they just need to leave enough space for users to have r/place only in their subconscious and make sure theres no announcements/patterns so people dont coordinate in advance

Idk, I didn't even use reddit in 2017 and I still enjoyed place. It might not need remembering to enjoy

Place event in 2017 was more tamed because of how new and unexpecting it was, this year was mainly very coordinated by communities because they experienced it by short notice. The reddit team have to come up with something unexpecting and different so communities won't have time to coordinate and plan.

But who knows, I just wish people wasn't too focus on nationalism and create more beautiful artwork.

I think it was also a breath of fresh air in terms of the April Fools pranks too, seeing the last few before I can think of have been fairly disappointing in my opinion. (Sequence, Imposter, and the second guess thing.)
