I heard that 5th of July that Reddit was blocking all access to NSFW if you aren’t logged in, they’re still open on RiF which is still functioning while logged out. Any clue what is going on or is Reddit just run by idiots?
You must log in or register to comment.
Likely the latter. RiF probably uses the free x amount of uses of the API while logged in users are directly seen as “premium” API users.
But other than lurking and manually searching the subs I see no reason to keep using RiF and generate traffic to them.
I hope Lemmy keeps growing but currently it’s a sheer difference in content between here and Reddit.
They can still see the traffic is from the API and they aren’t getting the ad revenue so I see it as another form of protest / nonconformity.
If they see people using the free API tier instead of switching to official app and logging in, that’s a loss for them.
All I get when I open rif is an infinite loading wheel.
Open Reddit is Fun Golden and logout… I don’t get why but it’s kinda working for viewing…
Golden?
I also can see all nsfw/normal posts in the rif golden platinum. The free tier explains the normal posts but it is weird that we can still see nsfw ones.
