MODERATORS
You really think 1000 (being very very generous here) people from lemmy going to r/Place to advertise is going to give a boost to Reddit's user engagement? On the other hand 1000 people coming from Reddit to lemmy will be like a 1% boost to Lemmy.
No, I’m not saying Lemmy users checking in represent any material change to Reddit numbers. I’m saying Place gets Reddit a short term boost to demonstrate the site still has pull. And that is what Reddit cares about far more than good content - eyeballs to sell ads to, and comments to sell to LLM companies.
