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.

    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.

        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

          Last I heard, iThings weren’t allowed to have other browsers, everything just had to be a different UI on top of Safari.

            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)

        I’d recommend setting one’s own browser to automatically redirect to old.reddit.com for the occasion they might need to find that rare technical solution/see sum tiddies.

      I just did a quick test with the DuckDuckGo browser. Didn’t seem to have any issues loading a bunch of NSFW posts. You have to be signed in though, but I think it’s been like that for quite a while now.

      They even do the same thing with SFW posts, they just say it’s “unreviewed content” or whatever.
