getSubredditByName fails when trying to retrieve details of gated subreddits #66

Open fsvreddit opened 3 months ago

fsvreddit commented 3 months ago

Some subreddits, like /r/drugs, have an interstitial warning that includes a content advisory and helpline details. This causes getSubredditByName to fail when trying to retrieve the subreddit details

e.g.

const sub = await context.reddit.getSubredditByName("drugs");
console.log(sub);

fails with error:

The same error occurs on getSubredditById("t5_2qh7l"). It may be also worth checking getCurrentSubreddit(), because it may cause issues with the use of Devvit apps in general on gated subreddits.
