Do you filter NSFW stuff by default?

Right now it just loads whatever the subreddit returns. I'm working on adding an option for that. If you want to browse a SFW one you can just pick a subreddit you know is SFW:

This doesn't work at all for me in Safari tech preview on Mac, just has weird blue background and some white lines. Normal safari seems to load a visual, but I can't seem to do anything with it. TL;DR- I don't get it, but thanks for sharing.

It's hilariously broken on Safari Technology Preview, but I think that's because it's using WebGL calls that Safari doesn't support correctly yet.

Do you support VR in any way? Can I use this in my Oculus Quest browser?

Thanks, I hate it? Seriously, great job, supremely disorienting - it almost felt like the Internet again.

Also, I could walk through the walls of the "museum", are there no clipping options?

I actually followed the "rules" of the walls myself, until my forward key got stuck and I started phasing through things. I never even thought to check the clipping.
