Some people just can't let go. They break up, but stalk their ex on social media for the rest of their lives.

Are you going to code it? You have like 10 hours to get it finished.

We should fully ignore any reddit publicity stunts

Ok, I’ll start.

       .

No. (1) We really don't need to duplicate everything Reddit does and (2) there's orders of magnitude fewer people here, so it would likely be lame.

I am all for writing "Lemmy" in Reddit's own r/place, to raise awareness. But trying to copy it in Lemmy? Nah.

/r/place is impressive since we can see how incredibly many people get together to create something, and it lives with tons of active users.

Even though lemmy is rising, I don't think lemmy has nearly enough users to actually make a copy of the concept.

But can we be a bit more creative? Lemmy isn't Reddit - it would be great if we could make something original instead.

If there's a 14-year-old coding prodigy who can do something truly amazing in less than 24 hours, we need you now more than ever.

We'll figure out something original. For now, I'd first like the have basic quality of life features, things like polls and stuff like that.

Instead of place, we can call it area.

Why not just use reddit's place to bring attention to Lemmy?

I'm baffled by the pushback from some users, I guess people still have PTSD from reddit. From a Lemmy-centric mindset, participating in this is an easy layup to grow the userbase. But we don't have much time and we don't have many users so it'll probably have to be modest.

I think if a thing like Place were made for Lemmy, it would need to be so different to fit the values of the Fediverse that it would need a new name. Different rules, different way of interaction, different output.

Fuck that

No. We're still trying to find our own identity here which will take some time yet so it's to be expected that many things are done as they were on reddit. But the last thing we need to do now is go out of our way to imitate, as fun as r/place might have been and as edgy as some people may think it would be to spite reddit. We'll find our own things.

Seems a bit late to organize something now when /r/place will happen tomorrow

I did a shitty version (64x64, shitty color picker). But it sends every change to a 64x64 led matrix.

Also it's in my sons room, so NO, you won't get the url XD

And while we're at it, adding 10million more users would be great too.

But both of these don't just happen.

help, I agree with both viewpoints
