Reddit has decided to run another edition of r/place in mid July for some unimaginable reason.

It seems to me that it would be stupid to not at least attempt to advertise for Lemmy given the perfect opportunity. Many have expressed concerns about giving reddit more traffic, but a few thousand users is less than a rounding error to reddit. However, getting a few thousand more redditors to move to Lemmy would be great for us.

Hopefully I can get a few sh.itheads to help in this noble endeavor. If not, at least I tried.

    This will open us to an inter site raid. Are we really ready to repel am attack from reddit users /bots?

      Maybe, we’ll be safe because most people from reddit can’t figure out how to join lemmy anyway I think lol

        Facts. Everyone been running around shrieking about how impossible signing up is because you have to checks notes pick a server.

      Why would they raid us when we are in agreement? Redditors hate the API changes just as much as us, I’m not sure why you think they would be hostile to Lemmy. After all, most of us were redditors a few weeks ago and we were open to the idea of Lemmy. There’s got to be more people over there that are on the verge of leaving but just need a little push

        “Redditors” are not a monolithic entity. There are huge swaths of their user base that just don’t give a shit. And by huge I mean massive, like probably tens to hundreds of millions of users who are happy with the official app (🤢🤮) and won’t budge no matter what we say.

        Plus, have you ever tried to coordinate something this large on r/place? Good fucking luck lol. Something this large simply will never get made. Drop the tag line and maybe you have a chance, maybe. I don’t even have a reddit account anymore and I sure as fuck won’t make one just to play into this user activity trap.

          You’re mistaken, this is just a random design I pulled from another group. We don’t have any design, I was hoping somebody would step up and make one.

          I never asked you to make a reddit account. But please, let go of reddit and let the Lemmy wash over you
