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.
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.
Very very unlikely. Considering the underlying point of Lemmy is that it is decentralized, the devs would have to add something similar and possibly every instance would have it’s own place.
Will lemmy ever get it’s own /place?

Probably not but it would be cool. Thought I’d rather like something else instead of lemmy trying to copy that from reddit 1:1
For now, There’s rplace.live
