The developer of third-party Reddit client Apollo, upon hearing about Imgur's upcoming ban, noted that Imgur had been the "main place for NSFW Reddit image uploads, since Reddit didn't allow explicit uploads from the desktop." But with Imgur days away from a grand purge, (including inactive content not tied to Imgur user accounts), Reddit will pick up the capability, providing its desktop users with an option. Although Reddit started allowing users to directly upload images to the site in 2016, many users still used Imgur for their explicit imagery needs. It's also notable to Redditors who dabble in naughty postings. The expected impact is noteworthy, considering Imgur's decades-long reputation for hosting all sorts of high-resolution images. "This now gives us feature parity with our mobile apps, which (as you know) already has this functionality," Reddit's announcement on the r/modnews subreddit says.Īs of May 15, image-hosting site Imgur will no longer allow nudity, pornography, or sexually explicit content and remove any images that fall under that umbrella. On Thursday, Reddit started allowing not safe for work (NSFW) images to be uploaded from desktops to communities limited to users ages 18 and up, as spotted by TechCrunch. If you've been worried about how you're going to upload explicit images from your desktop to Reddit after Imgur's ban and purge takes place on May 15, you can now rest easy.
