Currently Reddit Lurker only works with public subreddits and posts. Private and restricted subreddits require authentication, which would mean adding Reddit OAuth2 support.
This is doable but adds complexity (API key registration, token management, credential storage) that goes against the zero-auth design.
If there's enough interest, we'll build it. Star the repo and thumbs-up this issue to show demand.
What it would look like:
- Optional, not required. Unauthenticated mode stays the default.
- Provide Reddit API credentials via environment variables.
- Unlocks access to private/restricted subs you're a member of.
- Higher rate limits (authenticated gets 100 req/min vs 10).
