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.
What’s a Reddit?
A piece of shit now
You still can if you’re a subreddit mod, so I just did this:
- Create your own private sub
- You become a mod! Yay!
- NSFW now works on 3rd party app
You can’t look at Reddit at all on third party apps now. Or did I miss a change to their API change?
This kills the platform.
It still works using my own API key
are there apps that are letting users create their own API keys and plug them in?
There are community tweaks, especially for Apollo, that let you insert your API key.
Revanced Manager allows you to patch a few third party apps with your own API key if you’re on android
Yup. I used it to patch sync with its own api key and remove all ads. It’s been working flawlessly, including nsfw content after creating my own sub to mod.
I’m not fully switching to lemmy until sync comes over, then Reddit can finally fuck off entirely.

can’t look at anything on most 3rd party apps to be fair…
If you own a NSFW sub or are a moderator of one, you still have the possibility to see NSFW content over third-party apps / API
You just need to be a moderator of any subreddit. The subreddit itself doesn’t need to be NSFW. The idea is that moderators could have a need to evaluate NSFW content on user profiles to make moderation decisions.
I just tested with Relay. I can view NSFW subs. I should note my account seems to be flagged as NSFW for posting to interestingasfuck after it went NSFW.
That was like, half the reason I used reddit, lol. Otherwise it’s just a shithole full of “aHkshUaly” people.
Take your clothes off, or give me something actually interesting and insightful to read, or fuck right off.
Which is kind of funny because one of the reasons Reddit got so big was because of the pornography

Lmao this puritanical turn from all these tech companies over the last 5-6 years I don’t get it. All they are going to do is speed self-immolation. What is happening to the internet.
Well, actually, you can view it through Infinity.
Not just porn! Since reddit only has one such tag you can apply to posts, many subreddits were using the NSFW tag for a wider variety of reasons such as spoilers, content which may contain unsettling material (aka “triggers”), and more!
The stoners on Reddit got screwed - many of the weed subs got the banhammer, and the rest got NSFW’d because spez wants Reddit as G-rated as Disney for the IPO.
