How do you manage adult content and NSFW visibility in your settings?

Reddit's NSFW content visibility is governed by a combination of age verification, account settings, and community-level tags. By default, Reddit restricts mature content for new accounts and for logged-out visitors: NSFW-tagged posts are hidden from feeds and blurred in search results until you explicitly opt in by verifying your age through the settings. To enable or disable adult content visibility, navigate to your account Settings and look for the Content or Preferences tab. On desktop, according to Reddit's NSFW settings guidance, this toggle is approximately one quarter of the way down the Preferences tab under a section labeled "Content." The toggle is labeled "Show mature (18+) content" or similar. When you turn it on, Reddit asks you to confirm you are over 18, and once confirmed, NSFW-tagged posts begin appearing in your feeds and search results. Turning the toggle off at any time removes this content from view again immediately. On the mobile app, the NSFW toggle is found under Profile settings, where there is a labeled option for NSFW content. The app also offers a secondary toggle to blur NSFW images and media, allowing the post to appear in your feed but with the media obscured behind a blur until you explicitly tap to reveal it — this is a middle-ground option for users who want to be aware a NSFW post exists without being automatically exposed to its content. Community-level NSFW settings also exist. Individual subreddits can be designated as NSFW communities by their moderators, which means that all content from those communities is automatically tagged as mature regardless of individual post labels. Even if you have enabled NSFW visibility globally, you can mute specific NSFW communities individually to exclude them while still seeing NSFW content from other sources. This layered control system — global toggle plus per-community muting — gives users reasonably granular management over their exposure to adult content.
