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.
You do you, buddy.
Anyone that is still there will remain there, otherwise they would've left when we did.
Dude, no. We’re the early adopters. Others will follow in good time.
I'm going to assume that you started using Lemmy after you heard about Lemmy. Other people are probably the same, but have not yet heard about Lemmy. Let's let them hear.
But what if I’m a nondeterministic user? I could just be randomly smashing my keyboard and somehow serendipitously arrived at a lemmy instance, then somehow successfully created a user, and then somehow successfully created this comment.
That's a bad take. I was contemplating running boost with my own api when I tried jerboa and hated how buggy it was. Glad boost lasted long enough for jerboa to get fixed. There would a lot more people like me hesitant to make the jump and you can't just call this a pointless effort.
