Comment on Redlib is running on borrowed time — so I built a Reddit front-end that archives what it serves

Your demo instance seems unable to open any other subs.
Also it redirects to an archive path which is not how redlib works and makes me question how the sesmless response regardless of state is supposed to work.
Once it dumps me in the archive for whatever reason, don’t I have to go back manually? (Not that even seems possible right now)

Thats the designed behaviour, because expose your instance at public network and welcome anyone to open anything might quickly exhaust your poor oauth tokens’ use credits, which are just around 100 API requests per 10 mins.
So there is a main switch called “Disable upstream requests”, let that cloud svg besides searchbox to be grey and save your credits for NP archiving.
Anyway, if you host your own instance at homelab and turn that switch off, every sub is normal and free to browse.
