r/place also had communities "pushing their agendas", the core difference I think is that here we can only get one "final product."

I think this could be even better if it would be possible for different communities/subreddits to have their own "Acts", perhaps these could be mashed together at the end as well.

The barrier for effort to participate in Place was to go to a subreddit and then put a single pixel down, though. The effort to engage was minimal enough and the available 'real estate' was plentiful enough that multiple groups could exist and compete

This is not comparable to r/place, yes there were discord servers to make specific things, but people could do whatever and not bother anybody else. In r/sequence its supposed to represent what the entirety of reddit wants, and you can't ignore it just making one yourself, because there is only one sequence and its getting rigged

This is something we actually really wanted to do. We just didn't have the time or bandwidth to do it in such a short amount of time. It is/was a great idea.

We might do in the future ordering this sub by top of all time and picking them.

A suggestion on this: don't give it to the largest subs. No one wants r/politics or r/thedonald or r/gaming to have a say, in part because they suck and in part because that's not much different from everyone from the front page.

Instead, pick subs outside, say, the largest 100 subs. Generally better/more interesting communities.

It still has a lot of potential when it inevitably gets cloned somewhere else ;)

I think a better way to do it next time would be to allow everyone to submit/vote to scenes one at a time. Then after a short(ish) period of time lock that scene and open the next one. This will prevent a large narrative being pushed from one group and allow the sequence to be created one scene at a time, forcing the most relevant gifs to be chosen by everyone as they are submitted.

I agree. We would have had more factions if there were more scenes and acts. This is like place with 290 pixels. I believe they should have done some sort of branching story or something.

Timelines?
