From that thread:
https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1nzbt8b/reddit_has_banned_rlemmy/ni26gw0/
The sub creator got suspended. Checked the Wayback Machine on their profile reveals they are very vocal about certain political issues in Lebanon (in April 2025, last archive). There is a very high chance of something related to that.
Possibly not related to the fact that /r/Lemmy dealt with Lemmy.
EDIT: Someone in that thread also mentioned that /r/lemmy2 was created in response, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens there. If it stays up, probably unrelated to the subreddit being about Lemmy.
Interested in knowing what they posted. I feel like I was the only Lebanese regular on Lemmy/Piefed, or at least the only vocal one, until a few months ago.
I don’t think Reddit views Lemmy as a threat big enough to ban it. They’d probably shadow ban first. Or tweak the algorithm to limit views.
Yeah, seems almost too blunt of a method.
