Use this post to ask questions about April fools content or to post popular April Fools from brands/websites/subreddits/influencers/etc.
I'll try to update the main post with the most popular April Fools events that subreddits are putting on.

/r/AskHistorians has flaired posters posting AMAs in character as various historical figures. They've done similar things in the past and they're usually both highly entertaining and highly informative.

Answer: The Metal Archives[1] has now done away with subgenres. The genre for every single artist there is now simply "metal." Not as good as the madness they pulled last year, but still enough to give a good chuckle.

In r/AVoid5, which is a subreddit where all posts and replies must avoid using the letter E (the dreaded "fifth glyph"), someone has made a post for "letter E enthusiasts,"[1] challenging that all replies should contain the letter E in every word.

My 9 year old son would like me to tell everyone that Roblox Tower Defense Simulator has a “hilarious” change:
It randomized the faces, animations, and the sounds of towers, units and enemies. Additionally, it also changes the Commander narrator's icons and dialogue.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but the internet used to do a lot more for April Fools Day, but it doesn't feel like that much is happening. Most of reddit is still the same, and I don't know many other places that are doing anything.
