r/PlaceNL: the record
The Dutch area was built by many communities, and r/PlaceNL joined it on the second day. Its record starts with a post calling itself the official coordination. Most hands that built the area left no post in the community that claimed it.

Pixel changes per hour inside r/PlaceNL’s eight atlas polygons. The bars start before the community’s record: the Dutch area was built by many communities, and r/PlaceNL only joined it on the second day. The figure counts what landed in the region, not what the community’s writers placed.

“Its own”: placements in the smallest polygon that holds them. The Entire Dutch Area is an umbrella: 448,803 placements fall inside it, 15,618 of them its own. The atlas is an outcome, never evidence of what the community meant.
