Interestingly probably also soon true of reddit where this is posted, in the last few days they've been showing a "get the app to continue browsing" on the mobile site. It's possible for now to use desktop view still but clearly everyone is on the path towards "create an account to view user content".

Maybe it'll spawn new interest in the fediverse.

Even if Reddit is still accessible from the browser, the discussion culture is already wrecked since the vast majority of people are on the mobile app. That interface encourages one-line posts instead of substantial discussion, and it will sometimes even hide a lot of posts (even when upvoted) from most users, so that one is just talking to the void. Look elsewhere for real community.
