Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always "unmoderated" despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.


Edit: seems to have been a bug in automation (thanks @[email protected]):

It's still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.

It's not only porn. Today i google-image searched a skin condition. Most results were reddit links, but i wasn't able to open any of them without their app as the subreddits were apparently 18+!

I wasn't able to view any of the information as i refuse to install the app. Google should deprioritize the results that can't be viewed in the browser.

You should still be able to navigate to those posts by changing the link to old.reddit.com. But I assume that will go away at some point too.

And the Firefox extension "old Reddit redirect" does it for you!

I love that extension

Or just switching to Show Desktop Site

In the top right of your internet browser, there should be a menu button. If you hit that, there should be a "Desktop Site" button. If you check that, the app prompt goes away. It's annoying that it's required, but at least you won't be locked out

Just request desktop mode, that bypasses it.
