xQc came and totally wiped us out. We have a lot of work in front of us and we are a bit too small a team to hold this space if someone decides to take it from us. I’m really proud of how well we’ve been able to advertise Lemmy and fuck things up with our allies in Fuck Spez and Black Company (doing the 3rd party apps protest). Help us to close out /r/place with our banner intact!

We are rebuilding from the g at the end of the url at 38,-25

    There seems to also be some confused people who want to move on, but who don’t know where to go. For those of us already here it’s obvious that kbin/Lemmy is the platform of the migration, but from the outside a lot of people are still considering centralized alternatives.

    Having a join-lemmy banner in the middle of r/place with no other Reddit alternatives present should more or less settle the debate on where the move is going to, in a way that speaks directly to the relevant audience (those still on Reddit).

      That’s what I’m saying! There’s literally NO BETTER ADVERTISEMENT for Lemmy than the literal middle of r/place (we held that position for days so it’s not just a blip on the timelapses, that will be posted later, either). The middle is the first thing most people will zoom at when looking at the end result.

      There’s too many doomers in this thread, them saying “move on we lost” is the same as saying “climate is already fucked why bother”. I am NOT pro-Reddit but WHERE ELSE should we advertise a Reddit alternative?

      The only reason I found out about Lemmy was through Reddit.
