Lemmy's version of Place is so much better than Reddit

In some ways maybe but the fact there is enough space for everyone and people don't have to fight for it kinda defeats the most interesting aspects of Place if you ask me.

I strongly disagree. When everybody has a space and opportunity to draw is when it's the most fun :)

Otherwise, it just turns into a toxic and unpleasant experience
- Right? It's a collaborative art piece, not a battleground!
I didn’t even know it was a thing
Most interesting, yes, but it's mostly big sub bullying small sub, so this one is staying closer to the concept.

Ew, crypto.

I don't see the need to mention reddit. It's like saying my current bf is better than my ex while spying on the ex.

Have a closure. Move on.

Right? If there's one thing that I dislike about lemmy, it's how often they mention reddit. Just stop, it's getting annoying
- i mean… to deny the similarities in the platform is kinda ridiculous… i’d go so far as to say that lemmy/kbin probably wouldn’t have the format it does without reddit being like it is. there’s a direct relationship, whether we like it or not
- 100% agree. Who cares if it's "better" than Reddit (what does that even mean)? Saying that just sounds childish.

This is a bit too forced imo

so much better

I see you've cropped out the gigantic bronie mural in the center

In the center and every corner and also all the other places

Wait theres a lemmy place?

Can someone link

My first thought when I saw that was "I'm home, I've found my place". Man I just love lemmy and its community

Long live Lemmy!

Looking at the screenshot at least, it looks like a load of computer nerds got together to respectfully collaborate instead of fighting over space like what happens on /r/place. I love it.

Yeah, I got tired trying to make one myself and took a long nap. When I got up, someone tried to finish part of it by filling up a large portion and correctly guessing which colors without having any idea what I was going for.

That's heartwarming.

We have the blue corner we have the OSU logo, we have the German flag, and we have the crewmates. This feels complete, yes.

Nah, something is missing.

I don't see a "connection timed out" corner. I don't see a Windows taskbar. I don't see people replicating Bad Apple. It feels wrong to not have these.
- There is a Bad Apple frame in the upper part, at least. Not really the same but we’re getting there.

Based Konqi! Best FOSS mascot alongside Krita 's Kiki!

Edit: Fixed autocorrect's mischief on Krita's name

"Oriya’s Kiki"? Do you mean Kiki the Cyber Squirrel, mascot of Krita, designed by Tyson Tan?
Who's Oriya?
- I think "oriya" is a typo of "krita". O is right next to K, and y is next to t
- It was dumb autocorrector moment, I did mean Krita's Kiki indeed, thanks for the heads up :')

Remove the cringepto

When Place first happened it was such a phenomenon, I think nothing that tries to copy it will ever come close.

Even Reddit's follow-ups have been much less fun than the first one.

“even”… i think reddit’s follow ups were least likely to succeed because they were the least organic!

place was special (at first) because it was a bunch of people with no time to plan and prepare… it was humans doing human things with all the limitations and creativity that came with that

other iterations of place were bots and pre-planned “stake our claim” rather than making something interesting and different… it was kinda all just the same as the last one but with subtle “meme of the moment” tweaks
- You expressed my own thoughts in a better way than I ever could. I agree completely.
You could argue that place was a copy. Before that you had The Million Dollar Homepage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage?wprov=sfla1) in 2005, where companies could buy a pixel for a dollar. I have a hard time believing that it didn't have some influence over the creation of place.
I wasn’t around for 2017 but 2022 was the most fun I’ve had with internet strangers in years, if not ever. Also no one was ready for the expanding canvas and everyone scrambling over it was beautiful.

There’s no unregistered hyper cam block yet and that makes me sad

Is it for a limited time?

I think until the end of the weekend

Thanks to the kind stranger(s) who finished off my "RICE LOVE" doodle (top right) while I was sleeping <3

Link?

Hasn't been botted yet

Ehm, look at the right side... The two things that look like a compressed jpg... No way those aren't made by bots..
- i think you can put templates on screen so its not necessarily botted
- there's templates involved, i was there when it was still being built and the pattern seemed legit too

It might be if I didn't have to download a new app to access it... (At least on an android phone)

I was able to sign in through the sync app on Android. It loaded up pretty well and I placed some stuff last night. Never had to download an app. What are you using that made you need another one?
- I loaded it up on google chrome on android.....not sure why you would need another app?
I just did it through my browser...
