20K people have added 60K profile links in the first 24 hours! we pushed an update with some bug fixes and will keep polishing. thanks all for the feedback.

please feed the artists. there's a green button now

some folks reported not being able to use certain adult-focused platforms (like onlyfans and fansly) β€” there was an internal miscommunication and these were accidentally added to the list of disallowed domains. this is now fixed! but you may need to refresh your app to get the update. πŸ’™

It seems pretty safe to say "having a master list with those websites" at all has something to do with the other related quirk they announced. And I guess probably they messed up some if/else.

one note about adult sites in profile links: like other links to adult content, they will be labeled and hidden from logged-out visitors, minors, and people who have opted-out of seeing adult content.

These domain were explicitly designated as "sites that can't be added as profile links" under BLOCKED_DOMAINS, not "sites that are hidden to unlogged/underage users". This was not an accident or an error: someone wrote (or had the AI write) code that way, and someone greenlit the result.

i will say it is weird that they seemed to be lumped alongside url shorteners, but still they even have a "porn" label :) "the only thing hiding an adult-platform link is the porn label that filterModeratedLinkViews checks (state.ts:48-51)."
