Your Issue Detail: The official Reddit app seems to heavily rely on e,reddit.com to work. If the domain is blocked, the app will not load any feed nor will it let the user log into the app. I have not done any further testing but just the two functions mentioned previously breaks the app altogether.

@mineminemine That's interesting, I reinstalled reddit app on my phone and I was able to sign in again and my feed was also working fine. I could see e.reddit.com getting blocked in pi-hole logs while doing these actions.

Hello @anudeepND it's been a while since I came across this issue but the last time I did, e.reddit.com was indeed the issue. However, I just tried it again on my app with e.reddit.com un-whitelisted and it seems like its working fine now, whatever was the problem seems to have been rectified on Reddit's side. Maybe they removed whatever feature that was relying on that specific subdomain.

So I guess this issue is now fixed, I'll just close the issue then. Sorry for the trouble.
