      "Excerpt": "The docs just say \"get a client ID/secret\", but when I go to the page to request it, https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps (the link the `README` gives), it just refuses to give it to me, saying \n\n```\nIn order to create an application or use our API you can read our full policies here: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/42728983564564-Responsible-Builder-Policy\n```\n\nWhat do I need to do to get a key?\n\nActually, I thought I had heard in the news that to prevent scrapping by AI companies",

      "Excerpt": "Hi there - I have been using your MCP server and it is great. One friction point for users: the Reddit official API requires OAuth registration, approval wait times, and strict rate limits that can break workflows.\n\nSylvia API (https://sylvia-api.com) is a drop-in Reddit data alternative:\n- No OAuth, no Reddit app approval, no wait\n- 480 req/min free tier ($0.50 free credit)\n- $0.0005/req on paid tiers, crypto payments\n- Full historical data back to 2005, live comments firehose\n- Same data shape",

Flair is currently **read-only** (displayed, not settable) and there is no rules tool.\n\n## Proposal\n- `get_subreddit_rules(subreddit)` — fetch posting rules.\n- `get_post_flairs(subreddit)` — list available link flairs.\n- Accept `flair_id` (+ `flair_text`) in `create_post`.\n\nPairs with the existing safe-mode/compliance ethos.",

      "Excerpt": "## Problem\nReddit's limits are tight (~10 req/min anonymous, 60–100 authenticated). The client has **no 429 handling** today — only the safe-mode *write* delay and the 401-reauth retry. A single rate-limit response fails the whole tool call.\n\n## Proposal\nAdd transparent retry-with-backoff for HTTP 429 in `RedditClient.makeRequest`:\n- Honor `Retry-After` (seconds or HTTP-date) and fall back to `x-ratelimit-reset`; otherwise exponential backoff with a cap.\n- Bounded retries (config `maxRetries`, d",
