Comment on Advertising Lemmy on r/place

This seems like a bad idea...
Aside from giving them traffic, which i'm pretty sure is one of the major goals of r/place...
how much are you banking on people actually seeing it, let alone caring about it?
I mean they could even just mod-erase the spot couldn't they?
I'm just saying it's a lot of traffic for them that doesn't seem like it'd actually be of any benefit to anyone but Reddit.

Reddit has over 500 million monthly users. If we got 100,000 Lemmings to go over there, that would give them 0.02% more traffic. For one week. And realistically, it would be a miracle if even 10,000 of you fine folk participated in this plan.
I don’t know how many people will see it, I don’t know if they will eventually erase it, but either way, it’s better than doing nothing.

Again, there's a very good chance the mods will delete it, and part of the whole point is to not bring them back traffic. Because that's the point of the r/places event.
So I really don't think it's actually better than doing nothing.

How does a 0.02% increase in traffic for one week benefit reddit? Are you familiar with their metrics and how investors judge their performance? Until you can support your baseless assertion that Lemmings using reddit will notably alter their overall activity, your argument is DOA.
btw I have to select English to respond to your comments

I see no way to change that from kbin
It's .02% on top of people who didn't leave, and again: For something that will probably be mod-swept.
Why are you pushing so hard to make people go back for that?
Like there's various ways you can take those same numbers and put them against the attempt, but the biggest factor is just the fact that Reddit already moderates against threads. So of course they will moderate against lemmy.
