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.
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?
To be fair, there's been a site wide spoiler tag for a few years now, but yeah before it was introduced people used NSFW for that if a community didn't allow actual NSFW stuff or whatever
I think they made some exception for “educational” applications, but access has to be granted on a case-by-case basis, and let’s say those a very far and between.
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.
I got my RiF golden platinum working again by using revanced manager and a guide to patch in my own api key. I can still view NSFW content on it too. Not sure if it will stop eventually. But works right now. I only wanted to keep it for the NSFW stuff as lemmy is only just starting in that department. Been refusing to use it for general browsing though. Trying to stick with lemmy.
I can’t remember the exact quote but someone once said "if all porn was removed from the internet tomorrow, by the next day there would be one website left called bringbacktheporn.com
look up sync vanced for instructions. Additionally, I created an 18+ subreddit and set it to private to become a mod. not sure if the second part is needed but i did anyways and I can still use sync and see nsfw for now
