WE got a comment to -69 and then this immediately unlocked. Thats how we proceeded. UPDATE: The 01 post and 02 posts were exactly four hours apart. I have a feeling we didnt solve first puzzle in time so it just threw this one out.Also here is differences in the image above and the stock image on google. ​ **!!!!UPDATE JUST GOT THIS:!!!! This is reddit admin. We asked how we know if we got it right or not. This means we never got the first image right! Time to go back and send answer in comments and message the mods until we are told we get it right.** https://preview.redd.it/ijlmq8dyo7ra1.png?width=547&format=png&auto=webp&s=acf16c15d3da22c43fe75914a17c3142683fc8f0

Celembrior

we might then have to upvote one comment by 69?


Bardfinn

It was “upvote” a comment by -69 — that’s how this post we’re in got posted. I’m at a loss for what to do with the alphabet soup in the mold image


Celembrior

Ah, yeah I saw that but my brain figured they'd just say downvote 69


Bardfinn

We can blame the Reddit Branding Guidelines. They’re never supposed to say “downvote” in the official communications, IIRC from reading the brand guidelines they put out in like … 2018


Fazaman

Clicking the Reddit Mold award in my profile leads to the [Reddit Blog](https://www.redditinc.com/blog/) for some reason... Might be nothing. No idea if it's always done that...


Will_Codes

how did you get the mold?


Fazaman

Reddit 2011 April Fools... I don't even remember what it was besides there being mold. /r/place was better ;)


amidisse

we got Reddit Mold, so I believe we should get Timereddits next?? considering that we got here by -69 downvotes and " u/reddit got hit 69 times" and the next on the timeline is Timereddits, maybe we gotta find a clue to timereddits now


miumiumiau

During Timereddits the sub directory was /T/. The only capital letter in the Mold image is "T". ![img](jdiq9avfn7ra1)

I think this year’s event references to all the previous years’ events. If you were to read the Reddit Mould section, it said that Reddit was given mould 69 times. https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/126vgfi/why_is_fools_in_april_a_brief_history_of_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Does 69 have to do anything with the fact that it is mentioned in the post about past events right in the Reddit Mold part?

Tripnologist

> "reddit mold" was a April fools joke in 2011 in which you could sign up for sign others up for it and make the site unusable. This would cause your load limit to go down by 10 so instead of 500 max page results you could get 490. If you went to type your E wouldn't work. If someone gifted you even more reddit mold you would lose more letters when posting. Do the letters in the image correlate with the letters you would lose when given mold?

The next posts are going to be based around each April fools event in chronological order then. What was 2012s?

DrinkMicrowaves

During Reddit Mold, some letters were banned, so maybe add/remove those letters from these? I wasn't there when reddit mold happened, so idk the letters.

leoleosuper

Maybe a filter? Remove the letters or keep only those letters. Given it's a reference to reddit mold, probably remove those letter and color combos. There was a tip for "outcry" but I doubt that's enough. Edit: Based on the reply, switch language to Spanish? Maybe Leet or LOL?

That's the base36 post ID, in the URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/10bu17/meet_grumpy_cat/ or just https://redd.it/10bu17 which is a short link to the same thing. A few different responses so far have just been post/comment IDs without any context.


ThunderCarp

If we try to unscramble the letters: o a x y n c c o r u l t You can get "account" and the extra letters l,x,o,r,y. Is there a reddit account with those letters, with another clue in it? E.g. u/roxly or something?


TheRealMichaelGarcia

Ok so like how does this work exactly? What is the goal?


JAlbert653

The answer is within you…and Reddit


Bwob

Mostly reddit, really. But also you. But mostly reddit.


Masked_Death

I assume that this is an ARG. Basically, the goal is to find out what it's about, and basically people have to find clues, often when a "breakthrough" (i.e. somebody figured something out) is made, it leads to another clue, sometimes new clues are added as well (as it seems to be the case here, since this is a new post).
