Hey all,
I’ve got an exciting thing to announce today, Canvas — Lemmy’s r/Place!
We need to get our own traditions over here in the Threadiverse, why not start off with our own r/Place
This weekend, we will open up a canvas to all Lemmy users, each user will be able to place 1 pixel every minute. This event will last 72 hours, starting midnight EST on the 4th and ending at 11:59pm EST on the 6th
Some instances that are joining in:
Join the Lemmy Community
!canvas@toast.oooJoin the Matrix Space
#lemmy-canvas:matrix.org
Sounds fun. Hopefully we can get a bunch of niche communities to show their love.
c/Place
Place is fun. Glad to see that it’s going to happen here too.
It seems there is a fair number of people wanting to “not copy Reddit.” But it seems they forget that the whole reason they are on Lemmy/Kbin is to find an alternative to Reddit, that basically works like Reddit. The sentiment of “don’t do what Reddit does” should apply only to the shifty stuff Reddit does, like cutting off API access to good developers.
Why?
If we want to start our own traditions, why the hell are we copying reddit yet again?
