Should Lemmy join in with /r/place to promote our community to a larger audience? - eviltoast

I feel like this might be a great chance to get the general reddit audience to hear about us better. Idk how many people we will need to pull this off. But if 155,000 people currently in the threadiverse is enough to take a large chuck of the /r/place map, we should do it and get people asking, whats lemmy?

Like “JOIN LEMMY!” and have the lemmy icon written next to it.

What does everyone think?

    You do you. It seems like many folks don’t wish to give reddit any more of their time, others would like to see more people join the fediverse, some may not want to invite more Reddit users due to various reasons (increasing trolls, having people shit on lemmy because it is not yet polished and they can’t figure it out, increasing strain on servers, or whatever their reason is). While we are still freshly in the post-migration phase since the implemented changes, we may still pick up a few new users, but I don’t believe we will have such a surge again until there’s another big change perhaps at the point where casual participants get fed up with the billionty ads, shitty app, and trolls who stay to earn their karma.
