add link to reddit status page. #753
Conversation
|
I realize the error page is a bit overloaded in use (i.e. there are many paths that lead to the error page). Many of these paths point to some problem with reddit though, and it didn't feel worth to refactor everything for a small link that is likely useful in most cases. |

This is a good start, but remember that template is used for conveying any class of error we get from Reddit (i.e. any response with codes in the 400-5xx range). See the function error in src/utils.rs.
Ideally, we should instruct the user to visit https://redditstatus.com/ when Reddit responds to requests with 5xx's, and not 4xx's. The latter case will happen, for example, when a user attempts to view a banned subreddit.
Reddit is down. Good opportunity to make the error page slightly more nice to use.
