Description
I've been trying to prove Reddit. It works, but not when only running `keybase prove reddit`. When I enter a username in whatever form, it just asks again.
```
hillebrand@T420s:~/Downloads$ keybase prove reddit
You already have a proof for [...] @reddit; overwrite? [y/N] y # just to prove this bug
Your username on Reddit: [...] # Entering my username...
Your username on Reddit: /u/[...] # Entering it in another format...
Your username on Reddit: @[...] # And another one....
Your username on Reddit: ▶ ERROR input canceled # Until the user just gives up.
hillebrand@T420s:~/Downloads$ keybase prove reddit [...]
You already have a proof for [...]@reddit; overwrite? [y/N] y
Please click on the following link to post to Reddit:

Check Reddit now? [Y/n] n # Don't want to authenticate again
▶ ERROR Proof wasn't available; we'll keep trying

Research direction
Reproduce `keybase prove reddit` without a username, then compare it with the form that includes a username. Investigate why the interactive prompt rejects the entered username and verify that the prompt accepts the documented formats and that the Reddit proof flow completes.
