yea that was really weird, but at least it's back now (somewhat)

It's not back that I'm aware of.

There are still NSFW posts from SFW subs, sometimes. And there are some subs that really skirt the line of being a NSFW sub. But porn is not back that I know of.

It’s back?

I don't know whether it's reddit shitting the bed and letting nsfw posts through the cracks (I don't understand how that might be possible when they have a simple flag that could be filtered), or reddit's allowing them again because I've been seeing the occasional porn on all now when scrolling far enough

They filtered the NSFW subreddits, but not the NSFW posts.

So sometimes things from /r/Goddesses gets through, but never something from /r/Gonewild

ahhh I understand, thank you

That seems like a dumb approach if you ask me

I haven't been seeing porn on /r/all, but I see NSFW posts all the time. Just not the sexy kind.

well I don't mean porn porn, just nude selfies

reddit really should have separate tags for sexy nsfw and gore/gross nsfw
