Research direction

Reproduce the crash while viewing a subreddit on Android 6.0.1, comparing RedReader 1.17.3 with 1.18, 1.18.1, and 1.19, and review the linked videos for the failure point. Trace the crash from the subreddit-viewing entry point and capture the relevant error. Done means viewing a subreddit no longer crashes on the reported device and versions.
