Hi @drewwalters96 . I have a question on your vision here. It appears that subscribed subreddits, as well as upvotes and downvotes, are restricted data inaccessible via PRAW unless the queried redditor is the one currently authenticated through PRAW.

Given this restriction, what do you think the appropriate direction is for eliminating subscribed subreddits? The simplest solution to me would be to assume that any active subreddit for the queried user is an already-subscribed sub.
