What we really need to do is start writing down all the Lemmy instances. It’s one thing to tell off reddit, it’s another thing to get people off of reddit.
Mod reminder: We do have a rule against brigading. I know this is a special case - but please keep it respectful if you are planning to represent the Fediverse on r/place.
In my opinion, something like “Join Lemmy” is fine, but a giant penis with LEMMY next to it is not as good a look and I’d rather you not coordinate that plan here.
I didn’t make the rules. I took over as top moderator yesterday. In general, we don’t want you to use this community to plan a brigade in a way that would make the Fediverse look bad. I could reword the rule to include that. It hasn’t even been an issue until today. It’s the first time I’ve seen it happening in the comments.
As I’ve explained elsewhere today, I don’t mind if you’re using this community to plan a brigade at r/place today that says something like “Join Lemmy” but if you’re planning to do something like make a large penis and put “Lemmy” next to it I’d rather you plan that somewhere else. Lemmy.world admins do not want us doing something that makes the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, much less planning it on the site.
Thank you for having a respectful conversation with me even though you don’t agree with the rules. I will think about rewording that one to be more specific. Today has been very busy for me because of the r/place threads.

R/place is only remotely possible through the act of brigading

Understood. I’m just requesting we don’t make the Fediverse look bad.

Let’s start with kbin.social.
Any ideas for a spot?
