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.
Weird. My state blocks pornhub, but not this. Is the media rehosted somewhere else?
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
Land of the free.
We’re in the middle of a long theocratic coup, cut us some slack.
The media is not rehosted, no.

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”?

What is Arctic?
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.
