Reddit VS prawcore

Slashdot, reddit, and HN are similar in that the source code was available. For HN, as part of arc under the Artistic license. All 3 abandoned public source code releases.

While it would likely have zero overlap with the code in use today if you look at the old code Reddit used to publish for voting the model at that point used to have flags/checks for :

I've been trying to host my own instance of Reddit from archived source code on GitHub. Even though I am aware that's probably not a good idea since many dependencies are broken and there's practically no documentation on anything (and it's really old legacy code), but I still decided to give it a shot.

Shh, don't tell spez, the code is already available on the github https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/

Automod to act based on keywords/domains/etc., ideally using the same language/flags/regex/etc. of the original automod (old code) so that it's possible to use existing code. (For detecting off-topic posts, enforcing a title format, reminding the users to add missing details to post, filtering profanity, shadowbanning spammers, etc.)

Reddit pre enshittification is actually open source so spinning up your own Reddit instance should be trivially easy. I’m very surprised no one did this after the API protests started

There are already 1:1 reddit clones based on older versions of their software that was open source: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit

I checked this file: https://github.com/praw-dev/prawcore/blob/main/prawcore/exceptions.py which states that the Forbidden exception occurs when "authentication is not permitted for the request" but I don't understand how that can happen for science but not movies. Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

It's been a while, but I put the whole explanation for my change in the ticket here, which includes a link to the spreadsheet (you can make a copy of the spreadsheet to change the variables) where I show the math over time. The goals were to use up requests as fast as possible, ie don't sleep at all, when there's extra ones, and also try to avoid a multi-minute long sleep at the end of the window by preemptively rationing requests when it's behind.

I don't think the error is due to a rate limit. Since the error is raised when you're getting the author's detail with author.comment_karma, as already commented, I think the author has been deleted or hidden at that time for some reason. So I recommend to log the author's name, and actual request you sent if possible; see https://github.com/praw-dev/prawcore/blob/main/prawcore/exceptions.py and examine ex.original_exception (where ex is the exception object) for details.

Looks like you found the problem. For future reference, it's definitely an option to just manually edit the installed praw/asyncpraw files and print a stacktrace on every call. I think just here would do it.

Since some OAuth2 client implementations might not handle this scenario (whereas PRAW does, for example), we’re not immediately enforcing revocation of the consumed refresh token. We’re looking to enforce this starting in Q2 2021
