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.

And based on everyone’s excitement to participate seems like their plan is working.

Agreed... Feels like everyone is falling for this hook, line, and sinker.

The goal is to get people back on Reddit, doesn't matter what you're doing. For how many people are still on Reddit complaining, it clearly doesn't matter that much to people.

99.999% of people never left reddit in the first place... this is our chance to get some of those people that either never heard about Lemmy or were discouraged by the complexity of the whole thing the first time around, but might be primed to make the leap now

Yeah, Nah. Fuck the joint. Haven't logged in since the purge.
