Reddit to allow users to upload NSFW images from desktop

In a recent annuncement on Thursday, Reddit has enabled users to upload NSFW images from desktops in adult communities, a feature already available on the mobile app.

The new step is aimed to bring parity across its platforms, the company said. The announcement came just a few days after Reddit stated that it was banning all explicit photos on the image-sharing platform, from May 15.

According to the company, explicit content was forming a risk to Imgur’s “community and its business" and taking steps to ban such content would “protect the future of the Imgur community.”

NSFW communities have had to face many hurdles on the site to host images, especially when last month Reddit announced it would start charging for its API and limit access to mature content available through it.

This impacted the experience of third-party Reddit apps.
