I can't even view comments without downloading the app. All NSFW posts are behind a app wall ("use anonymous mode in app to view porn"). They know it will get people to download the app. All subreddits are behind an app wall. All live streams too, but since I don't care about them, I ain't complaining.

I was able to see small subreddits without the app. I was thinking whether they are blocking only the bigger subreddits.

  They block based on the country you are from. If I use a UK/US VPN, I don't get the download app banner. But when I browse without a VPN (Indian IP), I get so many popups asking me to download the app.

    I'm in the UK and I get the reddit app banners all the time browsing with my phone; I can ignore them and still browse the site. I don't comment often, so I moved to use https://teddit.net/ https://teddit.net/ -- probably a temp solution, but as long as it is available, I'll use it.

      Yeah, but I don't want to do all that. I stopped using reddit.

  How long have you scrolled? Ime, you can view only like a dozen posts, then it requires you to log in. Same for comments. Bigger subreddits seem blocked right away. They chose the Pinterest model, and unlike Pinterest, Reddit actually has good content.

If you're on ios, use apollo app. Its not reddit's app so privacy concerns are nill but they have the best ui hands-down to browse reddit. Also, NSFW posts work fine on apollo ;)

  My only gripe with Apollo is the mod-mail functionality. Other than that, it is the best way to use Reddit. I can’t remember the last time I saw an ad or sponsored post!

Reddit NSFW content is best viewed on scrolller.com anyway :)
