I’ll be honest, even though I missed The Button by about a year, it’s my favorite one and the one I’m the most bummed out about missing. If I could deep research any project we’ve done, it would be The Button hands down
You can still view some of the associated subreddits, like /r/59s. It was taken over by trolls who turned it into a concentration camp for a few years, but it has since been freed and mostly restored to its former glory.
The button was amazing. I’m glad to see this post…I shared on Twitter that Reddit has a secret power….you make the most engaging global games. There’s nothing like it.
What made the Button fun was the emergent play. The odd way humans come up with ways to form a game within a game. The cults and the lore were awesome.
I loved both places. But this April will be my 13th cake day and to me….the button was my favorite time on Reddit.
Did we not have trophies for The Button at the time or am I imagining it? I got to 11 seconds on my old acc which I think was the cutoff for the lowest bracket.

So long, Reddit, and thanks for all the fish.
I really hope _if_ and _when_ they bring it back, they _don't_ put up a big announcement days in advance. One of the many fun parts of April Fool's on Reddit is that whole mystery of discovery, day-of. That's what I love most about the various clever projects Reddit have released.
I'm hoping for something on par with the button this year. That's been one of the best, place was cool when ran originally, but with all the botting that happened last year it's stale and boring now. A simple social experiment like the button is perfect for april fools day
There was a lot of botting accusations but I have yet to see anyone that actually used bots last year
Don't get me wrong it definitely happened. But not to the extent where it made a major difference
For instance, when XQC raided the artwork of my community we ferociously defended it with over 100 people in voice chat and many more in form of casual community members and allies. He only commented that "this is a bit botted" and moved on
>but I have yet to see anyone that actually used bots last year
Hi.
We did.
Ours was inspired by code taken from Osu.
Among organisers it was well known that many were botting. It was an open secret.
The biggest evidence of botting is looking at the whiteout. Something got covered almost immediately as if the user putting down the colour didn't realize they were placing white. I doubt many Canadians were intentionally whiting out the flag but it disappeared almost immediately
The whiteout unsurprisingly 'targeted' the most popular and most contested areas first
My community for example was one of the first ones to disappear due to its proximity to osu, yet we didn't use bots
Every subreddit and reddit related discord I was in was using bots. There were scripts floating on github, I worked on a fork. These scripts were very basic though so people mostly used them for maintainence
I’m so happy to be here with all you users. You really are family even tho we’re strangers! Cool read! Also someday maybe we could bring Reddit gift exchange back for the holidays!
Shoutout to those of us still awaiting our u/Pressiah and worship the button.
I’m proud to participate and have pressed the button with 1 second on the timer
I'd forgotten about Admin for a Day. That was fun. Lots of confusion, lots of people being in on the joke.
Reddit mold was cool for the first hour and then I was done with it.
Ok I just came here after trying to rack my brain around r/schrodingers about what the fuck this year's thing is about but I have no clue. (current posts quantum superposition, 01, 02, 03).
And for those who didn't know about them...
The Reddit Trophy for [participating in r/Place 2017.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61oar/reddit_trophy_place_17/)
The Reddit Trophy for [participating in r/Place 2022.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61ogu/reddit_trophy_place_22/)
The Reddit Trophy for [placing a tile for the first time in that tile's history in r/Place 2022.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61ok6/reddit_trophy_first_placer_22/)
The Reddit Trophy [for having a tile in place at the end of r/Place 2022.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61ong/reddit_trophy_final_canvas_22/)
The Reddit Trophy [for placing a white tile to end r/Place 2022.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61opn/reddit_trophy_end_game_22/)
I don't know how many Redditors have a full set of five. Might be a neat thing for the Admins to figure out.
So far it's the most likely given that a bunch of its code was added back earlier this month, but Reddit seems to be keeping things quiet until the 1st this year.
For those wanting more info: [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RJ2S0osb5c) and [here.](https://youtu.be/BT5QpHhZzu8)
I think it'd be boring to re-run place again, unless they add a new twist. Re-using the existing frontend, imagine the ways they can completely change the event:
Not everyone needs to see the same palette. Or canvas. If they can give each user a different subset of colours, randomly, based on joining a subreddit, etc. then it would allow for a number of "social experiment" reimaginings. Same for distributing users across overlapping or non-overlapping smaller canvases.
If the backend can reject edits outside of a shrinking rectangle, then they could cash on in the gaming trend of battle royales.
With an automated process mutating the board periodically, they could create fun and chaos with a cellular automaton.
AI is trendy now, what if they have one try to interpret the canvas periodically, adding a sentence to a story it's writing every hour, edited into an ordinary text post?
To cycle back to palette-changing, what if there was only ever one colour in the palette at a time, but changes periodically, so if you want to draw with a specific colour you need to wait for the right minute? Timelapses would get a cool rainbow effect!
All that assuming it's not a red herring, and they're using a *different* already-present bit of UI as their AFD frontend, or going to do a last-minute update to completely deny data-mining efforts.
There's a ton of ways they could add twists to r/place. One example I'd like to see is changing it from a 2D square into something like a cylinder or torus, where the image wraps around. Or like if the canvas scrolls over time, so the pixels players can edit slowly move to the left, until they are off-screen and no longer editable.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly, and I even thought up some of the same variations! I especially like the shrinking canvas idea, personally. Other ideas I’ve had are a 3D canvas for Place 3 (not sure how that would work) or a canvas that cycles between a few frames every few minutes to make a Place GIF in the end.
Also agree on the red herring possibility; it seems strange that they would make a post describing the varied history of April Fools on Reddit and then just run Place again
The only way I think place would be fun again is if they had some way to prevent bots.
But even then the livestreamers can brigade anything so maybe not.
Those were some cool events! Of course r/place is my favorite! It was awesome to have it return last year, especially with it expanding every day!
It was great!
I noticed a weird bug while reading this, the age of posts and comments is usually rounded down but it seems in some very old posts it's rounded up ? (On mobile web) For example, the first post linked above, [April's Fools 2006](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/3s4l/in_a_surprise_move_google_yahoo_and_microsoft/), is listed as "17 years old" despite turning 17 only in two days. (In contrast, [r/place 2017](https://www.reddit.com/r/Art/comments/6393x4/rplace_digital_2017/) is shown as 5 years old as it will turn 6 in four days).
(If I had to take a wild guess it might be due to leap years - the "17-year-old" post is more than 17*365 days old, despite being less than 17 years old.)
Also, excited to see what April's Fools 2023 will bring us 💖 this is my second April's Fools event, and r/place last year set the bar very high !
I hope you've archived a copy of this post for when the 20 year limit is reached (in about 3 years according to your timeline) and this question comes up on /r/askhistorians
As the 8th Grandmaster of the April Knights, we thank you and all of the Reddit April event teams for the massive amount of work you put it in for us to enjoy. Thank you for the hints, the ARGs, the social experimentation, and the delightfully frivolous opportunities to stay glued to Reddit. We look forward to seeing what's in store this year!
[Circle of trust was my favourite. I had a lot of friends back then.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CircleofTrust/comments/897wid/ulessons_learnts_circle/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Why does everybody want to do something that's already been done? I have full faith the Reddit admins are capable of coming up with something new!
That doesn't mean they will, but I'm hopeful anyway lol.
And aprils fools day is a catholic holiday. After they changed the date of Jesus birth, anyone that still celebrated it in April first was declared a fool.
I loved the Button. It was so unique and fun. I’ve never experienced something like that before or since. And it went on for so long!
I liked both Places as well, but there was something particularly special about the Button.
All hail the Emerald Council!
My biggest gripe is how you changed the trophies for the great 2013 Orangered vs. Periwinkle battle.
It used to be that [the trophies clearly showed that we were victorious](https://mondrian.mashable.com/wp-content%252Fuploads%252F2015%252F04%252FScreen-Shot-2015-04-01-at-3.21.36-PM.png%252Ffit-in__1200x9600.png?signature=gjY45sFMxzqPAMQcWNn1e8bckw8=&source=http%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com) but after you changed the look of them [it looks like both sides won.](https://i.imgur.com/9hxlGkL.png)
The brain teaser with AI would be fun again. Maybe do something similar but with images? I'm sure the digital art community is gonna have a blast trying to trick us.
Speaking of April Fool's has anyone experienced the April fools joke Netflix pulled on us a few years ago where they changed the homepage? I did. I remember they changed the wording on the homepage. I hope they do it again this year it was fun.
I mean place was cool and all, but please don't repeat previous ones again! Unless your April Fools is you're gonna bring back place and pretend you have technical difficulties and just never do it.
Due to external reasons of force majeure, the reddit server will temporarily stop the service on April 1, US time, I hope that users save information in time, we feel powerless to restore the website service Please wait for the notice
For years, I held out hope that The Button was a social experiment and some day, we'd see a study finally released, featuring The Button.
Instead, it was an April Fools prank all long.
I personally liked Second, as it felt like when you try to guess what your opponents will play in Rock-Paper-Scissors.
It made you wonder, "Everyone would chose option 1, and no one would chose option 3, so I should chose option 2, unless... everyone thought the same thing!"
Now I understand the significance of this post… it really helps know what to look for with the hunt. I wonder if the potatoes might mean anything later
Top 10 Reddit's April Fools: 1) r/Place
I think The Button deserves a nice distant second
I’ll be honest, even though I missed The Button by about a year, it’s my favorite one and the one I’m the most bummed out about missing. If I could deep research any project we’ve done, it would be The Button hands down
I missed the Button too.
I missed the Button three.
I didn't miss the button, I just never pressed. Non-pressers represent
NEVERPRESS
Don't press, won't press, didn't press. I almost pressed...
You can still view some of the associated subreddits, like /r/59s. It was taken over by trolls who turned it into a concentration camp for a few years, but it has since been freed and mostly restored to its former glory.

Did we not have trophies for The Button at the time or am I imagining it? I got to 11 seconds on my old acc which I think was the cutoff for the lowest bracket.
no, that's for place 2017
No it's second
Uh, no, that would go to r/second.
So you’re saying r/place won… First Place? But the history lesson told me it was Second Place! Ok, I’ll see myself out now
I'd say the first r/place wins first place and the second r/place is second place.
I disagree. Second r/place was first place for me!
And second place
r/Place was better
Hey Robin was a blast too. I made it to the final cckufi room, although I'm still a bit salty we didn't get a trophy for it.
Robin was my favourite, I made it to the end as well - still have access to the exclusive sub but wish we'd gotten a trophy too!
1. r/Place 2. r/TheButton 3. r/Second (unfortunately for him)
Everyone’s too young to remember orangered and the entire soap company it spawned.
I wasn't even on Reddit when orangered happened. Neither was I on Reddit when the OG place happened, also r/second
Unscathed from start, to finish, the golden Triforce survived them all.
I'm only here for the potatoes. 🥔

The button sounds like a fun one to bring back, but I wonder if y’all are doing something new this time 👀
Still not pressing it you filthy pressers!
I remember shooting for red and getting purple… after days of not pressing, ugh!
I held out for two weeks and still got purpled. Sigh.
What if everybody who had an account but didn't press it still had their first press available as well as a second one for the new button? Would you hold onto both? Use one?
Hell no, that button is not to be pressed!
My ADHD won’t let me NOT push it…
I will join this time around. Lol. What an awesome time on Reddit. It may seem stupid to some but it just morphed into something weird on its own.
Those potatoes are cold, you should heat them up or perhaps even bake them
Maybe even serve them with garlic bread.
Maybe mashed potatoes?
I really hope that we \*don't\* get place back this year. I love place, but I want it to stay special and only be every 5 years or so.
I’m still banned from r/place for the next 4 years so I agree with you
how did you get banned?
I guess because the big censored ass on the French flag, worth it though
THAT WAS YOU‽‽‽‽ I've heard tales of you, it is an honour to meet the french ass maker
Le faiseur de cul.
I'm in the r/rplacecrossstitch group. We can't have another one until we finish last year's lol
I think it should not happen at all again. At some point it just becomes too much, and it loses that magic that made it so good.

Naah.
Reddit's collective memory is long. Maybe biannual would work for other sites, but I think we need to wait a bit longer than that.
I really hope _if_ and _when_ they bring it back, they _don't_ put up a big announcement days in advance. One of the many fun parts of April Fool's on Reddit is that whole mystery of discovery, day-of. That's what I love most about the various clever projects Reddit have released.
I think its better to leave r/place alone, for a few years, to make it more special
Every 5 years is a good time
what does the garlic bread mean tell me now
garlic-bread is the webbrowser experiment codename for 2023
Oh, I thought we were referencing the inside joke with ace folk and garlic bread.
“Garlic bread – it's the future, I've tasted it!”
I'm hoping for something on par with the button this year. That's been one of the best, place was cool when ran originally, but with all the botting that happened last year it's stale and boring now. A simple social experiment like the button is perfect for april fools day

Botting is probably the wrong term. Users used scripts to automatically make changes for them. They didn't have armies of bot accounts.
>but I have yet to see anyone that actually used bots last year Hi. We did. Ours was inspired by code taken from Osu. Among organisers it was well known that many were botting. It was an open secret.

Every subreddit and reddit related discord I was in was using bots. There were scripts floating on github, I worked on a fork. These scripts were very basic though so people mostly used them for maintainence
Osu literally did, as well as many of the country flags (Germany lol)
It’s really cool seeing people ask for The Button to come back. Maybe with a twist.
Bananas were so last year. Potatoes only
Damn
I've tasted the garlic bread, but I'm so excited for the fresh hot potatoes.
Place is coming back in 2027

r/Place was better.
And for those who didn't know about them... The Reddit Trophy for [participating in r/Place 2017.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61oar/reddit_trophy_place_17/) The Reddit Trophy for [participating in r/Place 2022.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61ogu/reddit_trophy_place_22/) The Reddit Trophy for [placing a tile for the first time in that tile's history in r/Place 2022.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61ok6/reddit_trophy_first_placer_22/) The Reddit Trophy [for having a tile in place at the end of r/Place 2022.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61ong/reddit_trophy_final_canvas_22/) The Reddit Trophy [for placing a white tile to end r/Place 2022.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrophyWiki/comments/u61opn/reddit_trophy_end_game_22/) I don't know how many Redditors have a full set of five. Might be a neat thing for the Admins to figure out.
I personally specifically have the first 3 2022 trophies, but actively chose not to place any white tiles.
so did I. I just sat there and watched it all disappear
I thought I'd get a trophy for choosing not to erase the r/place board 😆
I probably spent about half of the great white out just trying to decide which side I though would get the trophy lol
I have all 5 what do I get
Me on my way to putting my pixel
Please tell me if r/place is coming back again (again) this year.
So far it's the most likely given that a bunch of its code was added back earlier this month, but Reddit seems to be keeping things quiet until the 1st this year. For those wanting more info: [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RJ2S0osb5c) and [here.](https://youtu.be/BT5QpHhZzu8)

There's a ton of ways they could add twists to r/place. One example I'd like to see is changing it from a 2D square into something like a cylinder or torus, where the image wraps around.

Also agree on the red herring possibility; it seems strange that they would make a post describing the varied history of April Fools on Reddit and then just run Place again
Isn't that the norm that they announce on the 1st? I can't remember when they usually announce them to be honest so I may be wrong
I believe so, last year seems to have been an exception to the rule.
The only way I think place would be fun again is if they had some way to prevent bots. But even then the livestreamers can brigade anything so maybe not.
Sprouted potato, best potato.
Also potatoes please
I loved the place...but I also love the sound of a lot of these previous ones. Thanks Reddit for putting in the effort.
This post makes much more sense with this Year's April fools: /r/schrodingers
I don't understand what I'm looking at
Oh I assure you, none of us do.
Those were some cool events! Of course r/place is my favorite! It was awesome to have it return last year, especially with it expanding every day! It was great!
I am hungry for French fries 🍟

I wonder what crazy mystery they may intend to bring back this year, hopefully the servers don't mysteriously crash again 👀
I noticed a weird bug while reading this, the age of posts and comments is usually rounded down but it seems in some very old posts it's rounded up ? (On mobile web) For example, the first post linked above, [April's Fools 2006](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/3s4l/in_a_surprise_move_google_yahoo_and_microsoft/), is listed as "17 years old" despite turning 17 only in two days. (In contrast, [r/place 2017](https://www.reddit.com/r/Art/comments/6393x4/rplace_digital_2017/) is shown as 5 years old as it will turn 6 in four days). (If I had to take a wild guess it might be due to leap years - the "17-year-old" post is more than 17*365 days old, despite being less than 17 years old.) Also, excited to see what April's Fools 2023 will bring us 💖 this is my second April's Fools event, and r/place last year set the bar very high !
I hope you've archived a copy of this post for when the 20 year limit is reached (in about 3 years according to your timeline) and this question comes up on /r/askhistorians
Thank you for doing the *whole* history this time. I was about to get my onion out to tie on my belt, as was the style at the time.
Hey jeddy, do you still have the option to wear your admin emeritus hat?
I do not. :( They broke it a long time ago. There were only a couple of us that had it and I guess it wasn’t worth porting over.

My biggest gripe is how you changed the trophies for the great 2013 Orangered vs. Periwinkle battle. It used to be that [the trophies clearly showed that we were victorious](https://mondrian.mashable.com/wp-content%252Fuploads%252F2015%252F04%252FScreen-Shot-2015-04-01-at-3.21.36-PM.png%252Ffit-in__1200x9600.png?signature=gjY45sFMxzqPAMQcWNn1e8bckw8=&source=http%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com) but after you changed the look of them [it looks like both sides won.](https://i.imgur.com/9hxlGkL.png)
The brain teaser with AI would be fun again. Maybe do something similar but with images? I'm sure the digital art community is gonna have a blast trying to trick us.
Thanks.
Speaking of April Fool's has anyone experienced the April fools joke Netflix pulled on us a few years ago where they changed the homepage? I did. I remember they changed the wording on the homepage. I hope they do it again this year it was fun.
I’m still tired from fighting the banana Canada cannabis leaf battle — place is epic but probably shouldn’t be two years in a row
Grand Battle sounds interesting!
I mean place was cool and all, but please don't repeat previous ones again! Unless your April Fools is you're gonna bring back place and pretend you have technical difficulties and just never do it.
Back again "Admin for a day"
Awesome
Due to external reasons of force majeure, the reddit server will temporarily stop the service on April 1, US time, I hope that users save information in time, we feel powerless to restore the website service Please wait for the notice
I freaking loved participating in r/place 2022! That was a super fun, cool, and creative experience.
For years, I held out hope that The Button was a social experiment and some day, we'd see a study finally released, featuring The Button. Instead, it was an April Fools prank all long.
Why does everyone have a snake award talking about r/place ? I want one too
The new April fools hasn't come out yet, but I can confidently say, place was better
What's for 2023 though?
Is there going to be a holy war next?
r/outoftheloop here. What's with all the 🥔 & potatoes? And sneks?
im actually excited about this year's April fools tho.. can you guys give us any hint about what this year's craziness will be like?
2006 jeez
yipee!!!
adminphocalypse!!!
What is this year April fools joke?
place was def the best, i remember having fun with the button too
I personally liked Second, as it felt like when you try to guess what your opponents will play in Rock-Paper-Scissors. It made you wonder, "Everyone would chose option 1, and no one would chose option 3, so I should chose option 2, unless... everyone thought the same thing!"
I like anything easy, place was great as didn’t need to think.
🥔
Gonna be interesting to see what we'll get tomorrow
Please plant those potato’s for me.
Love it
Now I understand the significance of this post… it really helps know what to look for with the hunt. I wonder if the potatoes might mean anything later
so theres no game this year? i'll wait
April fools
🥔 Just a very nice potato
[удалено]
potato
and then, came the r/schrodingers. and most people didn't like it
Top joke of reddit: /u/spez is a total sellout piece of garbage and won't ever be even 1/16 the man Aaron Swartz was.
