Should Lemmy join in with /r/place to promote our community to a larger audience?
I feel like this might be a great chance to get the general reddit audience to hear about us better. Idk how many people we will need to pull this off. But if 155,000 people currently in the threadiverse is enough to take a large chuck of the /r/place map, we should do it and get people asking, whats lemmy?
Like "JOIN LEMMY!" and have the lemmy icon written next to it.
What does everyone think?

Apart from the fact we shouldn't bring them any traction, I'm not sure if that's the best way to advertise Lemmy. I mean, I think a big percentage of redditors have already heard of the threadiverse and they still choose to stay on Reddit for whatever reason. So a plain "join Lemmy" sign would probably seem like another annoying ad to them.
I think the best way to advertise the threadiverse is by sharing the content that's being created here and actually explaining/showing why it's a great platform to use. The more we do that and the more Reddit keeps pissing people off with their dumb updates and everything, the more people will end up checking the threadiverse out and hopefully joining it.
