99% sure the reason is push notifications.

Putting on my PM hat, I bet:

- On web, the biggest top of funnel entrypoint for Reddit is Google search

- On mobile, it’s push notifications

The latter is probably the single biggest retention lever Reddit has. The former is an acquisition lever, but probably doesn’t do much for retention.
