What do you guys think? It would definitely help bring more attention to Lemmy
Instead of place, we can call it area. Or venue.
Or a den
It will be our ‘Lemmy den’
Cliff face. Lemmy cliff face.
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
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.
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 👍🏻
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.
Ok, I’ll start.

/r/place is impressive since we can see how incredibly many people get together to create something, and it lives with tons of active users.
Even though lemmy is rising, I don’t think lemmy has nearly enough users to actually make a copy of the concept.
But can we be a bit more creative? Lemmy isn’t Reddit - it would be great if we could make something original instead.
We should fully ignore any reddit publicity stunts
Are you going to code it? You have like 10 hours to get it finished.
And while we’re at it, adding 10million more users would be great too.
But both of these don’t just happen.
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
Adding 10 million users tomorrow would be a disaster lol
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
I think you’ve confused shitty with awesome. How does that work? Like through a pi or something?
At least it was a fun father-son-project. I wrote the server part, he the client part.
First there is the web frontend (sending click requests to a script that saves the clicked pixel in a database, heartbeating to a script to refresh the “image”)
You can emulate the rgb output:
Then there is the 64x64 RGB matrix and a raspy connected to it. It is quite hollow on it’s back, giving the raspy some place to hide:
The code on the raspy connects to the server and refreshes it’s image, if a change happened.
I also “hid” the matrix inside a canvas frame, to help diffusing the single RGBs a bit:
This is, how it looks in the dark:
Sorry for the bad image quality.
Fuck that
help, I agree with both viewpoints
