Top left corner of the green rectangle: (85, 228)
Template: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChaoticNeutralCzech/myRandomImages/main/placeLemmyTemplate.json

The previous one by The Black Company was too wide to defend against Italy. Let's make this one! I know LEMMY.ML is not the full Lemmyverse but we don't have space for JOIN-LEMMY.ORG now.

To use its template, install the r/place userscript (guide) and go to https://new.reddit.com/r/place/?jsontemplate=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FChaoticNeutralCzech%2FmyRandomImages%2Fmain%2FplaceLemmyTemplate.json&screenmode=fullscreen
or if you already have it, import one of these (either the URLencoded one in URL, or the raw one in plugin settings)

I would heavily recommend linking to join-lemmy.org instead of lemmy.ml.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@lemmy.ml 46 points 11 months ago

I know, it's better for decentralization to link to the directory. The Black Company tried but they were overrun by Italy. LEMMY.ML is the "shortest" Lemmy link and we cannot fit anything more unless the canvas expands or the very loose Fuck Spez Coalition lends us more space.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 54 points 11 months ago

I'd maybe just say "Lemmy is a better Reddit" in that case.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 47 points 11 months ago

Person: Searches "Lemmy"
Le Google: Lemmy Kilmister Mötorhead

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@lemmy.ml 17 points 11 months ago

or *goes to Lemmy.org* (which is what many are still trying to build)
...that domain is for sale for €6666 lol

[-] Machefi@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Screenshot of domain registration site for lemmy.org domain. For sale for 6,666.00 EUR. 1234 people have already viewed this offer.

sounds legit

[-] stevecrox@kbin.social 28 points 11 months ago

If your goal is to advertise the fediverse You should have used 'kbin'.

People can go directly to "lemmy.ml" but the site might disappear due to Mali re-establishing ownership of .ml domains, also its run by a tankie which will upset some people.

"Lemmy" provides 10 google sponsored results and then 'join-lemmy', the join-lemmy website has you 'join a server' and then presents you lots of options.

During the first Mastodon surge one of their issues is people felt overwhelmed by the options and it hurt Mastodon adoption, so a single website does make a lot of sense. Personally I would suggest lemmy.world its a general instance and the admins aren't linked to any extremist views, but you said that would be too long.

If you put 'kbin' into search the top result is kbin.social, that makes it seems like a reddit alternate. It keeps user choice limited and brings them into the fediverse. That means people aren't confronted with the complexity of the fediverse immediately and can learn and understand it at their own pace.

So if your goal is to advertise the fediverse I would push kbin, if your goal is to specifically get people to use a Lemmy based website I don't think you have a good option

[-] spacedancer@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

The only thing with kbin is the lack of a mobile app. A lot of newer reddit users don’t even know there’s a website. It might be hard to convince those users to switch to kbin if it doesn’t have a mobile app.

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 6 points 11 months ago

I agree with this. There is at least five apps right now that are great for people coming from reddit, so Lemmy has that covered.

I personally don't care about Twitter like services and I think many Redditors don't either, so kbin has some additional noise for us.

Lemm.ee is pretty short

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago

Please no I don't want my instance to get overrun by reddit users :(

I mean some are cool but if we overpopulate instances they begin having issues, have we not learnt from lemmy.world and lemmy.ml having tons of issues early July?

[-] lenninscjay@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

But we’ve also stress tested and evolved lemmy as a whole because of those instances’ troubleshooting

Yeah didn’t Mali re-asserting ownership of the .ml TLD create a bunch of chaos literally within the last couple days?

There's an ongoing fiasco with the Mali government reclaiming all .ml websites. Fmhy lemmy is already gone as they used a .ml. You may want to link to the org instead, just in case

[-] anewbeginning@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Is it related to the news of us military secrets being sent to ml emails?

[-] Blamemeta@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Thats just typo shit. The real reason is the contract ended.

What org? Not lemmy.org. Join-lemmy.org is too big.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

[-] 100thCatMarch@kbin.cafe 33 points 11 months ago

Might I suggest lemm.ee? It's pretty short and doesn't have any issues with the Mali government.

[-] Usernameblankface@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago

If there can be a consensus between switching to lemm.ee or Kbin, I'd love to lend my pixel to either of those.

Of course it links to the domain that's probably about to die in short order. This is why open source can't have nice things.

[-] professor@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago

Spend money on server and bandwidth? Yes.

Spend $9 on a reputable domain name rather than a domain name you technically “rent” from an unscrupulous registrar that eventually takes back domains and redirects them to adult websites? Thus leading to them getting sued by Facebook and bringing enough attention to Mail for them to take back the domains? Nah.

*.ml is not a good domain extension 😆

Noooo not .ml D:
That is awful; lemmy.world would be fine or join-lemmy.org or lemm.ee, but not lemmy.ml

[-] clay830ee@lemm.ee 28 points 11 months ago

LEMM.EE is actually fewest pixels

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

and the coolest instance, with the coolest people on it

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

thanks, it's true

[-] littlecolt@lemm.ee 37 points 11 months ago

Use lemm.ee or Lemmy.world.
