Private subs are private for everyone, even members.
Only sub moderators and admins can access private subs. You won't be able to see the threads that come up in your search results either way unless they become public again.
- noahjk 3y agoThere's a third tier, something like "approved submitters." Some subs, especially smaller ones, would randomly add users to the list based on some criteria. These people would be able to browse private subs as well. There's a way to see what subs you've been added to as an approved submitter, somewhere on old.Reddit under the subreddits page
- x3n0ph3n3 3y agoThis isn't true at all -- I can see content in all of the private subreddits that I am already subscribed to. It is only restricted to anonymous users or users who are not subscribed.
- thecosmicfrog 3y agoThose are probably subs that are in read-only mode. Private subs are completely inaccessible.
