Reddit has decided to run another edition of r/place in mid July for some unimaginable reason.

It seems to me that it would be stupid to not at least attempt to advertise for Lemmy given the perfect opportunity. Many have expressed concerns about giving reddit more traffic, but a few thousand users is less than a rounding error to reddit. However, getting a few thousand more redditors to move to Lemmy would be great for us.

Hopefully I can get a few sh.itheads to help in this noble endeavor. If not, at least I tried.

    Reddit has over 500 million monthly users. If we got 100,000 Lemmings to go over there, that would give them 0.02% more traffic. For one week.

    Also I hate to say this but you’ve got like 25 comments and I’ve got nearly 900. And I’m being lured back in to reddit? I never left, I’ve been shilling Lemmy this whole time.

    And because Lemmy is so much better, that’s genuinely all I want to do when I’m on reddit.

      I find that figure extremely hard to believe. Maaaaybe with bots.

          I admit to having a very US-centric POV when it comes to this, so I guess I can see it. I was never an /all browser, so my exposure was limited to my subs. Even so, there’s no way that many users actually contribute anything of merit.

            Yeah most of those users are either 0 value or negative value. But there’s still millions of positive contributors that we could siphon to Lemmy
