /all for the last two years whilst active.
We sure did, others have already commented.
We also have a slow version of this on one of the !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone communities.
also accessible at ใ.gay
yes, because it is fun, and we don't have to make it different just to be different.
