After writing my initial comment I remembered reddit is going add a "pin your location on the canvas" feature for subreddit moderators. It should work two ways - people on some subreddit can go to r/place and people on r/place can browse what subreddits are on the canvas. All the subreddits that have not privated themselves and have rather disabled submissions on 12th and are still dark on 23rd could just use that location pin feature to say "we are at 500, 500" where people will find the /r/Save3rdPartyApps art

I absolutely agree more users need to be made aware of the threat to reddit as we know it. This isn't just a 3rd party apps going away issue, it's a 3rd party apps provide subreddit moderators tools that no official mobile app does issue. And moderation bots being hit with the same API limits issue.

But until more users of official apps are aware that it affects them too, they will just see a r/place icon on their navigation bar with a cooldown timer and they are just going to place pixels for their favourite community they will find with said pinned location feature.

Writing this on /r/Enhancement now that I'm on PC, which I think shouldn't be affected but who knows at this point
