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.

This is the true final blow to third party apps.

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.

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.

Reddit doesn’t respect that on iPhones through any browser.

So anti consumer it hurts.

Last I heard, iThings weren't allowed to have other browsers, everything just had to be a different UI on top of Safari.

[-] trifictional@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yes that’s true. That’s why I can confidently say any browser because they are all the same.

Desktop Browser seems to be able to bypass some forced restrictions Safari has. Doesn't seem to work for Reddit, though.

Wow that's awful. I didn't think I could hate apple anymore than I have been for the last 17 years (I still remember the time my friend tried copying my music collection to is ipod and itunes deleted the entire folder)
