A number of popular subreddits restricted users from accessing information from June 12-14 as a form of protest against Reddit's new policies that they say are severely hampering third-party apps.
A subreddit is a topic-specific community on the website Reddit.
Subreddits range from broad topics such as "r/WorldNews" to more niche interests, such as specific sports teams, locations or hobbies.
More than 8,000 subreddits pledged to join the protest, according to the Twitch streamer Reddark_247, who streamed a live view of subreddits that had "gone dark" in protest.
