It sounds more like someone thinks reddit's r/place is cool but doesn't want to support reddit and wants to have it for lemmy. And most importantly, the person brings it to lemmy.
Although it's just a copy, it's something fun where you can create something cool. And I celebrate OP for creating this. Count me in.
Not trying to be down on anyone's good time, I hope folks have fun with it. It's just my personal opinion on the matter, that it's better to create our own culture than grandfather in "culture" that wasn't actually culture but corporate nonsense masquerading as "culture."
Put it up there with all the people that complain that using Lemmy is "too hard" because it's not enough like Reddit. It's a bunch of "well corporations did this, why can't you?" type feeling. I just don't like that feeling, I'd rather have a community actually grow organically without corporate influence.
To quote Boo Boo Bear:
When we rely on them for everything, even our definitions of what "culture" is, we have lost.
I get your point.
I'm happy enough that lemmy is currently at a point where there's enough content for every days business. Let's see where it goes. Everyone can create such little fun games. Now you don't have to wait for reddit anymore.
Thanks for understanding. I've been quite enjoying the content on Lemmy as well. I'm just hoping for more creativity, because I'm positive there's people out here on Lemmy with brilliant social game ideas, they just haven't had the exposure they need yet for it to become Fediverse lore.
Almost everything on the internet is just imitation.
Community made canvases sound great for almost any major website to me. I'm down for it.
