If that’s the adult-consent thing, it can be bypassed using web dev tools to delete the blur and the click-prevention things. That’s the only way I was able to see the site at all.
Well I was able to disable it. Though I’m still curious why there’s such a weird blur effect to go along with an equally-weird adult-consent thing which requires javascript. ~Also worth noting that removing the blur doesn’t allow clicking any links.~ Nevermind, I was able to get that to work. But each page load/reload requires this same attention. Still weird. I’ve never come across a lemmy instance that’s gated in this way before. Most either have a blank page or captcha. And I’m still curious about why this one is configured like this.
Why the blur?
Not true. He and a select few others are in the process of providing the great collapse.
