What do you guys think? It would definitely help bring more attention to Lemmy

    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.
