Thereʼs at least one emacs client for it, but it suffers from the same
issue as Gnus with the future changes to G-Suite: you need to log in
to reddit using a browser to generate the authentication
tokens. Logging in to www.reddit.com with LibreJS enabled fails for
me (although I get no warnings from LibreJS about nonfree Javascript).
