What’s it?

Place a Tile!

Logged in Reddit users can place a tile once every 5 minutes to avoid spam. The last time it went live, it became one of the most popular things with over a million participants.

[{"selector":"#anim-37007ba0-a942-411c-a923-b7343692f9a6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(78.04289530912439%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] This time is no different Reddit asks us to create anything together as a community and it’s an everchanging canvas .

So many users contributed that Reddit had to DOUBLE the canvas size. Expands Every 24 hrs

[{"selector":"#anim-444f2e7e-61a6-49fe-a01c-20410220a6fb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

People love it so much that they are asking it to happen yearly, and it really is FUN!

The community really shines here, and they have made some jaw-dropping arts that are too good to be true. Learn more

There are some annoyances as bots are not properly taken care of and kill the element of a community-made canvas.

[{"selector":"#anim-e5582404-7b8f-4b64-b253-3d96fa6f0c47","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

And communities try to paint their own by destroying others’ art. Well, that may be the beauty of this board too?
