Being forced to download the Reddit app onto my phone to view any 'NSFW' post, even though I'm on my desktop

Dehydrated , 5 months ago

Libreddit should fix this

Moonrise2473 , 5 months ago

Until they finish to ban all the datacenter IPs. For example I can no longer access reddit from the IP address of my server (I self host my VPN)

avater , 5 months ago

Do you really want our pity for still being on that shitty platform?

mac , 5 months ago

Annoyingly there are still some good threads related to questions I've asked etc.

avater , 5 months ago

🤷

Ookami38 , 5 months ago

Pity, no. A shared expression of annoyance at a platform we all used to enjoy becoming further and further enshittified, yes.

avater , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

Nah. Life is to short to be annoyed by some shitty social media platform. Move on.

ji17br , 5 months ago

Initially I agreed with the guy above you, and then I read your comment. Pretty refreshing take.

gravitas_deficiency , 5 months ago

Does old.reddit.com not resolve anymore?

Riven , 5 months ago

I just use load desktop site on Firefox mobile and it's fine.

randint , 5 months ago

old.reddit.com works just fine. Logging in to view NSFW content is not required.

can , 5 months ago

For mobile I finally ended up patching Sync, primarily for more comfortably browsing when it comes up in search results, but I did notice it enabled nsfw as well.

Holdin the bewbies hostage for your data...

OutlierBlue , 5 months ago

If only there were any other places on the internet where you could find boobs.

GONADS125 , 5 months ago

This really irks me, because it applies to subs related to weed or other non-sexual content, including some games. I've also been hit with the same prompt to open the official app for subreddits that are "under review" or new.

I only go to reddit from search engine queries to get answers for a topic.

I just posted on reddit for the first time since the API disaster to get support for the watchmaker app (that is the dev's official source for support).

I noticed a weird glitch happening to me (mobile site on Firefox) in which if I edit a comment, it loses all formatting. Like, every space between 'paragraphs' dissappears, and so did the block quotes. It just put ">" in with the jumbled up mess...

eco_game , 5 months ago

I can highly recommend rdx for browsing reddit without an account

Randelung , 5 months ago

The "I built a reddit porn browser" has gone to shit with the amount and type of integration of ads. Desktop is fine with ad blocking, mobile is cancer.
I'm not linking it on purpose.

VonReposti , 5 months ago

On Android I'd recommend just installing Firefox along with uBlock Origin

SaltySalamander , 5 months ago

Adblocking on mobile works too...

cyberpunk007 , 5 months ago

"let us track you to view this post"

JustZ , 5 months ago

It's a data harvesting company now.

HootinNHollerin , 5 months ago

Like Facebook making you get messenger. No thanks

Fallofturkey , 5 months ago

That was the start of my end of using Facebook for sure

HootinNHollerin , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

Same. Then in 2020 I did a full stop when I saw my mom post some unhinged conspiracy bullshit

phoneymouse , 5 months ago

That was the moment I deleted Facebook from my phone. Deleted my account a short while later.

False, just go to old.reddit.com.

This worked for me:

• Start your own subreddit so you're a mod,

• mark it nsfw,

• don't need to post anything

and you should be able to access any nsfw in your feed when off-app.

misterundercoat , 5 months ago

This also worked for me:

I stopped using reddit, because it turned to shit.

deweydecibel , 5 months ago

I don't get why people around here insist on this circlejerk.

Yes, reddit is shit, it's been shit for years, we all know.

But there's still plenty of good stuff to find there that has not migrated over here.

grue , 5 months ago

Because continuing to prop up Reddit like you're advocating is why the remainder of the good stuff hasn't migrated over here yet.

Chriswild , 5 months ago

While I wish that were true it's just not that simple. People are creatures of habit and the experience has to be absolutely awful to get people to break habits, especially social habits. We're talking people will stay in abusive relationships where they get physically beat regularly because they are scared to change.

And009 , 5 months ago

Like 1000s of niche subs. It's still a great repo for info

Chainweasel , 5 months ago

They could also just login on desktop

Knitwear , 5 months ago

Wow I kinda assumed they'd done so, but looking at the screenshot you're right

Tier1BuildABear , 5 months ago

According to the title they are on desktop. My guess is they opened a mobile link on desktop

RaoulDook , 5 months ago

True, I don't use reddit on mobile at all anymore, since they killed 3rd party clients. No way in fuck would I install any social media company's program on my devices. It's open source apps for social media, or nothing.

Old reddit works fine in Firefox on the desktop. I use that when I'm bored enough to.

hellfire103 , 5 months ago

Since Old Reddit will be dead soon, have a look at kddit and Eddrit. They're like Libreddit, but not blocked (yet). However, you should try to avoid using them, as they get ratelimited quite easily.

Nouveau_Burnswick , 5 months ago

Libreddit is alive if you selfhost your own instance.

null , 5 months ago

Not always true anymore, my self-hosted instance died a few months back 😞

Seems like reddit is blocking IPs known to be VPS'.

Suppose I could spin it up on my home server, but I'd kinda rather just move on.

Nouveau_Burnswick , 5 months ago

Fair, my instance is on my homeserver.

koze , 5 months ago

Or use Rdx

beckerist , 5 months ago

old.reddit will be killed off before the ipo in March

mark my words

Stoneykins , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

Spez explicitly promised they wouldn't get rid of old reddit.

Which I took to mean they intend to ruin it by cramming all the shitty new features into it and taking away the things it does better.

Edit: I don't trust spez lmao I just think what he said might be a hint for how they will fuck reddit up going forward

kilgore_trout , 5 months ago

I understand it's not a good look, but:

1. Reddit used to auto-assign admins to unmoderated subreddits
2. It has nothing to do with his trustworthiness

bdonvr , 5 months ago

lololol wouldn't be the first time by far he's broken an explicit promise

Fedizen , 5 months ago

imagine thinking business leaders in the US have any honor or credibility.

waigl , 5 months ago

Sure, he promised...

deweydecibel , 5 months ago

I don't know, old.reddit feels like it probably serves some internal purposes, and it's a safe fallback for when they inevitably release buggy shit on the new site.

old.reddit will probably be broken or maybe even restricted more and more as time goes by (it already has been) but I don't see them killing it entirely.

prole , 5 months ago

At the very least, they will remove NSFW content from it.

oce , 5 months ago

Sounds likely that in the future, they will release changes that will break old and they will decide not to fix it.

PM_Your_Nudes_Please , 5 months ago

Ah yes, the AlienBlue treatment. Just stop updating it, and implement features that are almost laser-focused on breaking functionality.

CaptDust , 5 months ago

I thought I read old reddit still has a lot of mod tools that haven't been brought over yet, seemed to be it's main purpose for continuing to exist.

psud , 5 months ago

Old Reddit is the only place moderators have any 3rd party tools. When Reddit kills it, many more mods will quit. Large subs will be completely unmanageable
