You also can't look at reddit on any third-party app now.

I'm still able to on Relay. The dev announced he has to move to a subscription model but its still free for the time being and seems to work fine still.

I am Relay too and just checked. All NSFW posts are now gone. A "Go to Reddit to view mature content" post is all that returns. Gaddamit reddit. I really hope they burn and they end up in business text books in the future to teach future CEOs how not to run a company.

If you become the mod of a subreddit, you can still get NSFW content through the still functioning third party apps. Just create you own subreddit. Not exactly sure why it works, something along the lines of moderators still need to view NSFW posts or something like that. Wierd how they say you need to use the official app to verify your age, but there is no age verification on becoming a moderator.

There won't be any space left in the book after they cover elon musk.

The Internet is for porn. Reddit does not allow porn. Therefore, reddit is not on the Internet.

A valid and sound argument, if I've ever heard one.

or use old.reddit.com?

Honestly, i thought I would miss reddit more, but I haven't been back since I moved here and haven't thought about it one bit. I expect I'll still end up on reddit occasionally when I search for something, but I don't see myself ever posting there again.

It's been refreshing that my lemmy subscription feed is purely related to my hobbies and misc interests and makes me want to come back more often. my main reddit feed has been so full of unnecessary filler for a while now, im actually getting more value out of browsing here instead

But yea idk if the habit of adding site:reddit.com to searches is gonna go away any time soon lol

Why didn't you just unsubscribe from subreddits you didn't want to see?

I would from time to time. If posts from a sub annoyed me I'd unsub. But even the subs I still enjoy had gone down in quality over time. Whether its bots stealing comments, bots reposting recent popular posts, or something that looks like a discussion only to see its a long thread of 3 people arguing relentlessly over semantics. So starting fresh has been nice.

I go back during f1 races because the community here is not big enough for discussion and also I got banned from discord server for promoting piracy.

It shows up in my search results but I refuse to click it. May just blacklist it at the dns level at this point, like a malicious site.

you can always browse it thru a privacy-friendly frontend that scrapes the site, like libreddit or teddit. This way you get any answers or whatever you might want, no ads or bloat, and reddit inc doesn't benefit

So if mods make the subreddits SFW, will that work on third party apps?

Because I think if government regulations was in play, then this move will cause Reddit a lot of headache.

Idk why but rif started working for me again today. Porn and all.

Nvm I double checked and porn no longer works. It did a few hours ago though.

Something something just be one website and it will be called bring back the porn. It’s sad to watch Reddit die but it’s nice to have alternatives now.

You definitely can.

You just need to login to reddit in a browser quickly and make a private subreddit.

Third party app and NSFW access restored: they seem to have excepted mods from the changes
