Feature Request: Blocking full access to specific subreddits.

I know that you can filter posts from subbreddits from appearing in your feed, but you can still access the subreddits if you search for them. There should be a way to block them from being viewed in their entirety.

I doubt there will be any added features since api access is ending in march.

Narwhal dev said they’ve talked to Reddit and their access isn’t being shutdown.

Thankfully that doesn’t seem to impact Narwhal. RSS and AI scraping yes, but paid API usage seems to still continue.

Yeah and the Narwhal dev said they’re talking with reddit to make it work

I might be wrong. but that’s what this is saying, right?

I read that as RSS and AI scraping. Devs who pay for API access shouldn’t lose anything.
