Reddit now won't let non-logged in users see subreddits until they've been "reviewed" - Lemmy.world

This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times. Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it’s only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

Ehhhh. This could just be their current stopgap because of all of the NSFW swaps happening. I think you are extrapolating too much.

Don’t get me wrong, I could totally see Reddit enacting this policy in their “infinite wisdom.“ But you are drawing way too much from this screenshot. We need more context.

It has been like this for like a year

Yes with NSFW subs specifically. OP did not post a NSFW sub.

And I didn’t say it was specific to NSFW subs. It’s been like this for most subs since like a year. They restricted nsfw subs years ago.

I have seen it prompt me to go do the app but never seen it require so it might be in A/B testing/a partial rollout phase. Who knows? Point is we don't have enough info here. Either way obviously they're going to try and drive folks to the app. Frankly i don't care though, I purged my account and moved on. If people want to suffer reddit's increasingly poor decision making and changes they can be my guest.
