    You are missing the point. People will return there to partake. r/place was immensely popular.

    Most people expected a 5 year wait. So for most people this becomes a refreshing surprise. And for the duration of the event, many people on Lemmy will return to Reddit. They will partake in organising pixelart and thereby getting pulled back into Reddit communities.
