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.
If you are thinking of doing this, I am begging you to stop and spend that time contributing to lemmy instead. 10,000 users will be a drop in the bucket for r/place, but 10,000 extra comments or posts could be the difference between the whole site surviving or not.
Post in c/place > get redditors to make an account > gain users > eventually gain 10,000 extra comments and posts after a bit of time.
The site won’t survive if it doesn’t grow. In order to make it grow, sometimes we have to leave the site and tell other people that it exists.
Just write a bot to click a certain area and certain colors. That’s what a lot of people did last time.
Unfortunately I don’t know how to make a bot. Was hoping someone else here would pop up with that kind of skills
First thing to pop up while searching Reddit place bot

I am not skilled enough to use this but if seomeone wants to use my account for this lemme know
You mean lemmy know?
Set up a macro to pixel paint/place to the Lemmy url, or fuck reddit or whatever, put it on repeat… While that’s running browse and use lemmy.
