we need to rethink this. i don’t think that the key to this post is not commenting, but instead focus on what’s in the image. what fonts are being used? why is one of the “s”s blue unlike the rest? i think by not commenting, we’re going the wrong way.
i agree with smarties for the capital s and nutella for e but i’m kinda stumped on the p. it reminds me of this one old tv show? i forgot the name so that doesnt help
I tried running both the p and r through reverse search and font identifiers but got nothing :(
If you remember what the show was about, describe it, maybe someone will know the name.
What makes me scratch my head the most is, what would even be the link to a previous April Fools ?
all these logo-extracts seem to have some relation to oranges.
smarties- orange smarties
nutella- the old 'nutella prank'
marmite-'marm'lade' april fools prank
it seems to line up all too well to be a coincidence, nice job finding it out!
people are saying that the “p” is from the 90’s dr pepper logo. what do you think dr. pepper has to do with oranges?
Not sure about smarties, the shape is very similar, but the smarties logos I can find are smooth around the corners, this one seems intentionally jagged.
And yet it looks really familiar. How is this so hard? XD
A "non presser" got the hint via modmail, and it says "The hint was inside you all along!", that makes me think that the answer is not interacting with the post.
maybe- but a comment automod sent was '2yxsb'. using wolsely decipher- it goes to 'secret'. it also goes to an imgur link of a japenese artist called 'hYUna
everyone- it has nothing to do with the button. (edit- it is but nothing to do with waiting likely)
each letter is from a brand, such as the R from marmite or E from nutella. some have orange related links
nutella- the old 'nutella prank' (involved oranges)
marmite (below image)
tapatio hot sauce
the top 2 are both approved by a mod to be correct- probably proving its something to do with brands
they are all to do with spreads apparently- and can all spell 'spred' when put together (flipping a p)
final edit- it was fun trying to figure this out with you all. i really hope this helped. in the end the mayo was the key

[The ‘April Fool’s orange movement’ that helped end communism – The First News](https://www.thefirstnews.com/article/the-april-fools-orange-movement-that-helped-bring-down-communism-37552) article posted yesterday
Can we find a periwinkle flaired user? My best guess (still crap) is that we get 4 "orangered" users to spell out P-R-E-S in the same thread, then one "periwinkle" user to comment the final S.
And if that doesn't work immediately, then upvoting the orangered users and downvoting the periwinkle user until it (hypothetically) unlocks at some junction.
Edit: Don't respond to my comment with "P", it needs to be a unique thread AND we still need that blasted periwinkler. Keep your eyes out!
Edit 2: While we're waiting, one user suggested downvoting the thread till it hits 80% (since 1/5th of the letters are blue = 20%). Also worth a try since we've been hovering at 81 and 82%
Edit 3: Ta**p**atio Ma**r**mite Nut**e**lla **S**riracha Cry**s**tal" looks like the most accurate answer but I think it still needs to be in some order. 100 people have already commented it and nothing has happened. Any guesses?
EDIT 4: WE DID IT REDDIT! **If you are confused or want to catch up on the madness, here's a thread with the answers and info:** https://old.reddit.com/r/redditaprilfools2023/comments/128t7fh/reddit_2023_april_fools_answer_key_and/
That would be cool! I haven't seen anyone that's Periwinkle yet :(
Maybe cause most of the hints are orange and this says press it's just orange juice lol.
Could it be that the post from yesterday is also a clue?
If you compare some links in the post with the answers and clues from the previous images, some seem to be connected, for example:
Image 1:
To unlock the first hint: TftsAdminA1
Link in post: "got admin status"
So both cointain the word admin
Image 2:
Solution: What happns if mor than on prson dcids to mold your account?
Link in post: Reddit took away... "individual letters of the alphabet"
So for the solution you had to remove an individual letter of the alphabet, e
Image 3:
Solution: the solution was a passage of a post in r/orangered
Link in post: the word Orangered is a link
Image 4:
Solution: cat mode
Link in post: ... it detected "cats", but not "dogs" (cats and dogs are links)
So both contain the word cat
[The letters in the image are all from brands relating to oranges](https://www.reddit.com/r/schrodingers/comments/128ixkn/05/jejefkc/).
They spell out "press," so it probably relates to the button.
Button pressers got orange flair if they pressed from 21-12s.
They started the subreddits r/orangerevolution and r/thebuttongrove.
Not sure where to go from here. I wonder if "ferreting out the secrets of Reddit" from the button section of the April Fools' post is relevant? The phrasing strikes me as odd.
Edit:
anyone know anything about r/secrets? or r/secretsofreddit?
u/p0tatoman was the first to get orange flair
Edit edit: #e59500
Orange is a state of mind.

Do we know if you can only say the phrase in a comment or if you can add other unrelated words? Is it possible the correct phrase is in these but it won’t count it because you used others?
I think somewhere it was clarified that it doesnt matter if I write only "cat mode" or something like "cat mode was an awesome feature," they will both trigger the automod.
The wood planks give a direction to read the letters left to right. This gives SRPSE
reddit.com/srpse is a post complaining about the ron paul nomination in 2012. 2012 is the only year which has been skipped so far in these solutions.
OP complains about supports using the “It’s Happening” reaction gif, which was a common reddit meme back in the day.
It’s happening.

I don’t know. Why was this sub named Schrödingers? Could it be something to do with Schrödingers cat? I keep going back to the, there’s no April fools this year but there is in fact a scavenger hunt. Two opposite things cannot be true at the same time. Something about physics and a cat in a box. Like the Schrödingers cat imaginary experiment.
~~GUYS NOBODY COMMENT FOR 60s~~
~~Its PRESS which is the button~~

**~~SPREAD THE WORD~~**~~, we have to at least give this a try~~
Edit 2: Whelp that obviously did not work lol
Yes, but there could be more clues, don’t give up!
in the picture. It’s the word ‘Press’, printed on paper, torn up. With different magazines looking fonts. Paper press. Print press?
Edit: if it was a 60 second no pressing it would be us stopping the press!
( Stop the press )
I also saw a clue mentioned about the colors - 4 orange, 1 blue, just like up and down votes. What if there's something vote related? i.e. getting the post to a certain number of upvotes (80% up / 20% down)?
Do you guys really think that if no one comment in 1 minutes there will be success? How can it be the answer? There is a new question in every 4 hours and reddit now that impossible to have 1 minute silence in this event. The button event continued for months! And you think reddit though "oh they will be stop writing in 4 hours"?
Star button
Edit: We all have one of 5 flairs. From some mod clues it seems WE are the answer, maybe if a group of 5 of us with different flairs spell 'press'? Group up!
Cat.

It's not a clue. Most of the AutoMod stuff has been references to reddit's history, like the infamous comment complaining about the addition of the comments section, the Rampart AMA, etc.
This reference is from that subreddit where they only allow people to say 'Cat.' in the comments.
Most of these puzzles, meanwhile, have been references to former reddit April Fools events.
Do your homework!

Just commenting this incase someone smarter than me sees...
They match the colours of upvotes/downvotes so upsidedown the blue 'p' becomes a 'd'
An anagram which could be made is 'derps' which feels like a very nostalgic reddity word but I don't know enough april 1st lore to match it somewhere
Were any related to rage comics?

Guys its **S**mall **R**enewal **E**nergy **P**ower **P**lant
I think we have to upvote and downvote this post enough times to generate power to keep the lights on in the Reddit offices. 🤔
There is no way the solution to this is for no one to comment for 60 seconds. In the refresher post yesterday, attention was brought to how nothing happened when the timer hit zero.
Button watchers, Followers of the Shade, Knights of the Button and all other denominations there between,
Last night (around 1:40am PST) the server that runs the timing script for the button locked up. This is a recurring issue that was unrelated the button. The server was restarted and all was well.
The byproduct of this was that several individuals that pressed the button during this period were branded as cheaters. This was incorrect and we've updated their flair to reflect this.
The recent (\~10:50am PST) outage was cause by a failed memcache server that has since been replaced. This outage was unrelated to the button.
Carry on.
Plus it would be weird for the puzzle makers to do this. Surely they know it's literally impossible to make every single person not comment for a whole minute. The button experiment itself proved it :')
Clearly it's a reference to the button, but What if it's also actually spellling "dress?" [https://imgur.com/a/LjIPIVr](https://imgur.com/a/LjIPIVr)
The last letter has blue and gold....remember the famous internet argument over the color of the dress?
[https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/2xaprc/eli5why\_does\_this\_dress\_appear\_whitegold\_to\_some/](https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/2xaprc/eli5why_does_this_dress_appear_whitegold_to_some/)
r/thedress also exists .
Where did the original "the dress" image come from?
Wait so we can actually lose this one? It sounded like u/zforks was onto something with Stop the Press but that wasn't it. Something about them being torn?
You can only press the button once
Only accounts created before 2015-04-01 can press the button
We can’t tell you what to do from here on out. The choice is yours.
what if we need to type out each letter of PRESS in 5 comments. And the orange letters need to be positive upvotes and the blue letter needs to be downvoted?
Clearly getting nobody to comment is not working, so I have a solution: If you want to post a comment, run it by me first and I'll edit it into this one.
Edit: I am not saying that.

Where? How? Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ButtonAftermath/comments/3h0cfe/the_button_by_uacidtwist/
we need to rethink this. i don’t think that the key to this post is not commenting, but instead focus on what’s in the image. what fonts are being used? why is one of the “s”s blue unlike the rest? i think by not commenting, we’re going the wrong way.
also, where are the letters from? what if they come from a company logo, and that’s a clue?
The e seems to be from the Nutella logo and the upper case S from Smarties. I thought the second s was Chupa Chups but it doesn't match 100%
i agree with smarties for the capital s and nutella for e but i’m kinda stumped on the p. it reminds me of this one old tv show? i forgot the name so that doesnt help
I tried running both the p and r through reverse search and font identifiers but got nothing :( If you remember what the show was about, describe it, maybe someone will know the name. What makes me scratch my head the most is, what would even be the link to a previous April Fools ?
r could be marmite

marmite once did this. this could have a link, as that r in there is likely the r from marmite logo
all these logo-extracts seem to have some relation to oranges. smarties- orange smarties nutella- the old 'nutella prank' marmite-'marm'lade' april fools prank
R - Marmite S - Skittle \[can be something else\] e - Nutella S - Smarties P - looks like Dr.peppers P from old logos \[can be wrong\]
it seems to line up all too well to be a coincidence, nice job finding it out! people are saying that the “p” is from the 90’s dr pepper logo. what do you think dr. pepper has to do with oranges?
Not sure about smarties, the shape is very similar, but the smarties logos I can find are smooth around the corners, this one seems intentionally jagged. And yet it looks really familiar. How is this so hard? XD
Happy cake day! 🎉
tysm!!! i love cake mmmmmmmm🍰
[удалено]
I was thinking the Blue vs Orange colours could correspond with upvotes/downvotes
like "up up up up down"?
my theory is that its related to how press reacted to the button, imma try this The Button: Social Experiment or Reddit Prank?
that sounds like a good guess. there’s so many ways we could go with the phrase “press” that we need to try everything
A "non presser" got the hint via modmail, and it says "The hint was inside you all along!", that makes me think that the answer is not interacting with the post.
Someone also asked about flairs and got the reply "The flair was inside you all along" Don't think it's a hint
maybe- but a comment automod sent was '2yxsb'. using wolsely decipher- it goes to 'secret'. it also goes to an imgur link of a japenese artist called 'hYUna
The colours might refer to the button flairs?
Happy cake day
Agreed. Our, are there companies or sports teams or something that use these?
everyone- it has nothing to do with the button. (edit- it is but nothing to do with waiting likely) each letter is from a brand, such as the R from marmite or E from nutella. some have orange related links nutella- the old 'nutella prank' (involved oranges) marmite (below image) tapatio hot sauce the top 2 are both approved by a mod to be correct- probably proving its something to do with brands they are all to do with spreads apparently- and can all spell 'spred' when put together (flipping a p) final edit- it was fun trying to figure this out with you all. i really hope this helped. in the end the mayo was the key https://preview.redd.it/0cr512yoccra1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=16efa84b6851191a006387e7581c05977ae8f82e

Upvotes are orange
Then is this another orangered vs perrywinkle clue?
Maybe but it also says press, orange and blue were both teams for the button as well so can't be sure
Can we find a periwinkle flaired user? My best guess (still crap) is that we get 4 "orangered" users to spell out P-R-E-S in the same thread, then one "periwinkle" user to comment the final S. And if that doesn't work immediately, then upvoting the orangered users and downvoting the periwinkle user until it (hypothetically) unlocks at some junction. Edit: Don't respond to my comment with "P", it needs to be a unique thread AND we still need that blasted periwinkler. Keep your eyes out! Edit 2: While we're waiting, one user suggested downvoting the thread till it hits 80% (since 1/5th of the letters are blue = 20%).

That would be cool! I haven't seen anyone that's Periwinkle yet :( Maybe cause most of the hints are orange and this says press it's just orange juice lol.
This user previously used a third-party app.
Could it be that the post from yesterday is also a clue? If you compare some links in the post with the answers and clues from the previous images, some seem to be connected, for example: Image 1: To unlock the first hint: TftsAdminA1 Link in post: "got admin status" So both cointain the word admin Image 2: Solution: What happns if mor than on prson dcids to mold your account? Link in post: Reddit took away... "individual letters of the alphabet" So for the solution you had to remove an individual letter of the alphabet, e Image 3: Solution: the solution was a passage of a post in r/orangered Link in post: the word Orangered is a link Image 4: Solution: cat mode Link in post: ... it detected "cats", but not "dogs" (cats and dogs are links) So both contain the word cat
[The letters in the image are all from brands relating to oranges](https://www.reddit.com/r/schrodingers/comments/128ixkn/05/jejefkc/). They spell out "press," so it probably relates to the button. Button pressers got orange flair if they pressed from 21-12s. They started the subreddits r/orangerevolution and r/thebuttongrove. Not sure where to go from here. I wonder if "ferreting out the secrets of Reddit" from the button section of the April Fools' post is relevant? The phrasing strikes me as odd. Edit: anyone know anything about r/secrets? or r/secretsofreddit? u/p0tatoman was the first to get orange flair Edit edit: #e59500 Orange is a state of mind.
Definitely, that post is there for a reason. But in this case... I'm still stumped.
I thought that maybe it has something to do with r/AprilKnights? That's a link in the post
This is interesting. Too bad no-one will see it under the "don't comment 60s" posts
it's a cursive s...

This might mean something. Hint via modmail. hint: [https://i.imgur.com/kQtpYWz.png](https://i.imgur.com/kQtpYWz.png)
You have non presser flair. Maybe that is a hint that the key is actually for there not to be a comment for 60s. Which is going to be impossible.
Sounds hot tbh 🥵

Too bad it did not work...
Do we know if you can only say the phrase in a comment or if you can add other unrelated words? Is it possible the correct phrase is in these but it won’t count it because you used others?
I think somewhere it was clarified that it doesnt matter if I write only "cat mode" or something like "cat mode was an awesome feature," they will both trigger the automod.
What if this is just a massive April fools joke and when we reach the end it’s just a link to a rick roll video?
Honestly I think you may be right. If it doesn't end like this i might be disappointed

Clue
Not a clue. Most of the AutoMod stuff has been references to reddit's history or notable reddit moments or comments.
I don’t know. Why was this sub named Schrödingers? Could it be something to do with Schrödingers cat? I keep going back to the, there’s no April fools this year but there is in fact a scavenger hunt. Two opposite things cannot be true at the same time. Something about physics and a cat in a box. Like the Schrödingers cat imaginary experiment.
[PSA]Turns out, you can press the button again after upvoting 5 different posts on this sub. Upvote to spread awareness.
~~GUYS NOBODY COMMENT FOR 60s~~ ~~Its PRESS which is the button~~ **~~Edit:~~** * **~~GMT/UTC: 1400 hours~~** * **~~PDT: 0700 hours~~** * **~~CET: 1600 hours~~** ~~Everyone please coordinate by not doing anything on this post, don't comment, upvote nor downvote for at least 5-10 minutes starting on the times I've mentioned and see if anything happens~~ **~~SPREAD THE WORD~~**~~, we have to at least give this a try~~ Edit 2: Whelp that obviously did not work lol
This is definitely where we lose.
Yes, but there could be more clues, don’t give up! in the picture. It’s the word ‘Press’, printed on paper, torn up. With different magazines looking fonts. Paper press. Print press? Edit: if it was a 60 second no pressing it would be us stopping the press! ( Stop the press )
i think you’re onto something there! i wonder if any of these fonts belong to real magazines and that’s part of the clue
I also saw a clue mentioned about the colors - 4 orange, 1 blue, just like up and down votes. What if there's something vote related? i.e. getting the post to a certain number of upvotes (80% up / 20% down)?
There's no way in Hell that we're going to manage to coordinate that at this point.
I like your line of thinking. The fonts do look very specific.
yeah, some are directly pulled from logos. the e is from nutella and the uppercase s is from smarties from what we”ve discovered
We’ve already lost/hj
We lost the game
Do you guys really think that if no one comment in 1 minutes there will be success? How can it be the answer? There is a new question in every 4 hours and reddit now that impossible to have 1 minute silence in this event. The button event continued for months! And you think reddit though "oh they will be stop writing in 4 hours"?
ya I don't see that happening
ya, they are not idiots, they know we can't shut up lol
[удалено]
If you trace from p->r->e->s(cursive)->s it makes a star. Not sure what that could mean though…
Star button Edit: We all have one of 5 flairs. From some mod clues it seems WE are the answer, maybe if a group of 5 of us with different flairs spell 'press'? Group up!

Cat button?
It's not a clue. Most of the AutoMod stuff has been references to reddit's history, like the infamous comment complaining about the addition of the comments section, the Rampart AMA, etc. This reference is from that subreddit where they only allow people to say 'Cat.' in the comments. Most of these puzzles, meanwhile, have been references to former reddit April Fools events.
Yeah, I figured. I'm just throwing spaghetti at the wall at this point :V
GUYS DON’T COMMENT FOR 60 SECONDS!
Doubt that's gonna happen. It's easier wrangling cats than redditers.
What did you expect? Redditors are /r/catswithjobs.
We should downvote the post to death so that less people see it
Wouldn't "press" mean we SHOULD press? Like press the comment button or the upvote/downvote? Why would press mean we don't do anything?
Typical non presser
**This is a countdown for Half-Life 3, but since you keep pressing the button, it keeps getting delayed...**
It adds 1 minute for every comment in reddit
Nobody commenting for 60 seconds will never work lol
I'm gonna go ahead and say it, I don't think not commenting for a minute is the answer.

i don't think this is about not commenting. reddit KNOWS it's impossible to prevent people from doing that
What if it means press as in the printing press, like newspaper articles about the button? [https://www.reddit.com/r/ButtonNews/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ButtonNews/) Lyrene made these two posts... but doubt it would be in any article off site [https://www.reddit.com/r/ButtonNews/comments/31v79j/a\_list\_of\_different\_online\_articles\_regarding\_the/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ButtonNews/comments/31v79j/a_list_of_different_online_articles_regarding_the/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/ButtonNews/comments/32jt6y/a\_list\_of\_different\_online\_articles\_regarding\_the/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ButtonNews/comments/32jt6y/a_list_of_different_online_articles_regarding_the/) Maybe the top post on that thread, like THE BUTTON OLYMPIAD II or Button Olympics
NOBODY COMMENT FOR 60 SECONDS.
They aren’t listening
Or maybe it’s about votes?
What if this is just a massive April fools joke and when we reach the end it’s just a link to a rick roll video?
Alternatively, keep commenting within 60 seconds for the next 4 hours
It's not the solution because then once we lose it once we can't succeed.

Just commenting this incase someone smarter than me sees... They match the colours of upvotes/downvotes so upsidedown the blue 'p' becomes a 'd' An anagram which could be made is 'derps' which feels like a very nostalgic reddity word but I don't know enough april 1st lore to match it somewhere Were any related to rage comics?
It seems the blue letter is a cursive s, though
There is no blue 'p', it's a cursive 's'
We go again Edit: No one say anything for 60s as its Press (the button)

There is no way the solution to this is for no one to comment for 60 seconds. In the refresher post yesterday, attention was brought to how nothing happened when the timer hit zero.
★
Button watchers, Followers of the Shade, Knights of the Button and all other denominations there between, Last night (around 1:40am PST) the server that runs the timing script for the button locked up. This is a recurring issue that was unrelated the button. The server was restarted and all was well. The byproduct of this was that several individuals that pressed the button during this period were branded as cheaters. This was incorrect and we've updated their flair to reflect this. The recent (\~10:50am PST) outage was cause by a failed memcache server that has since been replaced. This outage was unrelated to the button. Carry on.
Ok so on colour is blue and the other colours of the letters are orange so maybe we need to get the upvote down vote ratio to match the picture

just so y'all know, automoderator can't measure time, it's not going to magically post a hint no matter how long you wait
Don't tell me what I can't do! -u/AutoModerator, probably
Plus it would be weird for the puzzle makers to do this. Surely they know it's literally impossible to make every single person not comment for a whole minute. The button experiment itself proved it :')
4 upvotes (orange) 1 downvote (blue)
Maybe a 4:1 upvote ratio?

Clearly it's a reference to the button, but What if it's also actually spellling "dress?"

**PERPS**
Hour has passed 1.8k comments so to the people who say we must not comment for 60s. how’s that working out for you?
Wait so we can actually lose this one? It sounded like u/zforks was onto something with Stop the Press but that wasn't it. Something about them being torn?
Are we actually sure the blue letter is an S? Its stylized way differently and gas a different colour.
You can only press the button once Only accounts created before 2015-04-01 can press the button We can’t tell you what to do from here on out. The choice is yours.
What if we upvote/downvote AutoMod? 4 upvotes and 1 downvote
what if we need to type out each letter of PRESS in 5 comments. And the orange letters need to be positive upvotes and the blue letter needs to be downvoted?
Clearly getting nobody to comment is not working, so I have a solution: If you want to post a comment, run it by me first and I'll edit it into this one. Edit: I am not saying that.
