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

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 2 years ago

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

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

[–] aggelalex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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 2 years 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!

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

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I had to look this up.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

am I blind or is there no Ireland representation anywhere

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years 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@feddit.org 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

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

!canvas@toast.ooo for the context

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

[–] verstra@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years 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

[–] Ad5001@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ad5001@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

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

Is there a Fediverse "Place"?

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

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] hitwright@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I do miss Latvia :(
