Reddit clients on iOS already have to filter out NSFW content unless the viewer is logged in and has some settings applied to their account.

This is an Apple policy not a Reddit policy

I help make one such Reddit client. There’s an invisible rule that you can’t show users the NSFW toggle or even mention that it’s on the website. We had a toggle that only lets you turn it off if it’s on, and that alone was too much.

We also got rejected once because the top post that day had the word “fuck” in it. That was a fun one.

Telegram has it that you have to log in to the web one and switch a toggle which will unblock content on the iOS app. Everyone just assumes iOS the app doesn’t allow it so the setting is spread via word of mouth. It’s honestly insane.

Android here, that link is busted for me unless I install the app. seems like a reddit problem to me
