Edit: We've lost to South Africa. Please help with overwriting this r/ to c/ instead!

Top left corner of the green rectangle: (85, 228)
Template: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChaoticNeutralCzech/myRandomImages/main/placeLemmyTemplate.json

The previous one by The Black Company was too wide to defend against Italy. Let's make this one! I know LEMMY.ML is not the full Lemmyverse but we don't have space for JOIN-LEMMY.ORG now.

To use its template, install the r/place userscript (guide) and go to https://new.reddit.com/r/place/?jsontemplate=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FChaoticNeutralCzech%2FmyRandomImages%2Fmain%2FplaceLemmyTemplate.json&screenmode=fullscreen
or if you already have it, import one of these (either the URLencoded one in URL, or the raw one in plugin settings)

I would heavily recommend linking to join-lemmy.org instead of lemmy.ml.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@lemmy.ml 46 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I know, it's better for decentralization to link to the directory. The Black Company tried but they were overrun by Italy. LEMMY.ML is the "shortest" Lemmy link and we cannot fit anything more unless the canvas expands or the very loose Fuck Spez Coalition lends us more space.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd maybe just say "Lemmy is a better Reddit" in that case.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Person: Searches "Lemmy"
Le Google: Lemmy Kilmister Mötorhead

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

or *goes to Lemmy.org* (which is what many are still trying to build)
...that domain is for sale for €6666 lol

[–] Machefi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Screenshot of domain registration site for lemmy.org domain. For sale for 6,666.00 EUR. 1234 people have already viewed this offer.

sounds legit

[–] stevecrox@kbin.social 34 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If your goal is to advertise the fediverse You should have used 'kbin'.

People can go directly to "lemmy.ml" but the site might disappear due to Mali re-establishing ownership of .ml domains, also its run by a tankie which will upset some people.

"Lemmy" provides 10 google sponsored results and then 'join-lemmy', the join-lemmy website has you 'join a server' and then presents you lots of options.

During the first Mastodon surge one of their issues is people felt overwhelmed by the options and it hurt Mastodon adoption, so a single website does make a lot of sense. Personally I would suggest lemmy.world its a general instance and the admins aren't linked to any extremist views, but you said that would be too long.

If you put 'kbin' into search the top result is kbin.social, that makes it seems like a reddit alternate. It keeps user choice limited and brings them into the fediverse. That means people aren't confronted with the complexity of the fediverse immediately and can learn and understand it at their own pace.

So if your goal is to advertise the fediverse I would push kbin, if your goal is to specifically get people to use a Lemmy based website I don't think you have a good option

[–] spacedancer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The only thing with kbin is the lack of a mobile app. A lot of newer reddit users don’t even know there’s a website. It might be hard to convince those users to switch to kbin if it doesn’t have a mobile app.

[–] stevecrox@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe I am old but I don't understand the NEED for a mobile application.

The kbin website works well on desktop and mobile web browsers with no render issues. The lemmy mobile apps all seem to be "alpha" quality.

Why is a buggy app better thana working website?

I choose an application or website based on which one works best. For example I browse Amazon via the web browser on the phone since the mobile application takes 2-5 seconds to load.

Personally I would suggest lemmy.world

Please god no! A majority of the Lemmy population is already on that server. It's presence on SEO and everybody's insistence to use that server is already a problem with trying to push a federated model. The owner's vain goal of trying to maintain the largest Lemmy server isn't helping matters.

We're already in a position where, if lemmy.world went down, the Lemmy federation would be in a crippled state.

[–] rDrDr@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Lemmy.world is by far the best experience for a new user. You can convince people to move to a new instance once they're already on lemmy.world. Starting off in a random instance is much more confusing.

I personally don't care about Twitter like services and I think many Redditors don't either, so kbin has some additional noise for us.

[–] lenninscjay@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Lemm.ee is pretty short

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Please no I don't want my instance to get overrun by reddit users :(

I mean some are cool but if we overpopulate instances they begin having issues, have we not learnt from lemmy.world and lemmy.ml having tons of issues early July?

[–] lenninscjay@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

But we’ve also stress tested and evolved lemmy as a whole because of those instances’ troubleshooting

Yeah didn’t Mali re-asserting ownership of the .ml TLD create a bunch of chaos literally within the last couple days?

There's an ongoing fiasco with the Mali government reclaiming all .ml websites. Fmhy lemmy is already gone as they used a .ml. You may want to link to the org instead, just in case

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] 100thCatMarch@kbin.cafe 32 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Might I suggest lemm.ee? It's pretty short and doesn't have any issues with the Mali government.

[–] Usernameblankface@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

If there can be a consensus between switching to lemm.ee or Kbin, I'd love to lend my pixel to either of those.

Is it related to the news of us military secrets being sent to ml emails?

[–] Blamemeta@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats just typo shit. The real reason is the contract ended.

What org? Not lemmy.org. Join-lemmy.org is too big.

[–] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 94 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Of course it links to the domain that's probably about to die in short order. This is why open source can't have nice things.

[–] professor@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Spend money on server and bandwidth? Yes.

Spend $9 on a reputable domain name rather than a domain name you technically “rent” from an unscrupulous registrar that eventually takes back domains and redirects them to adult websites? Thus leading to them getting sued by Facebook and bringing enough attention to Mail for them to take back the domains? Nah.

*.ml is not a good domain extension 😆

It is also filled with tankies.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

whats tankies, precious?

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

A tankie is a communist or Marxist-Leninist.

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Specifically the authoritarian variety.

Noooo not .ml D:
That is awful; lemmy.world would be fine or join-lemmy.org or lemm.ee, but not lemmy.ml

[–] clay830ee@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LEMM.EE is actually fewest pixels

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and the coolest instance, with the coolest people on it

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

thanks, it's true

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Use lemm.ee or Lemmy.world.

Congrats, you went on reddit and contributed to place just as spez wants.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

doubt using reddit for free lemmy advertisement is what spez wants

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

He just wants people at r/Place period. Whatever goes on in there is driving up reddit traffic. Pretty sure that's what he cares about the most.

Anyway agree to disagree, have a nice day

[–] grill@thelemmy.club 16 points 1 year ago (5 children)

More people being aware of lemmy on reddit is also good thing in the long run isn't it?
