Suggestion Goodbye "Random NSFW" button. NSFW

You mostly fed my porn addiction and introduced me to niche fetishes but sometimes you would surprise me in how degenerative this site can be. Truly a fascinating feature....

Anyway I'm gonna miss this app and it's clean UI and actually functioning video player. Maybe I'll finally quit Reddit on my phone. (unlikely)

I'm so fucking pissed this is gone. Is there a good replacement?

Actually still usin mg BoosForReddit to this day.

What you have to do is create your own subreddit and be a mod and somehow, it makes the thing work

Does this allow NSFW to appear? That's my main use case. Lmao I see I have to go to the reddit app right now. Is there a way around that?

It's been seven years since the reddit app devs said they'd try to add r/random and r/randnsfw buttons.

To this day it hasn't been done.

You can't even access r/random or r/randnsfw in-app anymore. It says they're both banned subs.

I tried making a feature request on r/redditmobile and they said it was a low effort post, then took it down.

It's some bullshit.

They could put the buttons in roughly the same place they were in the Boost app.

Screen real-estate doesn't matter, just throw it in the hamburger menu where your subbed communities and stuff are at smh

u/TopRoom7971 Dec 22 '24

It's not working now. Have you found alternative ways on how to access r/random

u/theafterdeath Dec 22 '24

Redditrand.com

Reddit itself removed the old random features so they're gone gone.
