Lemmy's version of Place is so much better than Reddit (lemmy.ml)

When Place first happened it was such a phenomenon, I think nothing that tries to copy it will ever come close.

Even Reddit's follow-ups have been much less fun than the first one.

You could argue that place was a copy. Before that you had The Million Dollar Homepage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage?wprov=sfla1) in 2005, where companies could buy a pixel for a dollar. I have a hard time believing that it didn't have some influence over the creation of place.

Soon after this, I started onepennypixel.com and made a little money from it :D It's long gone now.
