  • A lot of people are thinking short term when it comes to Reddits traffic IMO. Sure, temporarily we would boost Reddits traffic but long term would probably hurt them. By this time next year, I’m sure Lemmy would have much higher contributing numbers than now, and next r/place will either A) not happen or B) happen with embarrassingly low participation. We could have c/place here instead.

    I agree that helping Reddits traffic by participating doesn’t seem like a good idea, but I also don’t think that ignoring Reddit will make the *problem go away either. So I support the cause, but as I used to use RIF, I will not be participating, but more luck to you.

    *one could argue there is no problem as Reddit is a separate entity to Lemmy. But I, like the rest of the community, support having more people switch here so we have more content. Honestly, I don’t care about Reddit as long as Lemmy can provide the content we used to see over there.
