IIRC the place code was open source and there's a couple of other similar versions online already.

We could organise to run one once a year or something, I'm sure.

that's a great idea, but organising a place-like equivalent on the fediverse is probably low down on the priority list and requires a lot of work to implement.

absolutely agreed! it's still early-days, but as an example https://pxls.space/ has it's source code on GitHub https://github.com/xSke/Pxls

I was more meant to create our own yearly event where we create a central "lemmyplace" instance; rather than a decentralized version, which given the data iops required, would probably not be feasible or desirable.

oh wow I just realised you've been around for 13 years. I didn't know the fediverse existed in 2010!

Hehe, when you run your own instance, you get certain freedoms, that might let you update the DB directly. I saw another user that set their date to their DOB, but I just set mine to my Reddit cakeday.
