i really loved the reddit place events.
do you think it might be able to have something simmilar here on lemmy/feddiverse?
IIRC the place code was open source and there’s a couple of other similar versions online already.
We could organise to run one once a year or something, I’m sure.
that’s a great idea, but organising a place-like equivalent on the fediverse is probably low down on the priority list and requires a lot of work to implement.
absolutely agreed! it’s still early-days, but as an example https://pxls.space/ has it’s source code on GitHub https://github.com/xSke/Pxls
I was more meant to create our own yearly event where we create a central “lemmyplace” instance; rather than a decentralized version, which given the data iops required, would probably not be feasible or desirable.
oh wow I just realised you’ve been around for 13 years. I didn’t know the fediverse existed in 2010!
Hehe, when you run your own instance, you get certain freedoms, that might let you update the DB directly. I saw another user that set their date to their DOB, but I just set mine to my Reddit cakeday.
haha, i see!
wow notifications are so fast ⚡ federation 💪
What did you enjoy about it
I enjoy marsey being erased by reddit admins, video making it to the all time top of r/place, and making people aware of rdrama.net
With the flood of new people to Lemmy, I think everyone is busy with making sure that everything is working as intended, the servers are running, and other basic needs. So in my opinion it might be a good idea to bring it up at a future date (I might be wrong idfk) but anyways I love the idea of big events like r/place offered I think it would be great
haven’t thought about that. stability is priority no 1…
but when things are sorted out, it might be a cool project, to get some more people interested in lemmy and open source in general.
