Why not just use reddit’s place to bring attention to Lemmy?

!place_join_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.

happyhippo,

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 👍🏻

6mementomori,

help, I agree with both viewpoints

Instead of place, we can call it area.

Or a den

It will be our ‘Lemmy den’

SomeKindaName,

Cliff face. Lemmy cliff face.

DrQuint,

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.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

/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.

puppy,

I am all for writing “Lemmy” in Reddit’s own r/place, to raise awareness. But trying to copy it in Lemmy? Nah.

ooh we should do that, but o ly for people who still use reddit. No use rejoining

DigitalWebSlinger,

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”.

Interesting_Test_814,

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.

Anders429,

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.

No, traffic for reddit, even negative traffic, is still traffic. They are only doing this to draw people further into the walled garden

Lumidaub,

No. We’re still trying to find our own identity here which will take some time yet so it’s to be expected that many things are done as they were on reddit. But the last thing we need to do now is go out of our way to imitate, as fun as r/place might have been and as edgy as some people may think it would be to spite reddit. We’ll find our own things.

AFKBRBChocolate,

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.

collegefurtrader,

Fuck that

I think if a thing like Place were made for Lemmy, it would need to be so different to fit the values of the Fediverse that it would need a new name. Different rules, different way of interaction, different output.

mathlad,

I agree, it should be something unique to make our own brand.

zdrvr,

And blackjack and Hookers…

Downcount,

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

"Daddy, your Internet friends sure like drawing rocket ships a lot".

Downcount,

Well. He’s old enough to know what those rockets are. Also: That thing was full of rockets on the first day he shared the address and I totally knew it was gonna happen ;)

I’m more afraid of worse things strangers would be able to post directly to his wall.

I think you’ve confused shitty with awesome. How does that work? Like through a pi or something?

Downcount,

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”)

web frontend

You can emulate the rgb output:

web frontend rgb emulated

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:

backside

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.

That. Is. Awesome! Such a cool project. I have a pie hanging around somewheres, is love to try something like this.

Downcount,

I say: Do it. Those boards come in different sizes, don’t cost a fortune AND (here comes the real awesome part) you can connect them to a big array.

Animations also look real cool on it.

If I had an Idea and the right arguments ('ello Wife 👋) I would love to build some sort of text-scrolling array of 3 or 4 those.

And while we’re at it, adding 10million more users would be great too.

But both of these don’t just happen.

Adding 10 million users tomorrow would be a disaster lol

Contend6248,

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

jsveiga,

Some people just can’t let go. They break up, but stalk their ex on social media for the rest of their lives.

mathlad,

😂 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

Rozz,

Did you use tabs or spaces?

puppy,

Come on man, you trying to start a war among programmers with that comment?

We should fully ignore any reddit publicity stunts
