I heard another user say they created a subreddit and made it private and voila they were a mod and could use the third party app and see nsfw content lol. Not sure how long that'll last but we'll see.
use the patch method and you can get full functionality with your own app id

Why bother going through all that trouble of continuing to provide reddit account based information, and then being tempted to engage with the platform and add value to it by providing comments for other people to reply to. Like the reddit yearly highlights is enough proof of much data they collect on users.
I say just settle for Stealth if you want to use reddit on mobile. It's a reddit app that has no option to log in so is a pure lurk mode app. You can subscribe and save posts locally and export it the way newpipe works. It uses teddit instances or a web scraper to access content.
Well, I can still comment, and view nsfw posts, which is one of the things on Lemmy that is growing slowly. Additionally, I'm a mod there, so, I kind of have to access actually useful mod tools somehow when on mobile
That makes sense to use a cracked Boost in that case. I'm more in the camp of burn as much bridges as possible from reddit, so no account use, interactions, and wiped my content which is why Stealth has been preferable for me. Especially with the Privacy front end option as opposed to a direct reddit.com access.
As for NSFW content stealth displays it all.
I can confirm. I'm still able to see NSFW and everything else with Boost. I'm a mod of a tiny subreddit.
