There seem to be rumors that reddit wants to do another r/place on 23rd of June to celebrate its 18th birthday and to distract from the API situation.

Might be fun to do one ourself beforehand and if succesfull (maybe by pulling in streamer communities again) it could get more people to join lemmy

i really loved the reddit place events.

do you think it might be able to have something simmilar here on lemmy/feddiverse?

Let's maybe work on getting to the point where the servers don't crash regularly before we start implementing stuff like this lol.

Yeah i understand that view, i just think that it would be a good timing for it and bring more publicity to the cause.

Also going a bit offtopic: if it helps, haven't experienced any crashes since using lemmy.world

also tested kbin.social but it was pretty slow and laggy at the moment. But i really like the design on this one a lot

also using squabbles on the side, but that one will not be my new home since it is not on the fediverse. It did feel like another good reddit replacement and was a bit more user friendly since it is less complicated than the fediverse sites.

I said the same thing until today. I'm on reddthat.com and it went down for a while this morning. Was back up relatively quickly though. From what I understand, we weren't the only instance to go down.
