Will lemmy ever get it's own /place?

    It's admittedly not a very difficult project, it was done pretty quick for an April Fools event in 2017. Honestly it could be a good coding challenge because the basics themselves are easy, it's just how you build it at scale. So you just need someone to make a new Lemmy community, a new website, and have a lot of people get hyped about it so that it becomes the 'one' for Lemmy. Ludwig hired one dude to write a clone for his stream, so there just has to be someone who has the time, energy, and care to make one for this community.

    The issue is mainly that everyone will have different clients, so it may not be properly supported. It would be very simple to have someone login to a custom website that would allow you to place your square, but it wouldn't be seamless like reddit's implementation is.

    Probably not, but there are already open source projects that allow people to host their r/place lookalikes. Some lemmy instance admin could some day decide to host one of those, but it wouldn't be part of lemmyNet's code.
