I use FeedDemon and I noticed that some Tumblr RSS feeds had stopped working recently. I thought it was random but I found out that all of the feeds that stopped working were for NSFW blogs.
It seems as though Tumblr's default safe mode filter is preventing RSS feeds from working for NSFW blogs. An example of how trying to access one of these feeds can be found here, it appears as though the html for the 'safe mode' page is accessed instead of the RSS itself. Is there any way to make it so that these feeds can be accessed from a program such as FeedDemon?
UPDATE: it appears as though tumblr has changed their policy, as NSFW blog RSS feeds can now be accessed by my RSS reader without any modification done by myself.
Step 1: Sign in to your Tumblr account, click the Account icon, and then select Settings. Step 2: On the Filtering section, tap the switch next to the Safe Mode to turn it off. That’s it! You should now be able to search for and access blogs or posts that were previously flagged as ‘not safe for work.’
There are certain websites that let you access Tumblr by directly bypassing the restriction. Let’s look at a few of them. GramUnion lets you instantly access any Tumblr blog — restricted or unrestricted — by simply inserting its name.
Step 1: Open the Settings app from the Home screen, scroll down, and then tap Tumblr. Step 2: Under Tumblr Settings, tap on the Safe Mode. Step 3: Tap Don’t Hide Anything to turn Safe Mode off. You should be able to access all NSFW content once you re-open the Tumblr app.
During the signup process, Tumblr already asks for your date of birth and that’s what they use to determine your age. Once you reach 18, you will have the option to turn off the safe mode feature.
It appears that Tumblr has made an exception for Feedburner ― all Tumblr RSS feeds can be retrieved by Feedburner, and from there they can be read by any aggregator.
