    I love the fediverse. I live in Canada. I don’t get what this is. Can someone do an ELI5?

      It’s inspired by a game / social experiment Reddit did a few years ago, where every account can only place one pixel every now and then. Over time, people can work together to make different designs.

      Often we had a Canadian flag, and various symbols for different Canadian provinces, schools, or sports teams.

      That’s the idea here, only this one is open to the entire fediverse. I imagine it didn’t get much advertising prior to the launch, and so it’s quieter than the usual activity on the fediverse.

      Right now I think we’re looking for a design template to follow, so that we can work on something more effectively :)
