      Thanks I’ll look into it, but unsure if that’s a great idea or not.

        There could be downsides that I’m not considering. I figure that:

        • People going to porn sites normally don’t have to register to see the porn, so requiring login is kinda jarring
        • You can’t tell if registration would be worth the effort if you can’t see what the content is like
        • It’s hard to figure out what communities you would want to subscribe to if you’re doing so from another instance

          Do you have a link to their backend or is it all custom? They seem to have done some inline video tweaking as well.

          Edit: according to the donation post it’s all custom.
