From a sub with reasonable traffic non-tech sub that I moderate...

Normally I have ~75 new subscribers per day and less than 5 unsubscribes per day.

Just prior to the strike, the subscribers dropped to ~35.

At the start of the strike, unsubscribes went up to ~10 while new subscribers went up to ~100.

During the strike, the number of new subscribers went up to ~175. Other subs with a similar topics (and the big one) had gone private during that time.

I'm back to ~75 new subscribers per day.

As to old vs other... page views per day for the past 30 days (very spiky) and the previous 30 days

                       Past 30 days | Previous 30 days 
    Client              Low   High  |   Low   High
    old.reddit:         ~35   ~100  |   ~25    ~75
    new.reddit:        ~200   ~900  |  ~200   ~400
    Mobile web:        ~100   ~300  |  ~100   ~150
    Android client:   ~1000  ~2000  | ~1000  ~1500
    iOS client:       ~2000  ~6000  | ~2000  ~3000
    Total:            ~2500  ~9500  | ~3000  ~5000
The past 30 days have been very spiky. Not just a little, but very. The previous timeframe was very regular.

Old.reddit... yea, it doesn't have the numbers at all, though I'll note that most people using the sub appear to be people browsing on their phone as even new.reddit isn't that much higher than old.reddit stats.

I'm gonna say though, that for a sub that is for "regular people" - the most prolific users aren't 3rd party apps or old.reddit. At least not with with the people who browse this sub.

Now, for a tech oriented very low traffic sub... (and looking at its stats, it went way up during the strike since the high traffic ones closed from less than 500 page views to about 1500). Normally it gets a subscriber a day with 5 new subscribers being a significant growth... there were 55 new subscribers during the strike.

                       Past 7 days  | Previous 30 days
    Client              Low   High  |   Low   High
    old.reddit:         ~25    ~75  |   ~10    ~60
    new.reddit:        ~400   ~600  |   ~75   ~475
    Mobile web:        ~150   ~250  |   ~30   ~150

    iOS client:        ~400   ~700  |   ~25   ~250
    Total:            ~1000  ~1500  |  ~175  ~1000
New.reddit seems to be the preferred client there, though its such a small sample that its difficult to say much.

The API appears/is believed to to show up under mobile web as the bucket - along with people still using the mobile web client. The page served to a browser pretending to be an iPhone is doing calls against the newish gql.reddit.com APIs.

My understanding is that 3P apps used to be their own explicitly tracked category with a android/iOS split but then get mixed into the regular android/iOS categories with the first party client.


That changed a few months ago with the 'insights' replacing the 'traffic'.
