Bugs

Because the library used for Reddit is quite old ("snoowrap", 2 years), ratelimits are not handled at all. You might experience the process crashing with 429 errors. To prevent this, lower the amount of posts fetched. The max should be 1000-900 posts in 10 minutes, if we are to trust the X-ratelimit headers.

The code is using puppeteer, meaning you might have trouble running the bot on a lower-end machine.
