Posts on NSFW communities on Burggit are inaccessible to visitors of the site who are not logged in, meaning these communities can only be browsed pseudonymously. There are two reasons why I think this restriction should be lifted:

  1. Security and privacy: Some people on the internet may wish not for their browsing habits to be connected to an account and may wish to minimise identifiers. Some browse the internet with cookies disabled. Some have to live paranoidly on the internet due to where they live and other life situation reasons, and these people won’t be able to enjoy the NSFW communities on Burggit.
  2. Discoverability: To check out NSFW communities, people have to register an account, so it’s not possible to make a decision after seeing if you like the instance. Previously, you could browse Burggit’s NSFW communities on lemmynsfw.com without an account but after they defederated, this isn’t an option either. There might be other instances you can use now, but it’s not a good idea to count on other instances for this purpose.

I’m curious about what you think about this.

    I hope that code gets adopted into main in some form eventually. The only thing I miss from lemmyNSFW are the auto-expand / no blur images options.

    Also +1 for the ability to browse as an anon. That was one of my favorite features of the Infinity app I used to use. Also had an option to require a pin on unlock for mobile.

        Ah yes. I’m currently using it! Thank you for that. Images are still small, but it’s a huge improvement!

          There ought to be a way with tampermonkey to auto expand images, you just have to learn some css.

  }
}

function getImgUrl(thumbnail) {
  return thumbnail.firstChild.firstChild.attributes[0].value;
}

              Here’s a little script that simulates clicking the thumbnail (so it loads a higher quality image). Is this any better?

                Yes! This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. You da MVP.

                Edit: Ok, after browsing for a bit, it doesn’t seem to like switching between tabs like subscribed and local much, or posts that have already been viewed once might become blurry and small again. But I can live with that.

                  I’m glad you find it useful! I simplified it and it seems like images expand consistently when navigating between tabs this time. How is it for you now?
