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.
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.
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.
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

This is the true final blow to third party apps.

old-reddit can still do it while logged out. It’s only new-reddit that requires logging in.
Request the desktop site. Just tried it in Firefox on Android and it no longer says to open in app.
Or use old.reddit.com too.

That’s a false dichotomy. Tiddies ARE a technical solution for feeding babies and attracting mates.
…or so I hear?

Or don’t use it.
Reddit doesn’t respect that on iPhones through any browser.
So anti consumer it hurts.
I logged onto Apollo using side loading. NSFW still works??
They even do the same thing with SFW posts, they just say it’s “unreviewed content” or whatever.
