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.
I’ve seen these happen every year but have never actually participated. But this feels like a worthy cause.
Then you missed out on the controversy of the admins changing stuff they didn’t like in the past then!
This will be no different.
But at least it was controversial. Maybe they’ll streisand effect us more into public consciousness
Good point. It certainly had the Streisand effect last time.
I participated a little bit, these felt like they were the best of these sort of “events”. If we do this I’ll definitely come click a few times to help the lemmy banner.
