I tried running it locally, but it stops without any errors after 2 or so seconds. It seems like the web version does the same.

Reddit went through a redesign as of recently, so the scraping code in scraper.js is unfortunately outdated.

I'm not sure how JavaScript-driven the new design is. It might be necessary to leverage a browser automation library like Nightmare.

Could a temporary fix be to use old.reddit.com?
