Currently pornhub yes, you can press the link icon to go to the source.

Weird. My state blocks pornhub, but not this. Is the media rehosted somewhere else?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago

It's probably "blocked" by restricting DNS queries to the main site (e.g pornhub.com) but not to any of their CDNs because ~effort~

We're in the middle of a long theocratic coup, cut us some slack.

The media is not rehosted, no.

Does your state block the site or does the site block your state so as to not comply with the ID requirement? If it's the opposite of what you said, then the scrolled isn't in your state most likely, so the site doesn't block access. The scroller then forwards it to you... Which might put the scrolled in jeopardy for not complying.

It’s the opposite of what I said. I almost edited to correct it twice but both times I decided it wasn’t that important 😅

What do you mean by “the scrolled”?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Autocorrected from "the scroller", my bad for not catching it

One quirky thing I noticed was with redgifs. It’s also blocked where I am but Arctic can load them fine via the app. So I can’t open the site but can see the content when it’s pulled by the app via api. So I’m guessing it’s something similar that’s happening here.

Lemmy client for IOS. It’s what I recommend for nsfw browsing because it can embed gifs and videos in the app, making browsing easier and smoother.
