There’s so much going on and I have no idea what’s happening. Is everyone acting like they get it or is this too meta for me

In case any wants an explanation, reddit has created this subreddit and in it you help vote for creating a Sequence of Gifs/Pics that will turn into an Act. There are 7 Acts, the first being the Prologue which everyone is participating in right now.

At some point the voting will stop for the Prologue and Act 1 will begin its voting sequence. This whole thing will end after the sequence for Act 6 is finished, probably after this week.

Every year Reddit tries some massive April fool's community joke. It started with "the button". Now every year we have some puzzle to decode. Typically it's nothing, and has 0 impact on anything, just it's entertaining.

Edit: apparently r/thebutton was not first, and despite my long history here, I stand corrected on Reddit lore. Forgive me.

I totally get it and understand everything happening. I am not confused at all and I defiantly know what sequence is. Yup, I am totally in the know.

Im 100% lost but I figured just like The Place I'll figure it out eventually.... you know when the excitement is over and no one cares anymore.

It's literally just a subreddit where you submit gifs and the top voted ones will get stitched together to make a """"movie"""". That's it.

Just like last year, I sat here confused for 30 minutes thinking I didn't understand it because surely that can't be it. Surely they managed to come up with something better than that after last year's flop?

Nope. Underwhelmed again.

Access the sub by regular way, r/sequence.

There's also www.reddit.com/sequence (note lack of /r/)

The above does seem to work even on mobile fyi, but I'm sure experiences will vary

Yeah I think this is a backfire. 90% of the comments I see are just confused.

They needed to fix something, so It's private again. Check back again soon - there's a post that reached near the top of r/all recently.

It’s art. All the breadcrumbs are there. I know a lot of them cause I like breadcrumbs a lot.

I’ll tell you what’s up if you ask, but not in public.

You can PM me, but only if you can see the sequence on your actual Reddit feed. It’s got a certain icon. If you don’t have it I can’t talk to you about it. At least not yet.

But yes, it’s very meta.

So much so only art majors might “get it”. But I play music, I also studied symbols for a living and know memetic theory like the back of my hand.
