You Can't Look at Porn on Any Reddit Third-Party App Now - Lemmy.world

Following changes to its API access, users are forced to log in on the official Reddit app if they want to view NSFW content on mobile.

What’s a Reddit?

I've heard it was a popular discussion place people would go to. Even called the front page of the internet because it was the first and best source for compiled news and information. Its CEO had some quotes that showed how important free flow of information was.

"I don't think we should silence people just because their viewpoints are something we disagree with. There is value in the conversation, and we as a society need to confront these issues. This is an incredibly complex topic, and I'm sure our thinking will continue to evolve."

"We are not the thought police. It's not the role of a private company to decide what people can and cannot say."

He was also forward thinking in designing an open forum, controlled by individuals.

"Our approach to governance is that communities can set appropriate standards around language for themselves. Many communities have rules around speech that are more restrictive than our own, and we fully support those rules."

Wait, that sounds more like the Fediverse.

It doesn’t look like anything to me.
A lot of deleted comments
A featherless biped

This is the true final blow to third party apps.

I noticed they did something similar to the mobile website. Even with appropriate content blockers there’s absolutely no way you can see sexually explicit content on mobile without their app.

Request the desktop site. Just tried it in Firefox on Android and it no longer says to open in app.

Or use old.reddit.com too.

Reddit doesn’t respect that on iPhones through any browser.

So anti consumer it hurts.

Last I heard, iThings weren’t allowed to have other browsers, everything just had to be a different UI on top of Safari.
Yes that’s true. That’s why I can confidently say any browser because they are all the same.
Desktop Browser seems to be able to bypass some forced restrictions Safari has. Doesn’t seem to work for Reddit, though.

Wow that’s awful. I didn’t think I could hate apple anymore than I have been for the last 17 years (I still remember the time my friend tried copying my music collection to is ipod and itunes deleted the entire folder)

Or use old.reddit.com too.

Interesting calculus here. Before the r/pocalyspe/I’d have said old-reddit was on a 3 month clock to being summarily retired

They also likely lost way more users than they anticipated through the blackouts, and might just let old-reddit be to protect their numbers until the IPO. As long as its not on default Main page, I doubt the advertisers will care. They’ll kill it when they can do so quickly and quietly

I logged onto Apollo using side loading. NSFW still works??
They need to get the coomers into their app with “incognito mode”
Is r/ trying to do the scientology/Catholic thing where they want to see what you jerk off to in order to use it as blackmail material?
Hmm seems I can still access from ravanced Sync
also, supposedly, if you're a moderator you can access nsfw blocking
reddit bypasses this block automatic if you are moderator. even if it’s just your own sub you just created. being a mod disables this block on all subs
I can access NSFW content with Revanced Sync as well, and I’m not a mod.
Shit platform hits rock bottom and continues digging
I'm having Tumblr flashbacks.
Interestingly r/PICS still works despite being tagged NSFW (or so I thought?)
Yes, some nsfw posts go through. I assume reddit is using some kind of nudity detector. Or is there a 18+ flag you can apply independently of nsfw?
I think reddit has an internal distinction between NSFW and “sexually explicit”, and it’s at least partially set by the whims of reddit admins instead of sub mods.
Not just porn! Since reddit only has one such tag you can apply to posts, many subreddits were using the NSFW tag for a wider variety of reasons such as spoilers, content which may contain unsettling material (aka “triggers”), and more!
To be fair, there's been a site wide spoiler tag for a few years now, but yeah before it was introduced people used NSFW for that if a community didn't allow actual NSFW stuff or whatever

t porn! Since reddit only has one such

It is only porn for now. NSFW content like injuries or triggers like you said aren’t part of it

users are forced to log in on the official Reddit app if they want to view NSFW content on mobile.

the OP literally said it's for all NSFW contents.

The stoners on Reddit got screwed - many of the weed subs got the banhammer, and the rest got NSFW’d because spez wants Reddit as G-rated as Disney for the IPO.
It’s not all NSFW. The Synology community I followed went full NSFW in protest and I can still view their subreddit. I cannot view subreddits such as watchitfortheplot. So somehow Reddit is differentiating.
Well I know they forced some subreddits go back to SFW if it was obvious the NSFW was just to protest. Maybe that’s the case for the subreddit you’re looking at?
How’s the porn on lemmy/lemmy.world?

One of the larger instances is lemmynsfw.com, there’s a fair amount of porn there.

Not quite the levels there are on Reddit, though. And very little OC from what I’ve seen.

Yeah it kind of just...not very good at the moment. Kinda like early 2000's internet porn. Still images of celebrities and such.
Even the mightiest of rivers begins with but a trickle.
Well it was very different a couple days ago. Things got shook up apparently, I don’t know the full story but a bunch of communities got wiped for some reason.

Is lemmy.world entirely sfw?
No, it has NSFW communities and also federates with other NSFW instances like lemmynsfw.com and pornlemmy.com
The admin is a pedo (check the loli comment).

Nowhere near to the same level of niche.
Fediverse is strangely prudish. Not much porn, and when it shows up, instances defederate from it.
still works in Narwhal…
reddit made it so if you’re moderator, you can still watch nsfw on EVERY sub. so if you made your own sub or moderate one… its bypassed basically.
I used Reddit partly because I didn’t want to pay for porn.
Still works on Narwhal. I have an update pending so that could patch it.
No working for me on Narwhal. Sad face.
yes you can. you just have to be a moderator of ANY subreddit. so if you create your own subreddit or moderate already one, nsfw is still enabled.
This works even if you create a private subreddit, and it just takes like 30 seconds. I'm now proudly moderating r/fuckuspez1.

I must be a mod of a sub without me realising then. I’m using Apollo via side loading and NSFW still works.

Unless it’s banned just on the ones like narwhal and dystopia?

Fine by me. I turn that off anyway. Don’t want to see it there.

And you just use desktop mode

Not just nsfw content, it’s bullshit when any site tries to force you to use an app because of a bit of text in your browser profile

Facebook did it for years and any site that does it I avoid

Still works for me on Sync via the ReVanced bypass.
how down bad do you have to be to jerk off mobiley? humanity is doomed
