HAHAHAH sorry I joined a bit late and didn't feel like there was any space

Edit: I'm the guy who made the greek flag

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I don't know what is more depressing... that the Greek community on Lemmy is so inactive (!greece@lemmy.world ), or that the flag was only done by one user!

I made four flags mostly by myself, idk if there was anybody from Czechia or Romania online for example

I did the Portuguese one almost on my own too, as witnessed the Finnish and Swedish flags eating two Baltic flags that were already fully drawn. The space was definitely too small for the project

That was the canadians fault, they ate one row of flags

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

yep, the right side was difficult to defend! but I'm not mad, their flag with the country outline turned out absolutely beautiful.

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm glad it managed to survive to the end :)

[–] aggelalex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hey there! Thanks for helping complete the flag

the German finance minister during the debt crisis ten years ago and the person who personalized the intransigence of the north against the spending of the south

Funny how Norway is there even though it's not even in the EU

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago

Fucking crane foundations, T'KNOW WHAT A CRANE WEIGHS! Now I'm GETTING WILD HERE! Can't even hold a tape measure, that's why they're not in the EU!

I had to look this up.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

It's a wishlist rather than a snapshot of the now

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

am I blind or is there no Ireland representation anywhere

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh my God. I think the Italian flag confused me (why the hell are there so many flags that are so similar to each other??)

P.S. Cyprus and Malta are also missing, but their four inhabitants were busy that day

[–] Zwiebel 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Netherlands is also missing, because the Dutch used Luxemburgs colours for some reason

[–] Successful_Try543 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think the flag Luxemburg is next to the flag of Belgium and the flag of the Netherlands is on the left above the one of Norway.
~~Lithuania~~ Latvia is also only represented by the dark red of the Danish flag.

[–] hyves@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago

Netherlands, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Estonia got added really late

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Because everyone copied frances flag so it led to similar ones.

[–] Ad5001@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it's still missing a few flags (Ireland, Greece, Lithuania, Letony...). There wasn't much space left around to do them without overriding someone else's art, and too little time to do it (thank you to everyone who went well into the night to make the estonian one <3)

At least Norway didn't end up completly cursed haha.

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't Lithuania the one glued to Spain on the left?

[–] Ad5001@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Whoops! You're absolutely right, I missed it.

!canvas@toast.ooo for the context

If you want to see the final canvas: https://canvas.fediverse.events/

[–] verstra@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are two slovenias, top left. Which is better?

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

I think they are Slovenia and Slovakia, the shade of blue and the shield changes a little, but it is basically the same flag

[–] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is there a Fediverse "Place"?

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

finished for this year, follow the community so you don't miss next year

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !canvas@toast.ooo

[–] hitwright@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I do miss Latvia :(

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Nice to see hungary there... twice? But it is insulting to see denmark eating sweden.
