Reddit still has a lot of adult content, but AFAIK you can't find it unless you know where it is.

I know the search in Reddit is absolute trash, but let’s not pretend such silly things, okay?

  Don't you need to toggle the setting on if you use the official app? Plenty of folk will never look there.

    Plenty of folk won't want adult content to show up in their search results. I'd wager that those that do are capable enough to check their settings, given that they should know concepts like safe search from google.

At least on old.reddit.com, underneath the searchbar is an expandable help section that, among others, explains the nsfw: search parameter. I'd hardly call that hidden.

  Was for me. But...er...thanks.

  As an added "bonus", old.reddit.com bypasses the age verification too. You have to click a button, but you don't need to sign in or make an account or verify anything.

  Needing to know about old reddit seems pretty hidden to me

> Reddit still has a lot of adult content, but AFAIK you can't find it unless you know where it is. When Reddit made its infamous API changes over a year ago that caused many third-party apps to shut down, a less-publicized part of the change was that NSFW content would no longer be available in the API at all, even for apps that paid for the API access. There was a analysis done a while back which showed the impact that this had on overall posting behavior, because of how Reddit's algorithm works (a drop in visibility across the board will effectively downrank large NSFW subreddits more than small NSFW subreddits, because Reddit artificially boosts lower-volume subreddits in your frontpage so they don't get drowned out). You can also compare total vote counts from August 2023 to June 2023 to gauge the difference too.

I generally Google for the genre I'm interested in on reddit and it finds results easily enough.
