I don’t know how long or well it’ll work, but so far I was able to evade the initial “no URL shortener” Reddit filtering with it.

But for reasons I ended up paying for a month of a Pro plan on a URL shortening service to only find out I didn’t need to for what I needed, so now I’ve got a limit of like 1k links on a custom domain LMAO

So if it’ll help, DM me a comm you want a “cloaked” link to to spread around on Reddit and I’ll send you a link on a custom fresh domain you can throw around

    I mean web scraping also exists and scraper based Reddit frontends have been and still are a thing. Also using accounts API isn’t ideal since they can figure out that an account is being used to look at stuff like that and either suspend it or worse just make shadowbans visible and not apparent to that account.

    Can’t so easily fuck with a web scraper or tool just looking at the raw web page data.
