Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time::Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas — at a time when user dissatisfaction with the platform is very high.

Let’s organize to post a message “Use Lemmy.world”

Why Lemmy world specifically? I'd just go for Lemmy in general and then it's a shorter message and doesn't lead to Lemmy world becoming even more bloated/slow.

“Use Lemmy” works for me

Joining lemmy.world is a very straightforward replacement for reddit. "Join Lemmy.World" is a much more effective message than "do some research about various instances, register with one that federates with other instances you find interesting, and subscribe to specific communities by searching for them".

I think people on Lemmy.world wants every Lemmy user to be on their instance. I have never seen any other instance post so much messages about how people should that instance instead of joining the network.

Centralized will lead to a lot of issues for Lemmy but I guess people need to learn that.

Weird behaviour. Decentralisation shouldn't mean tribalism.

And drive traffic to reddit? Nah
