Hello all, I'm sharing this here because I think it is a fun and interesting initiative that users might appreciate knowing about.

The instance https://toast.ooo/ is running an event similar to Reddit's /r/place. Here you can find their post announcement. The canvas can be reached here: https://canvas.toast.ooo

If you are not familiar with /r/place: the idea is that every user gets to place pixels on a canvas. After placing a pixel, there is a 1 minute cool-down before you are able to place the next pixel.

To log-in, you fill-in your instance's name and username, and you are sent a code as a private message which you then use to authenticate. So the method of authentication does not expose your username and password combination to a third party.

I find it cool how third-party events like this one can be integrated into the decentralized Lemmyverse without requiring active input from instance admins.

Is our instance federating properly with toast.ooo? Just now I tried to look up a thread someone posted there but can't pull it up here.

Yes, we should be federating properly.

Which post? How did you try to fetch it?

Oh, I realized that the post was made by a user who's not on toast.ooo but I had copied the toast.ooo link.

Ah, yes, it can be confusing! That's when the 'fedi-star' link is useful :)
