Comment on Why is Lemmy so damn small??
Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world 1 week agoYeah true. Reddit always just leaves me feeling mad. I just miss the NOVELTY of it. And thats why its hard for me to switch to alternatives (Commet over Discord, Lemmy over Reddit) Im such a sucker for gimmicks, I truly am. I like that I could dress up my lil reddit snoo and that it had R/place. It was fun, the alteratives, because they are acting as a replacement to an already established website, they dont have as many gimmicks if that makes sense. I dunno if thats for the best or not tho.

It does make sense: the alternatives are newer than Reddit, with relatively small dev teams, so the devs are still implementing core functionality and there’s no dev time for the gimmicks.
That said, r/place has a Fediverse equivalent: !canvas@toast.ooo , it’s annual and around July. It’s in a Lemmy instance but people can join it even from PieFed, Mastodon, and others.
