Reddit is one of the most-used pornography sites on the internet, mostly because it's mixed in with a much larger amount of non-pornographic content so can't be filtered by the usual domain-blocking tools. Children are certainly accessing porn via both the website and apps that use the Reddit API.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the first step towards removing all the pornography off Reddit entirely, for good reason as much of it is very extreme and not something children should be looking at at all really. And even more of it is degrading to women, depicting them just as holes to fuck. It was worse in the past too, with so-called "jailbait" subreddits and pornographic images of dead women, which were only removed after a considerable amount of pressure on the admins. Really makes one wonder what their priorities are.
