Research direction
Start at the TypeScript entry point for context.reddit.getNewPosts and inspect how a 403 response from a gated subreddit is handled. Done means retrieval methods can access the posts after the interstitial warning is dismissed, with the behavior covered by an appropriate test.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
These are subreddits that have an interstitial warning that you have to click through the first time you view the subreddit, mostly related to drugs, incest or similar.
const posts = await context.reddit.getNewPosts({
subredditName: "cocainegonewild",
limit: 100,
}).all();
This returns a 403 Forbidden result, along with the warning that would have been displayed to subreddit users. It would be great if the Devvit API could somehow "dismiss" the warning like a regular user could.
