rplace.tk is a project with an intent to revive the original r/place 2022 experience. It was founded by BlobKat and Zekiah. The website has a little-known community with a very saturated history.
Interface
Controls
When you enter the website for the first time, you enter the very center of Canvas 1. You may navigate the canvas by dragging the canvas with your mouse, clicking on a pixel to move to it, or by using the arrow keys. Pixels can be placed using the color selector, accessible by pressing the "Place a pixel" button at the bottom of the screen, or by using the key on the keyboard which corresponds with the color to be placed.
Navigation
By selecting the triple-dot icon in the top left of the screen, a Reddit-inspired user interface is revealed, featuring links to other canvases, useful tools, as well as some other websites.
Overlays
By pressing the "O" key, or by pressing the Overlay button in the navigator, an overlay menu can be accessed. A 1:1 scale drawing of a planned build must be uploaded in order for it to work properly. Parameters that may currently be changed are the overlay opacity and the coordinates of the top left corner of the overlay.
Timelapses
A partially functioning timelapse tool is present on the website.
Accounts
Account management was a short-lived feature of rplace.tk. It was removed due to its lack of functionality for the time. Plenty of features are available if you register, e.g. a dashboard for self-hosted canvases, though you were unable to register.
Development history
The website was launched on 5 April, 2022, shortly after the r/place event, as a rehabilitation and continuation of it.
The rules
"You may not use more than one bot"[1]
In the early months rplace.tk staff would often perform rollbacks due to mass scale botting, or the construction of nazi/nsfw content, however with the deprecation of the moderation tools, and a general loosening on the rules, such moderation was eventually relegated to players self erasing such content by placing pixels over.

Please use common sense, botting a massive area just to grief or print scams is obviously not going to fly and will be removed. Keep in mind we are not liable for any damage or malware you receive due to the use of a community bot, we recommend that you only make use of bots if they are trusted and open source, and you do so at your own risk."
