r/PlaceNL is the primary community of Dutch users in r/place. The r/PlaceNL community has made a lot of recognisable artworks in past events, including the De Nachtwacht Painting, the Zeven Provinciën Painting, the Starry Night Painting and more. During an r/place event, the Dutch community can often be found constructing their flag at the top of the canvas. The 2023 event differs from past events in that the Dutch flag was not at the top of the final canvas. This can be attributed to the fact that the canvas expanded upwards some days after the start of the event, and that a full-scale move to the new top was deemed not possible nor required by the community.

Starting within the broader r/thenetherlands subreddit during the 2017 event, the group split off into a seperate entity and grew in size during the 2022 and 2023 events, with the r/PlaceNL Discord server passing 10,000 members near the end of the 2023 r/place. The most recognisable work made by the community found in all events they have participated in is the Dutch flag (three horizontal stripes in red, white, and blue from top to bottom), with an added banner of orange, usually on top. The latter is in reference to the popular Dutch song "Oranje boven" (Orange on top) and the orange streamer ("wimpel") flown with the flag on special occassions, which are in turn references to the relationship of the Dutch royals with their country.
