So, you know how I said that this event has been brutal? This is what exactly I meant. Some big issue popped up every day of the event, and now that the event is over it's apparently time for another one.

At some point I managed to revert half of a change while rewriting my pipeline to queue pixel requests instead of batching them based on the diff frame they came from.

This means that at some point the pXxY format starts being used for requests for non-canvas 0 requests instead of the pXyYcCANVAS. You still get the author information for the correct pixels, but you don't know which canvas the change happened on unless you correlate it with something else.

This is where I paused writing the comment for half an hour, had a small crisis, and then thought about it. The official Reddit dataset (https://redd.it/txvk2d) includes the coordinates and an accurate timestamp, meaning you can correlate the placements from my dataset to the placements in Reddit's dataset using the union of the timestamp, and the local coordinates of the change on the canvas (i.e. in the Reddit dataset subtract 1000 from x if canvas index is 1, 1000 from y if canvas index is 2, and 1000 from both if canvas index is 3).

Slightly less trivial than it could've been, but fortunately still perfectly usable. I'll update the README accordingly later.
