Bring back r/place for April Fools' Day 2026

The Issue

For many of us, r/place wasn't just an event; it was a tradition, a way of life, a holiday, and a culture that brought people together creatively to collaborate and make a work of art. It became a unique cultural phenomenon, allowing individuals from every corner of the globe to contribute their creativity and individuality to a shared digital canvas.

The legendary event, hosted on Reddit, first made its appearance on April Fools' Day 2017. It allowed Reddit users to claim a pixel on a massive online canvas for every five minutes of participation. The sheer scope of collaboration was inspiring, as it led to the creation of countless unexpected and intricate artworks that epitomized unity in diversity. Reddit brought back r/place in 2022, much to the glee of the community, but we need to make this an annual tradition.

Not only did r/place engage millions of people across the world, it also embodied the power of teamwork and the human desire to create and be part of something bigger than oneself. In a world that’s searching for connection and unity more than ever, reviving r/place annually has the potential to foster communities and encourage a sense of global camaraderie and artistic collaboration.

We believe that reinstating r/place as a yearly event on April Fools' Day will serve as a delightful reminder of what we can achieve together. This annual tradition can inspire creativity and offer an inclusive place where people come together, transcending barriers and prejudices.

Let's bring back the magic and the tradition of r/place for April Fools' Day 2024. Join us in urging Reddit to revive this beloved cultural event every year so it can continue to be a beacon of creativity and collaboration across the internet.

Please sign this petition and help us bring r/place back into our lives as a yearly celebration!
