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.

Most people haven't even heard of Lemmy, even if they want something to replace Reddit. You're only here because you had the good fortune to learn about Lemmy already. Let's give others that fortune as well.

Agree with this. Like me, I wasn't active on Reddit for about a year, it was pure luck that I started being active again right before the protests.
