    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.

          Lemmy is licensed under the AGPL, so they’re required to share modifications to the source code. I wouldn’t necessarily come out swinging at them, but you may want to inquire. lemmynsfw was also running a similar patch at one point, so it might be worth reaching out to them too.
