Description

Heyo, just got an email saying my Reddit proof is no longer active despite the post definitely still being present.

https://www.reddit.com/r/KeybaseProofs/comments/k0c3db/my_keybase_proof_redditcaraar12345/

Presumably this is due to the API changes brought in this month; might be worth simply removing Reddit as a proof method based on how much I imagine it would cost Keybase!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Reddit proof check for the linked Keybase proof and compare its behavior with the current Reddit API. Determine whether the proof can be repaired or should be removed, then verify the chosen outcome against the reported still-present post.
