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.

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.

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.
