Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users. If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit".
Lots of subcultures I care about exist only on Reddit. Queer ones, crafting ones, comics, art, science, etc. So when I got banned, it was a bit of a kick in the gut. Lemmy does not have the breadth of content yet, but it does have the queer, and importantly, the ability to talk politics again that I did not have any more on Reddit.
