Setting up

You should need to do these only the first time.

1. Make sure you have a reddit account firsthand.
2. Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/ and sign in with your reddit account.
3. Click on the 'create app' option and provide an app name and app description as you'd like.
4. Select the script option.
5. Fill in the Redirect URIs placeholder with http://localhost:8080/, and click on 'create app'.
6. Copy the Name, Client ID and Client Secret and paste it in their respective placeholders in the script.
   • ⚠️ Please remember to never share your Client Secret with anyone. This could lead to your account getting stolen or irregular Reddit user behavior that could lead to account termination.
