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.

I know a lot of people just use TikTok and Instagram and don't care to find an alternative, but I don't know what that number scales to outside of my personal circles

Yes I was also thinking of this scenario, which I believe is quite common. But those people also probably didn't spend too much time on reddit in the first place
