Following changes to its API access, users are forced to log in on the official Reddit app if they want to view NSFW content on mobile.

For science I just pulled up a few long-established pornography-specific subreddits (photo, video, and prose-based) in the current version of RedReader, the app which has been spared the axe by Reddit for now. I can confirm that the NSFW subreddits and individual posts still seems to be working and viewable in that app.

EDIT: Disregard, per reply comments this won't work after an update. :-P

Just tried downloading RedReader and after logging in, its no longer showing any NSFW content :(

There's an update that makes you login again. It installed for me yesterday. After the update get an annoying locked post from u/redditmaturecontent telling you to go to Reddit access NSFW content now.
