If you've been worried about how you're going to upload explicit images from your desktop to Reddit after Imgur's ban and purge takes place on May 15, you can now rest easy. On Thursday, Reddit started allowing not safe for work (NSFW) images to be uploaded from desktops to communities limited to users ages 18 and up, as spotted by TechCrunch.
"This now gives us feature parity with our mobile apps, which (as you know) already has this functionality," Reddit's announcement on the r/modnews subreddit says.
As of May 15, image-hosting site Imgur will no longer allow nudity, pornography, or sexually explicit content and remove any images that fall under that umbrella.
