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.
People should start mirroring Reddit porn to the appropriate fedi hubs. Porn is how tech grows; hate it or love it.
May I present you PornLemmy?
At last! Um…said this guy I know
Ok can I add this server to my profile some how? Or do I need a new account? The fediverse confuses me
Just be aware that in the fediverse everyone sees what you up and down vote.
As long as you have nsfw content enabled and your instance is federated with it (you’ll have to check since some instances do not federate with porn lemmys due to legal concerns). The list of federated and blocked instances for your instance is listed in the “Instances” link in the footer of your instance.
If you find that you are indeed federated with it, you can subscribe to its comms simply by finding them in the search feature on your own instance. They will then be visible on your homepage when you sort by “subscribed”.
You can simply open an incognito browser and go to pornlemmy.com
On desktop, logged into whatever instance on which you have an account, select “All” (instead of local) on the main page. This will enable you to see all communities on all instances. Click the subscribe button on the right to subsribe to a community. Note that the community doesn’t have to live on your home server for you to subscribe. Federation makes it so that different instances can share information with each other. Not sureif theresyet a wayto do the above on any of the lemmy phone apps.
Edit: instance as in lemmy instance as in website. For example my home instance is reddthat.com.
That site is just a normal lemmy instance, it just has a custom design. You can still sub to the communities from their on your current account, or you can make a porn alt on that instance.
Already happening
I always struggled with looking at the porn because my erection would get in the way. Thank you for reading and have a great day
Devastated at the fact that this comment rhymes.
Let’s send op to horny jail for their crimes
They can quote this whole rap in their time
You are very welcome my dear friend
Remember to leave a review on the official reddit app regarding it’s porno abilities - if there’s anything google/iOS app stores love more than anything it’s an abundance of apps dedicated to viewing porn
LMAO, perfect
What’s a Reddit?
A piece of shit now
Turddit
Deadit.
Shitit
I’ve heard it was a popular discussion place people would go to. Even called the front page of the internet because it was the first and best source for compiled news and information. Its CEO had some quotes that showed how important free flow of information was.
“I don’t think we should silence people just because their viewpoints are something we disagree with. There is value in the conversation, and we as a society need to confront these issues. This is an incredibly complex topic, and I’m sure our thinking will continue to evolve.”
“We are not the thought police. It’s not the role of a private company to decide what people can and cannot say.”
He was also forward thinking in designing an open forum, controlled by individuals.
“Our approach to governance is that communities can set appropriate standards around language for themselves. Many communities have rules around speech that are more restrictive than our own, and we fully support those rules.”
Wait, that sounds more like the Fediverse.
A miserable little pile of shitposts. But enough talk… Have at you!
A miserable pile of secrets
A Reddit is when you destroy a social media platform because you’re angry with its users. It’s a common billionaire or wannabe billionaire move.
A lot of deleted comments
deleted by creator
One of those dead websites like Digg, MySpace, Livejournal etc.
Must be one of those eReader things.
A featherless biped
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.
Brains or butthole, otherwise keep walking.
Words to live by. You should do T-Shirts.
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.
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.
wait really? which weed subs got banned?
Trees is still around, so idk lol.
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.
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

How does reddit tell the difference? Is it just nsfw communities not in the api or all nsfw posts? There is no discrepancy at least in the UI between NSFW gore and NSFW tits.
Also between the two I’d say porn is decidedly more advertiser friendly
They don’t, it’s any post or community marked with the NSFW tag
users are forced to log in on the official Reddit app if they want to view NSFW content on mobile.
the OP literally said it’s for all NSFW contents.
RIP In Pieces Reddit. This is what will finally kill that site.
So how’s the pr0n scene on Lemmy? Asking for a friend.
Using the connect app, how do I change my instance? It only seems to have 3 underneath it allows me to switch to, I can’t manually enter anything in the instance settings?
Not sure on connect. But what I personally do, I’ve made 2 accounts, one on each. And put them on liftoff inside of a secure folder. That way, I don’t have to necessarily search for what I want. I can just pop on to them and see what jumps out at me.
Nevernind, I had connec ti stalled. If yiu want separate accounts. Just open the app, click at the top left and add the accounts there.
Thanks. That eventually what I did. My brain seemed to ignore the option icon when clicking my username, and I was just looking below in the profile label and the settings label.
Hilarious that once I read a post about adult material, I seemed to somehow motivate myself until I figured it out. Confused if that’s a good quality or not. Lol
You’re welcome.
Life truly works in mysterious way. Happy wanking, fella.
I’d say it’s a good quality. Just bear in mind, I haven’t seen too many videos, and that’s my preferred method of viewing material.
It’s all in the name of research. 😂
Lemmynsfw.com has plenty
Also pornlemmy.com
Does it?? When I visit, I only see month old moderator posts.
Has something to do with NSFW posts not showing if you’re not logged in
You’re forced to create a user on lemmynsfw in order to see content, that’s why they have so many users. pornlemmy.com is different, they don’t put anything behind a firewall.
Yeah that instance confuses me. Every time I see it, it’s just mod posts and mostly tame pictures of celebrities. Am I missing something? Is there a secret knock?
You need to be logged in and have nsfw enabled on your account. I had the same issue for a bit.
You need to login
The admin is a pedo (check the loli comment).
You’re being downvoted because that admin admitted their mistakes and stepped away from the site (someone plz correct me if I’m wrong)
“I’m sorry I was fine with child porn but now I’m not” doesn’t sound sketchy at all, and he didn’t step away he is still there running things.
Totally - something just didn’t sit right seeing you be downvoted for being against CP lol
New instance, seems promising
Thanks friend!
Do we really need porn Here? Im trying to figure that out for myself.
If you want to grow, choose porn. It’s been the singular driving force in adoption since the ARPA started funding the internet.
I heard somewhere but have no source, that porn was the driving reason behind VHS becoming so popular.
Porn may have been one factor, but the bad recording times on beta are what really killed it. Here is a series of four videos detailing the differences between beta and VHS. And there was plenty of porn available on the beta.
Streaming video as well. I remember when YouTube was new and PornHub was just straight up the best video host on the internet. People were uploading their SFW videos there because the buffering was so much better.
Technology Connections did a REALLY good series of videos on VHS vs Betamax a few years back (and it is fun, if only because it was before he felt comfortable being incredibly snarky on camera).
But the gist is: no. That is a myth. Betamax had porn too. The real reasons VHS won were that it had a better licensing agreement for third parties, the physical format made it easier to see if the rental was rewound (so you could charge if it wasn’t), and it allowed for higher capacity recordings (so sports).
If you have a way to monetize? Porn is nice. The rental shops with the cowboy doors in the back tended to do better than the ones that only had Air Bud 51516161616. But, increasingly, the business model of social media (and the internet as a whole) is built around ads and sponsors. And even the dick pills companies tend to not like advertising alongside straight up porn. And all the incels and puritans even make advertising next to “hot tub streams” risky (even if you can often see much more risque stuff on billboards along the interstate…).
And of the companies that decided “porn wins the internet”: Tumblr is a shadow of its former self once it got rid of all the good stuff. Snapchat and Instagram have always walked a VERY fine line with very strict moderation. And OnlyFans and PornHub are pretty much at the mercy of credit card companies even letting people spend money there.
Not sure the benefits to locking it behind an app (or clicking the desktop site button in firefox) but between this and the ongoing “protests”? I wouldn’t be surprised if porn is straight up off reddit within the next year.
Imagine spending a thousand dollar right now on technology that has two standards not compatible and who knows if it is going to even work just so you could consume one type of media in the privacy of your home. Which media would be worth this great expense and risk?
Reminds of HD-DVD vs Blu-ray. During that time I bought into neither thankfully. I recall thinking HDDVD was the way to go but didn’t wanna invest in either.
The market is already pretty saturated, though. There are so many other places to view this type of content and in a better format than a link aggregator.
Like, wouldn’t Pornhub be a more streamlined way to look at porn? Or whatever other porn website?
I never understood the appeal of porn on reddit. I always just blocked the porn subs and went about my business.
Having said all that, I totally agree that it should be allowed or perhaps even encouraged. It’s a free and open system - let the people do what they want. Even if I personally don’t understand the appeal.
That’s true for most professional varieties of porn, but it’s amateur content direct from the makers that’s the unique niche. I’m sure there are plenty of other places that do that as well though. Personally I never cared about porn on reddit either.
People are pretty fond of the grassroots movement for independent creators to strike their own on reddit. Onlyfans is a good website for creators to monetize their content, but I don’t believe it does much for growing their following. Pornhub has gotten better for smaller creators but so many things are lost in their terrible tagging and indexing that they’re lost in the flood.
Topical community environments like reddit on the other hand let’s them show their specific content to a group that’s primed to like it. Mods are keeping the focus narrowed, so you’re less likely to compete against the same reposted clip from a decade ago that has little connection to the tags affixed. Pretty similar reasons for why it did so well on Tumblr as well.
You’re probably right. I think it matters more to content creators than consumers? Like, posting porn to Reddit is often advertising? And like anything, people must get some form if satisfaction interactions on specialty subs. You can’t just go to Pornhub and upload your favorite foot porn, right? Get upvotes, get that tiny dose of dopamine. Get to comment about how beautiful the girl is, hoping maybe she’ll like your complement more than the other thirsty guys’.
Social media, man. Interaction, even meaningless… it’s its own drug.
in a better format than a link aggregator.
Wouldn’t that also apply to any image content then (like comics, memes, infographics, etc)? It doesn’t stop it from being popular. The important thing is simply finding a site that allows your specific content and that doesn’t heavily compress it.
The internet is for porn. How you think net was born?
I know it’s probably a “Then we wouldn’t have this hilarious song” or whatever thing, but it always kind of bugs me that Kate never thinks to remind Trekkie that she works at a kindergarten. Like, sure, porn is a big part of the internet, but probably not appropriate for a lesson for kindergartners which was the original purpose of the song before he hijacks it?
Explain on their level.
The internet is for hugs. The internet is for hugs. Why you think net was born? For hugs hugs hugs!
Anyone can just create a porn instance, so why not as long as it’s moderated (and hopefully not full of illegal content)?
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
Ah so this is why my apps sorta kinda work but are buggy as shit.
You are the real mvp
Which app are you using? On boost it tries to load (even non NSFW) but it does not load the posts.
Edit: NVM, Took a while but SFW and NSFW posts indeed are still loading on boost, for various accounts of mine.
The way the block works is that NSFW content works as it used to, but subs tagged by admins as porn will not.
Oh damn, is that why infinity for reddit still works for me?
Also be sure to put a bunch of stupid shit in your sub to make the site more lame. Post about how it’s lame and people should use Lemmy or Kbin instead.
can’t look at anything on most 3rd party apps to be fair…
I’m still using Sync. Patched it using Revanced. I also see NSFW on it, because I started a bullshit NSFW sub. Shout out to https://reddit.com/r/droidsgonewild . I even posted some content so it didn’t look like I was just trying to get NSFW thru the API.
Reddit couldn’t meet their own deadlines. I’m using infinity on android, and its still working, at least to view content when logged out.
The apps that don’t work either chose to close, or had their their api keys revoked.
We all know what happened to Tumblr right?
They massacred my boy!
Judge me as the deranged pervert I am but there was a blog hurtboys that collated pictures of hot guys with bruises I miss to this day :'(
Spez is looking after /r/anal harder than anyone else is.
So reddit continues to fight its own user base…
Porn is the reason, the internet is so popular. It’s basically a driving force!
