Research direction

Start by inspecting the Reddit client imported from @devvit/web/server and compare its exposed methods with the public RedditAPIClient documentation linked in the issue. Determine whether getCurrentSubredditName() should be available in the server context; done means the access behavior is corrected or clearly documented.

Description

reddit-api

The reddit client imported from @devvit/web/server does not expose the getCurrentSubredditName() method, which is documented as available on the RedditAPIClient in the public API.

This limits efficient access to the subreddit name in server-side Devvit Web apps.

The documentation does not clarify if or how this method should be accessed in the server context Docs: getCurrentSubredditName().
