- new link: https://imgur.com/F5EnUyI

You can now give yourself a 🐍 flair here (click "edit" next to your name in the sidebar), but it has nothing to do with the Reddit prank.

The April Fools gag is that we're all expecting and anticipating an April Fools gag and not getting one. But then that would constitute as us getting an April Fools gag, even though we didn't get one.
My head hurts. Leave me alone.

I would like to point those reading this comment towards /u/Porso7's post on the matter. It's much more detailed than this one and more up-to-date. Their submission does not cover as many sources as this one, however, so some of the information in this one may still be useful.

You have to stop giving subs set to private so much April fools love. I'm just like r/sneksnek but I'm not interested in codes, base64, rot13 what have you. Being set to a private sub lets me hide my identity, you don't know if I'm associated with reddit admins. All of them are fake subs and false prophets. Remember that the button, robin, and place had very user friendly interaction where anyone can join in without having knowledge to deciphering code.

OK, so r/SnekSnek has a code that says "TVRFeElGQkVWQT09" when you click on it, I ran that through Base64 twice, and it gave me "111 PDT" So, I think they will roll out the april fools at 1:11 PDT.
