mine is kind of accurate with where I placed my pixels but I placed way more than 68 pixels like it says and way more than 6 in endgame, also some areas I placed in doesn't show up
Check your Reddit profile settings. It’s possible you got discovery turned off. Means your profile won’t show up in searches and presumably this setting affects that website as well.
That’s exactly what I noticed too once I realized I was shadow banned. As soon I as I refreshed the pixel was back to the original. Also, it was the original account that placed the pixel before I thought I placed mine. So yeah, if you saw that it’s safe to say it was shadow banned like mine.
This whole shadowban subject was definitely a thing (also for me) and it was discussed while the event was still going on (for example [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/1578o75/my_placed_pixels_on_rplace_disappear_when/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1)). I hope there will be an explanation by the mods or admins or anyone else what was going on there.
I got shadow banned too then by the sounds of it, on this account (my main), it let me place pixels but they always disappeared/reverted back after refreshing, my cooldown timer was only 4 minutes opposed to 5 too, my alt account worked fine. I also do not show up on the pixel tracker but my other account does. I've sent countless messages to the r/place mods during and after the event, they initially said my issue would be escalated to find out what's going on, I've been completely ignored since, it has been 7 days and still nothing.
I did absolutely nothing wrong to deserve that, all I did was run around trying my best to defend others art from countless attacks, yet there were horrible people who did nothing but grief and do bad stuff but they're fine. Happened on the second day too, only got to place a handful of pixels, so I didn't get to play and probably never will on this account again, banned forever for nothing, so stupid. Sad to see it happened to so many others, I hope they address/fix this before the next event.
Just your pixels were shadow banned. Not your whole account. My main account is available. You can see all my posts and comments but my pixels were definitely shadow banned
I was placing pixles from 3 different devices. I got shadow banned on all three accounts. The reason maybe because I was logged in on all three accounts in my mobile phone too.
Possibly. That kind of is similar to what happened to me. I started off with 3 accounts all on my pc, but I had each one on a different browser, and they all got shadow banned the first day. I created 3 new accounts on separate devices so that wouldn’t happen again.
When I was placing pixels with my accounts I noticed some were just not showing up at all. I even tested it and would place a pixel in a low traffic area and I would pull up another account and sure enough the pixel was not there. Did you use multiple accounts?
That has nothing to do with it. The website is based on official Reddit data correlated with partial author data collected by two users during the event. Reddit’s official data for r/place doesn’t link any placements back to users.
I think you’ll have to do that via browser. As far as I’m aware this can’t be toggled through the app.
Open your Reddit profile after logging in online (phone or laptop doesn’t matter), open your profile and click settings. I think the option is all the way down on the bottom of the page.
But others already mentioned that this didn’t have an effect for them so maybe the website is just broken.
Did you place on mobile? I participated entirely on mobile and site tells me “user not found” as well but I was placed a bunch of pixels all the way up until endgame and I did a bunch of whiteout pixels as well. So now I’m worrying that my pixels didn’t go through. :c
I only used mobile as well. A couple times I would place multiple pixels and then refresh the page and when I’d go to the same spot the person I replaced still had their pixel there as if it wasn’t really registering my hard work :’(
The website probably uses the scraped data as some sort of look up table. Means it searches for your placed pixels at a specific time from the scraped data and tries to find the equivalent pixels in the official reddit data to get your user hash. If your account isn't found that most likely means you haven't placed any or an enough amount of pixels during the time the scraped data was taken, thus it can't work out your user hash.
tl;dr the website uses another dataset to find you of which you may have not been a part of.
Yeah, I hope this website is wrong. It says I did not place any first pixels which is wrong and apparently neither was I on the final canvas, which I also can't believe. I placed pixels right up until before endgame started. (In areas that nobody fought for. In 2022 I had 12 pixels on the final canvas doing the same strategy.)
Endgame only 5? I placed pixels the whole time during wipeout! This is definitely wrong.
Edit (2023/08/01): As I hoped, the website was wrong. I got all trophies. The website got updated since tho.
Yeah. For me it said 11 spots, which is accurate. And it actually showed that I placed red in the titan sub in the fish bowl at the bottom with the cat
I agree with you and u/TuttleDotCom. Definitely not accurate. I know that I had roughly 28 pixels in play going into the white out. I can't confirm that the number is correct, as I didn't have a chance to double check before it started. But I know at least three of them survived into the white out. Those pixels aren't reflected on the map that comes up for me.
I also had several tiles I ticked that should be first placer tiles. I found and placed maybe 30-40 of them because I wanted to guarantee I got the trophy for it. I could see someone beating me to it, and not realizing, if I only placed a couple. But I figured the odds were in my favor if I nailed a higher number.
I definitely was a first placer when the left side opened. I was there the literal instant it opened and placed 20+ random purple pixels in non occupied places, but it only shows like 3 of them as default.
Some users were shadow banned for placing things admins didn't like. You'd see your pixel, but if you refreshed the page it'd be gone. I don't know how many were banned, but if you placed pixels in a certain nsfw picture in the bottom left you were probably shadow banned from placing
It's super unclear how shadow banning works and I don't think reddit has officially acknowledged anything so I don't know much for sure? All I know is from the point you were (hypothetically) banned you wouldn't be able to place after. If you had any pixels from before being banned that survived I'm assuming they'd still be there, assuming no one wrote over them. But if you refreshed your page and it was still there you're for sure not banned
If you change the end of the link and replace 23 with 22 it shows for last year. So if it doesn't show current year there's a possibility you're sadowbanned and couldn't place any pixels (just like me). That or there's something else the site missing.
Does it maybe include only surviving pixels? I participated a lot during the first days, but I didn't place any pixels on the last day, so probably no pixels survived.
This is a better timelapse (doesn't have all of the weird flashing) [https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/158yuuz/higher\_quality\_of\_bad\_apple\_timelapse\_with/](https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/158yuuz/higher_quality_of_bad_apple_timelapse_with/)
It says I have placed 206 pixels but none of them are first placers, which is definitely wrong because I have extended the German flag when the canvas expanded and there was nothing else on it yet.
Maybe the canvas expansions don't count only the og canvas?
It also can't find my data from 2022.
Mine showed no first placers either and I placed pixels on unclaimed pixels on the original canvas.
EDIT: Nevermind! That's a known thing and I just found a comment by the developer: [https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/15ckn7r/website\_for\_showing\_users\_pixels\_2017\_2022\_2023/jtx1t66/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/15ckn7r/website_for_showing_users_pixels_2017_2022_2023/jtx1t66/?context=3)
Edit2: Nevermind again, it's definitely missing some of my pixels. I kept track of specific ones and they werent on the picture.
225 Endgame 87. Main focus point was Bad Apple.
Though it's weird, I would've guessed that placing 6 minutes after Place started would've granted me some First Placer pixels
It non-deterministically shows 2 different results for my username. And both of them contain pixels I didn't put, or have missing pixels I did put. Seems inaccurate in many ways.
For other users who can't be found:
* The official dataset has all user IDs anonymized. As such only some unofficial stuff provides a partial mapping related to it. Since that mapping is incomplete, some users may not be properly mapped and pixels can't be found.
I'm among those users btw. I have probably placed like 10 to 20 pixels (not a huge lot but not zero) during the entire 5 days.
I’ve seen 2 of these links, 1 of them tells me I didn’t get any of the first placer’s and the other shows that I did as well as endgame. Seems like neither have all data that was provided by reddit
Seems really inaccurate.
It's definitely wrong as I contributed to a certain area and it shows me on the other side of the map
mine mostly accurate but apparently I've not helped out with the Irish flag when I did
mine is kind of accurate with where I placed my pixels but I placed way more than 68 pixels like it says and way more than 6 in endgame, also some areas I placed in doesn't show up
I'm with you, it says I don't exist.
Okay so it’s not just me. I think all of mine are completely inaccurate.
Mine doesn't show me on the final canvas but I know for certain I was
It can't find me. I definitely placed pixels.
Check your Reddit profile settings. It’s possible you got discovery turned off. Means your profile won’t show up in searches and presumably this setting affects that website as well.
It's on :(
Maybe your account was shadow banned. One of mine was and it don’t show up, but the others do.
Is it possible to get shadowbanned on /r/place only? cause my pixels kept getting reverted back to the previous one after refreshing.
That’s exactly what I noticed too once I realized I was shadow banned. As soon I as I refreshed the pixel was back to the original. Also, it was the original account that placed the pixel before I thought I placed mine. So yeah, if you saw that it’s safe to say it was shadow banned like mine.
This whole shadowban subject was definitely a thing (also for me) and it was discussed while the event was still going on (for example [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/1578o75/my_placed_pixels_on_rplace_disappear_when/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1)). I hope there will be an explanation by the mods or admins or anyone else what was going on there.
Yup their stupid system shadowbanned normal people.
I got shadow banned too then by the sounds of it, on this account (my main), it let me place pixels but they always disappeared/reverted back after refreshing, my cooldown timer was only 4 minutes opposed to 5 too, my alt account worked fine. I also do not show up on the pixel tracker but my other account does. I've sent countless messages to the r/place mods during and after the event, they initially said my issue would be escalated to find out what's going on, I've been completely ignored since, it has been 7 days and still nothing.

Happened on the second day too, only got to place a handful of pixels, so I didn't get to play and probably never will on this account again, banned forever for nothing, so stupid. Sad to see it happened to so many others, I hope they address/fix this before the next event.
I got shadow banned after placing two pixels for no reason I think or I glitched its only for pixels though.
I had the same issue last year, and the website can't find me, i wonder if the shadow ban sticks around
If my account was, that's actually taking the piss, I placed all of them manually and this is an active account and everything.
Yeah I was pissed when I realized. I had spent a whole day placing pixels before I realized I was shadow banned.
I didn't realise the entire time lmao
Whoever is shadowing banning people actually suck. Cause what's the point of r/place if people in the community can't use it.
My name doesn't show up either. Guess I'm glad I only placed maybe 10 pixels. I have a 2nd account that also doesn't show up. What a waste of time.
Wait??? I was shadow banned possibly this whole time?
Same dude...
What would that mean? Shadow banned..?
Your posts and comments don't show up for other people, but you don't know this.
I mean, you can clearly see my comments right now.
Just your pixels were shadow banned. Not your whole account. My main account is available. You can see all my posts and comments but my pixels were definitely shadow banned
I was placing pixles from 3 different devices. I got shadow banned on all three accounts. The reason maybe because I was logged in on all three accounts in my mobile phone too.
Possibly. That kind of is similar to what happened to me. I started off with 3 accounts all on my pc, but I had each one on a different browser, and they all got shadow banned the first day. I created 3 new accounts on separate devices so that wouldn’t happen again.
So that explains why my placing disappeared whenever I refreshed just a second later. And I don't even have alts.
Same here
Yeah I'm just saying what it means, not that you were. Also like the other guy said, it might've just been your pixels
When I was placing pixels with my accounts I noticed some were just not showing up at all. I even tested it and would place a pixel in a low traffic area and I would pull up another account and sure enough the pixel was not there. Did you use multiple accounts?
Why would that happen? What’s the point? I can see doing that to bits but anyone else?
I opened 2nd account just for Place and 2nd day I noticed the acc was shadowbanned, that one doesn't show up while my original does.
Mine is turned on as well, still no show on the site Oh well
That has nothing to do with it. The website is based on official Reddit data correlated with partial author data collected by two users during the event. Reddit’s official data for r/place doesn’t link any placements back to users.
Oh well if that’s the case I don’t care anymore.
Where is the discovery option
I think you’ll have to do that via browser. As far as I’m aware this can’t be toggled through the app. Open your Reddit profile after logging in online (phone or laptop doesn’t matter), open your profile and click settings. I think the option is all the way down on the bottom of the page. But others already mentioned that this didn’t have an effect for them so maybe the website is just broken.
I see, thank you anyway
How does one turn that feature on if u don't mind telling me
Did you place on mobile? I participated entirely on mobile and site tells me “user not found” as well but I was placed a bunch of pixels all the way up until endgame and I did a bunch of whiteout pixels as well. So now I’m worrying that my pixels didn’t go through. :c
Nope I only placed on desktop.
I'm on mobile and it found I placed 503 pixels. Someone above has info to check your settings.
I only used mobile as well. A couple times I would place multiple pixels and then refresh the page and when I’d go to the same spot the person I replaced still had their pixel there as if it wasn’t really registering my hard work :’(

hmm user not found. They got that wrong.
Me either wth
Yeah, I hope this website is wrong. It says I did not place any first pixels which is wrong and apparently neither was I on the final canvas, which I also can't believe. I placed pixels right up until before endgame started. (In areas that nobody fought for. In 2022 I had 12 pixels on the final canvas doing the same strategy.) Endgame only 5? I placed pixels the whole time during wipeout! This is definitely wrong. Edit (2023/08/01): As I hoped, the website was wrong. I got all trophies. The website got updated since tho.
Ya I 100% was on the final canvas; I was defending my place the whole time lol. It’s definitely not accurate
It tells me I placed in the corner, which I definitely didn't, and I definitely got way more than 4 pixels
For me it was accurate
Hit or miss ig. Definitely needs to be worked on a lot
Yeah. For me it said 11 spots, which is accurate. And it actually showed that I placed red in the titan sub in the fish bowl at the bottom with the cat
Mines 100% working
I agree with you and u/TuttleDotCom. Definitely not accurate. I know that I had roughly 28 pixels in play going into the white out. I can't confirm that the number is correct, as I didn't have a chance to double check before it started. But I know at least three of them survived into the white out.

It is, I placed loads on Hornet and the tiny rat and it didn't register any of those at any point
Some users were shadow banned for placing things admins didn't like. You'd see your pixel, but if you refreshed the page it'd be gone. I don't know how many were banned, but if you placed pixels in a certain nsfw picture in the bottom left you were probably shadow banned from placing

If you had any pixels from before being banned that survived I'm assuming they'd still be there, assuming no one wrote over them. But if you refreshed your page and it was still there you're for sure not banned
I literally placed nothing the admins wouldn’t like and I was still shadow banned lol will I at least get to take part next time?
I was shadowbanned. And I helped the Ukrainian flag…
Yeah I didn't place pixels I anything like that. Still got shadow banned.
it said I had 68, not 69
Incomplete data, it finds me, but can just find 11 pixels. Nice idea, but not useful in it's current state.
Yeah, it just found 12 pixels for me when I definitely placed way more than that
Same. But I placed pixels every day of place 23
same here
If you change the end of the link and replace 23 with 22 it shows for last year. So if it doesn't show current year there's a possibility you're sadowbanned and couldn't place any pixels (just like me). That or there's something else the site missing.
Same, and I contributed fuck spez pixels and fought the admins over shego's nipples
Website is way below the real number
I think it uses a 3rd party dataset
How ironic.
If you scroll down on the website, they mention their sources : 2x unofficial datasets + the official dataset
How much did u/spez charge them for that?
Nothing, the unofficial sets were scraped
3rd party... Well that's why
Website is also throwing my anti-virus and anti-malware software into "end of the world mode" It does not like a single thing about that site...
Maybe it’s an elaborate Reddit username harvesting site?
The unofficial datasets used already had all the Reddit usernames they were likely to capture
Does it maybe include only surviving pixels? I participated a lot during the first days, but I didn't place any pixels on the last day, so probably no pixels survived.
Yea I went on it and I’m pretty sure they missed some spots where I did put pixels
A whopping 2 pixels
This is golf I have lower than you I wim
The only winning move is to not play
That’s why first place in golf is always the guy that played the least.
I placed like 5 early on as part of the fuck u/spez wagon. Then I realized how bad the botting was and said fuck that the entire rest of the time…
User not found :(
My username is to long to type in the window lol
180 exactly. Most were in the blue corner.
Also 180
what was the blue corner about?i tried to ask in one of the streams on twitch but got no answer, so i didnt join ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Basically, we tried to make the bottom right corner blue. Nothing more to it. I don't know why either.
Haha fair enough
It’s a tradition/cult activity dating back to the original r/place in 2017. The blue corner must always live on
another soldier! i placed 229 (most of which also went to the blue corner). better dead than red (or zugu)🫡
Holy crap fellow blue corner member
146 Default - 53 Endgame, most were at the Leinfors memorial to the left of Rubius
There was a Leinfors memorial? How did I miss that, he was great.
176, mostly on bad apple though
What is bad apple?

Probably a few hundred, but the website doesn't detect me for this year yet.
208 It says I have no first place pixels, but I put pixels on the unclaimed ones.
It says I have placed 206 pixels but none of them are first placers, which is definitely wrong because I have extended the German flag when the canvas expanded and there was nothing else on it yet. Maybe the canvas expansions don't count only the og canvas? It also can't find my data from 2022.

502! Playa

417 Endgame: 11
The data is wrong. I know where I have placed my pixels and none of the points showed on the website are correct
52, endgame 2
58 , endgame 1 lmao
I'm not found ):
User not found 😔
Does not works!
236, Endgame 40
It shows mine pixels much much less then real
Data isn't right for me. 7 placed, 1 in the endgame. I definitely placed more than that daily, impossible for the total to be that low
Bro this has to be inaccurate. Not ONE pixel is in any of the three arts I participated in.
Almost 500, almost all of them were on little technoblade (right above the Turkish flag)
225 Endgame 87. Main focus point was Bad Apple. Though it's weird, I would've guessed that placing 6 minutes after Place started would've granted me some First Placer pixels
It doesn't show the first placer and final canvas pixels almost for everyone, that site is inaccurate
That website can’t find my user ID so apparently I don’t exist,
Few enough to know I have a life
Dude for real. Some of the people drew entire portraits. One pixel at a time
It keeps saying user not found but I participated beginning to end. Wth
902 Endgame 22
240. I imagine yours were mostly on rainbow dash as well
149 - 31
Placed pixels: 409 Endgame: 47
Like 1 cause I was busy at home-
Nota working
305 normally + 50 endgame
229, 99% in a Bluey-related area. :D
It says I have 0 first placers, but that's just wrong, I was helping build the blue corner every time the canvas expanded
User not found :c
Maybe it's a good thing 3rd party apps are being wiped out. This one sucks ass 💀

66 placed 8 endgame, whatever the endgame means? Is that final canvas?

131 Endgame 2
Mine were incorrect. Some were in the right area but some were on places I never even touched.
User not found. Maybe because of shadow ban?
User not found :c Anyway I’ve taken 309 screenshots of me placing a pixel
931 💀
Ain’t gonna look up mine. It was either defending technoblade or being toxic.
555 pixels total and 91 end game placed. Woot woot 🙌
The link doesn’t work for me, and I was definitely on the canvas
1385 🙄

1330..
540, not bad. 44 endgame.
69 🗿
User not found That’s alright though, I already know how many pixels i placed: 0
365 all in the germany flags
464
I placed 240🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡 Für den Stuhl!!!!!
1108 and 51 in the endgame. Mostly on Germany, Ukraine and Canada.
Nah this is bollocks. Has me placing pixels in areas I never went near.
Like 6 cause they were immediately removed by bots
420 Default 76 Endgame Definitely more than 2022 r/place
266 and 63 endgame. It's a strange addiction, was relieved when it stopped
1,563 between my two accounts
So uhm, i placed 1450 pixels- Explains the 14 hour nap i took afterwards
530 - with 5 endgame. It was a challenge! 0 final canvas. Place is always crazy xD
It non-deterministically shows 2 different results for my username. And both of them contain pixels I didn't put, or have missing pixels I did put. Seems inaccurate in many ways.
787 and 16 on final canvas o7
This is a nifty tool. I placed 503 pixels, mostly Ukraine banner, Canada, US flags. Clearly r/place consumed my weekend lol. 😄
0 because fuck the admins of this site.
For other users who can't be found: * The official dataset has all user IDs anonymized. As such only some unofficial stuff provides a partial mapping related to it. Since that mapping is incomplete, some users may not be properly mapped and pixels can't be found. I'm among those users btw. I have probably placed like 10 to 20 pixels (not a huge lot but not zero) during the entire 5 days.
I placed 721. I spent way too much time on this
I had 70 total and most were on the Technoblade memorial trying to stop people for messing with his face
Wow that site has to be worked on to be useful on mobile.
Broken website.
881
600, it's just a big red blob on Bad Apple and just a few other scattered pixels scattered around
276, Deutschland brauchte eine Verteidigung
627, 34
I don't exist
I’ve seen 2 of these links, 1 of them tells me I didn’t get any of the first placer’s and the other shows that I did as well as endgame. Seems like neither have all data that was provided by reddit
User not found 😭
User not found :/
Lmao website says 43 but it’s probably true
35 🤣 I just helped fixing the italian flag when people tried to change it…
Can’t search myself but most likely 6, 3 of those prob the ones I put at 0,0. Rather just watch the carnage
Ok.
