rss-bridge: Reddit 403 Forbidden

On and off my 5 reddit feeds fail in refresh. I’ve seen this 3 or 4 times now this week. It has worked fine for the past few months. But now, not all the time. Not sure what causes this. Nothing has changed (that I know of) on my end.

Some quota limit? Or fuckery from Reddit with API? Does anyone else have this? Thoughts?

For example;

HttpException: https://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=%20author%3ARevolutionaryYam85&sort=new&include_over_18=on resulted in 403 Forbidden in lib/contents.php line 106

index.php(11): RssBridge->main()
lib/RssBridge.php(113): DisplayAction->execute()
actions/DisplayAction.php(71): DisplayAction->createResponse()
actions/DisplayAction.php(106): RedditBridge->collectData()
bridges/RedditBridge.php(83): RedditBridge->collectDataInternal()
bridges/RedditBridge.php(142): getContents()
lib/contents.php(106)

Query string: action=display&context=user&u=RevolutionaryYam85&bridge=RedditBridge&format=Atom&d=new

Part of me just stumbled across this - it seems Reddit is being weird about RSS. Which suggests that it might be going away soon.

are you confortable giving the url you are getting 403 for?

Can confirm using old.reddit.com works right now. Famous last words.
