Reddit loves April Fools’ Day, using it as an excuse to launchodd social experiments each year. There was Reddit Place in 2017, which brought a giant white canvas for the community to draw all over. Circle of Trust in 2018 gave users the chance to create cliques. This year is a bit different, with Reddit Sequence, a more surreal approach to the traditional gags.

On a new “Sequence” subreddit created yesterday, users can submit gifs or sentences that are voted on by the community. Every three minutes, a new picture or sentence is added to the sequence as a scene, attempting to create a coherent story or narrative. Users get one vote per scene and can submit their own if they feel they have a better fit. It’s a community-driven project, with images and memes that are popular on the site spreading faster than their less-known counterparts. Reddit admin Jareth called Sequence a “tool for good” and added that it will be “shut down” if used for “evil.” That means no NSFW imagery or controversial content.
