Pro-tip: use a libreddit mirror when linking to a Reddit thread (self.reddit)

Use a libreddit mirror like https://reddit.adminforge.de to link to Reddit threads so that Reddit gets 0 traffic and 0 ad revenue from us opening the thread.

For example, if the Reddit link is:

https://old.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/

Then you simply have to replace old.reddit.com by reddit.adminforge.de so that the link becomes:

https://reddit.adminforge.de/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/

Will that website be killed by the api changes?

apparently libreddit instances will be impacted by the API changes

This newer issue looks like they're investigating ways to use the private API. I doubt it'll last long, but they're trying to keep up by finding loopholes and workarounds.
