I'm gonna be honest here: It's not.
This is like someone posting "homemade is so much better than eating out" and then they post a picture of a pickles, spam and mayo sandwich.
I mean sure, homemade can be better, but what you just posted isn't. I'm sure you like it, though. But it doesn't have general appeal at all.
Look, there's a reason most of the canvas is blank.
But you probably like the lack of activity.
So enjoy it, I guess.
All occurrences of Reddit place after the first were heavily botted. The first one was the best one IMO.
I think this speaks to a general difference between Reddit and Lemmy that we've all experienced: on Reddit, you can participate with a massive community, but your voice will likely be drowned out by everyone else plus all the bots. On Lemmy, you have to engage with a smaller community, but you can be sure your voice will be heard in that community.
With Reddit place, you probably couldn't point to the finished product and say "that pixel right there is one I placed" unless you were exceptionally lucky. With canvas, you absolutely can, but as you rightly pointed out the work itself is less impressive looking.
Btw, have you checked canvas recently?
I can imagine some humble pie needs to be consumed.
I don't see the need to mention reddit. It's like saying my current bf is better than my ex while spying on the ex.
Have a closure. Move on.
Looking at the screenshot at least, it looks like a load of computer nerds got together to respectfully collaborate instead of fighting over space like what happens on /r/place. I love it.
We have the blue corner we have the OSU logo, we have the German flag, and we have the crewmates. This feels complete, yes.
When Place first happened it was such a phenomenon, I think nothing that tries to copy it will ever come close.
Even Reddit's follow-ups have been much less fun than the first one.

It might be if I didn't have to download a new app to access it... (At least on an android phone)
I was able to sign in through the sync app on Android. It loaded up pretty well and I placed some stuff last night. Never had to download an app. What are you using that made you need another one?
