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.

It’s not all NSFW. The Synology community I followed went full NSFW in protest and I can still view their subreddit. I cannot view subreddits such as watchitfortheplot. So somehow Reddit is differentiating.

    Well I know they forced some subreddits go back to SFW if it was obvious the NSFW was just to protest. Maybe that's the case for the subreddit you're looking at?

    NSFW means no ads as well.

    I also remember the announcement was sexually explicit content won’t be served through the api, so they must have a way to differentiate then.
