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.

You still can if you're a subreddit mod, so I just did this:

  1. Create your own private sub
  2. You become a mod! Yay!
  3. NSFW now works on 3rd party app

If you own a NSFW sub or are a moderator of one, you still have the possibility to see NSFW content over third-party apps / API

[-] pixelpop3@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

You just need to be a moderator of any subreddit. The subreddit itself doesn't need to be NSFW. The idea is that moderators could have a need to evaluate NSFW content on user profiles to make moderation decisions.

I just tested with Relay. I can view NSFW subs. I should note my account seems to be flagged as NSFW for posting to interestingasfuck after it went NSFW.

[-] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Well, actually, you can view it through Infinity.

RIP In Pieces Reddit. This is what will finally kill that site.

So how's the pr0n scene on Lemmy? Asking for a friend.

Do we really need porn Here? Im trying to figure that out for myself.

[-] sxan@midwest.social -5 points 1 year ago

If you want to grow, choose porn. It's been the singular driving force in adoption since the ARPA started funding the internet.

[-] kava@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

The market is already pretty saturated, though. There are so many other places to view this type of content and in a better format than a link aggregator.

Like, wouldn't Pornhub be a more streamlined way to look at porn? Or whatever other porn website?

I never understood the appeal of porn on reddit. I always just blocked the porn subs and went about my business.

Having said all that, I totally agree that it should be allowed or perhaps even encouraged. It's a free and open system - let the people do what they want. Even if I personally don't understand the appeal.

[-] sxan@midwest.social -2 points 1 year ago

You're probably right. I think it matters more to content creators than consumers? Like, posting porn to Reddit is often advertising? And like anything, people must get some form if satisfaction interactions on specialty subs. You can't just go to Pornhub and upload your favorite foot porn, right? Get upvotes, get that tiny dose of dopamine. Get to comment about how beautiful the girl is, hoping maybe she'll like your complement more than the other thirsty guys'.

Social media, man. Interaction, even meaningless... it's its own drug.

not true, still works on non-patched Boost

[-] nLuLukna@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I don't know what's going on with boost

[-] NightOwl@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

It is possible on Stealth which is an accountless option with options to use a teddit instance. Little reason to even have an account anymore on reddit, and for those who say subs. Stealth lets you have a feed too. And those that say saving comments or posts Stealth lets you do that too. All locally and exportable.

If you continue using reddit on the phone why let reddit keep harvesting account specific data while just lurking? Go use stealth instead over doing stuff like patching past third party apps and logging in and letting them track your activity then being drawn to add value to the platform through engagement by being tempted to upvotes, downvote, and post.

[-] pchem@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

A couple of them (such as Infinity) were granted an extension and still work.
