Description

The keybase client can't seem to find my reddit proof, even though I can view it while logged out or in an incognito window:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Keybase client's failure to find the Reddit proof at the linked Reddit URL, comparing logged-out and incognito access as described. Trace the client's Reddit proof lookup entry point and determine why this publicly viewable proof is not detected. Done means the client recognizes this proof successfully; add or update a regression test if the relevant test location is identified.
