Self-hosted Reddit integration

The following steps will guide you through the simple process of creating a Reddit application.

1. Go to the Reddit developer portal and click on Create an App at the bottom of the page.
2. It will ask you to fill up some details. You can use the image below as an example. Make sure to replace the about url with your organizaiton's URL, and the redirect url by https://pizzly.{your_url}.

Reddit will then give you a client ID and secret. Make sure to copy those and keep them safe.

To set up the integration, you will need to configure Pizzly to use your Reddit app. To do that, you have to run the command npx pizzly config:create reddit reddit <client-id> <client-secret> "read,mysubreddits" in the pod where your Pizzly instance lives. You can read more about configuring Pizzly here.
