With the r/place controversy, do you expect Lemmy to grow? (sopuli.xyz)

I don't even understand how this r/place thing works. I only know each user can paint a pixel every 20 mins. I didn't even know a forums web application could be used for pixelart. If that's actually a feature that Reddit itself provides, I don't expect anyone coming to Lemmy for whichever controversy could happen, because Lemmy is not going to implement such feature any time soon so coming to Lemmy is not going to solve hypothetical immigrants anything related to this pixelart movement. If that's actually a feature that Reddit itself provides.

So I don't expect it to grow specifically because of this. If Lemmy grows (out of Reddit), it is because of more general problems Reddit might have, imo. But I don't know, I'm on lemmy just because of "Fuck proprietary software" mentality, and less about controversies, so I might not be qualified to answer you.
