As communities fought to colonize the canvas, they started planning in their own subreddits, and then off Reddit altogether. “It all clicked for me,” says Lee, “what strangers can do when they band together.”īut Lee and other Reddit staffers also noticed something else. The mosaic morphed from a scattering of weird blobs (and, OK, a distinctly phallic shape) to a patchwork of everything Redditors loved: a pixelated rendition of the Mona Lisa, the logo for Stranger Things, the Swedish flag, and hundreds of other symbols, smashed into one great digital quilt. Lee, a product manager who hadn't used Reddit much before joining its staff, watched in awe.
Redditors would land on a random tile on the canvas, which they could then change to any color they wanted.
It was April 2017 and Reddit had just launched r/place, a collaborative project that invited more than 100,000 communities on Reddit to contribute to a great mosaic of the internet. We’ll find out when Splatoon 2 launches on July 21.A few months into Jason Lee’s new job at Reddit, the office was buzzing with excitement. The Nintendo Switch Online app isn’t properly live yet, though, so maybe this system won’t be as frustrating as it seems. Hori has come up with a garish workaround for this - you plug a dongle into your phone and your Switch to get both audio at once - but that setup isn’t convincing Switch owners to hop onto the Online app train.

It’s bad enough that voice chat is only available with a smartphone app, according to Switch fans who are used to playing games online with other consoles. But each one of those have a more obvious reason why they don’t work when the user is in a different window - they’re highly visual and far more interactive than the online app’s voice chat feature is.
