What do you guys think? It would definitely help bring more attention to Lemmy
Some people just can’t let go. They break up, but stalk their ex on social media for the rest of their lives.
😂 it’s just fun following the drama and how its collapse will unfold, especially with how comically villainous Reddit has been these past weeks. It’s almost a source of entertainment
Ok, I’ll start.
.. 'Did you use tabs or spaces?
Come on man, you trying to start a war among programmers with that comment?
Let’s compromise and use both!
We should fully ignore any reddit publicity stunts
No. (1) We really don’t need to duplicate everything Reddit does and (2) there’s orders of magnitude fewer people here, so it would likely be lame.
I am all for writing “Lemmy” in Reddit’s own r/place, to raise awareness. But trying to copy it in Lemmy? Nah.
No, traffic for reddit, even negative traffic, is still traffic. They are only doing this to draw people further into the walled garden
ooh we should do that, but o ly for people who still use reddit. No use rejoining
I’ve seen a few lemmy discussions on this so far, and honestly the best option I’ve seen is to just ignore Place.
To participate, even to advertise lemmy, we would have to engage, which is what reddit is looking for. Even then, admins will likely take the reigns and prevent any serious effort from being fruitful. There’s just not that much benefit and plenty of downside.
It’s attention seeking behavior. Ignoring it and letting the event fall flat (or at least as flat as is in our power) would send so much more of a message than “join lemmy” or “fuck spez”.
Good luck “letting the event fall flat” when 99% of users are still on Reddit. Advertising lemmy on r/place seems more helpful towards the migration.
Exactly. This event is an effort for them to prove that the platform is just as active and enjoyable as it was before the chaos.
We’ll figure out something original. For now, I’d first like the have basic quality of life features, things like polls and stuff like that.
I think if a thing like Place were made for Lemmy, it would need to be so different to fit the values of the Fediverse that it would need a new name. Different rules, different way of interaction, different output.
I agree, it should be something unique to make our own brand.
Why not just use reddit’s place to bring attention to Lemmy?
I’m baffled by the pushback from some users, I guess people still have PTSD from reddit. From a Lemmy-centric mindset, participating in this is an easy layup to grow the userbase. But we don’t have much time and we don’t have many users so it’ll probably have to be modest.
Because most of us have prolly deleted their account and have no intention to cause an upwards blip in spez’s usage stats.
Let’s produce some content here 👍🏻
Seems a bit late to organize something now when /r/place will happen tomorrow
Yeah :( I just heard of r/place coming back this morning, haven’t been following anymore Reddit news since moving here
No. We’re still trying to find our own identity here which will take some time yet so it’s to be expected that many things are done as they were on reddit. But the last thing we need to do now is go out of our way to imitate, as fun as r/place might have been and as edgy as some people may think it would be to spite reddit. We’ll find our own things.
I did a shitty version (64x64, shitty color picker). But it sends every change to a 64x64 led matrix.
Also it’s in my sons room, so NO, you won’t get the url XD
“Daddy, your Internet friends sure like drawing rocket ships a lot”.
Well. He’s old enough to know what those rockets are. Also: That thing was full of rockets on the first day he shared the address and I totally knew it was gonna happen ;)
I’m more afraid of worse things strangers would be able to post directly to his wall.
Fuck that
And while we’re at it, adding 10million more users would be great too.
But both of these don’t just happen.
Adding 10 million users tomorrow would be a disaster lol
Thank god the trash tier users aren’t as appearent here, i was leaving Reddit a couple of times before, that wasn’t a community, that was pure toxicity
help, I agree with both viewpoints
